The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is soliciting Letters of Interest from entities interested in providing design-build services to reconstruct the 11th Street Corridor, including replacement of the existing spans over the Anacostia River, in Southeast Washington, DC.

One design-build team will be selected to design and construct the project consistent with the Record of Decision, approved by FHWA on July 2, 2008, and the final environmental impact statement.  In addition to design and construction, other project elements such as public information, quality management, and environmental management may be included as part of the design-build contract.  DDOT will use a Best Value selection process to evaluate the ability of the design-build proposers to meet or exceed the project goals.

An informational meeting is scheduled from 1:30 pm to 4 pm, Monday, August 4, 2008 in the Community Conference Room, 2nd Floor, 2000 14th Street, NW (The Reeves Center) Washington, DC 20002. It is anticipated that the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will be released in mid-August.  At the meeting, a formal presentation will be made on the project, followed by a brief question and answer period and ending with time for networking.

Firms interested in receiving 11th Street Corridor Design-Build information should send a one-page Letter of Interest to the Anacostia Waterfront Program Management  Team by registered mail, Federal Express, UPS or similar delivery method that indicates proof of receipt, no later than Wednesday, August 13, 2008 to ensure that you receive all information.  The Letters of Interest will allow DDOT to compile a list of interested companies for notices and any announcements relating to the project.
