NYC Transit put out a call for project management and construction services to replace the Long Island Rail Road Fresh Pond Yard Truss Bridge. The solicitation runs under number CR#2140640 and bids are due December 17.
The posting does not state an estimated value or specific subcontracting goals.
The existing 176-foot steel truss bridge in Glendale, Queens, was built in 1916 and currently operates under a restricted 10-mile-per-hour maximum speed. The work involves designing and building an off-line replacement structure over five non-electrified tracks, with a waiver already granted by state transportation officials for a 19-foot vertical clearance.
This matters to a management firm because coordinating an off-line bridge swap over live rail tracks is a high-risk logistical puzzle. The agency needs a team that can handle the design-build oversight without disrupting yard operations.
Download the solicitation to see the exact management scope required, and submit your proposal by the December 17 deadline.
