Hendricks Causeway Bridge over Northern Running Track – Technical Proposal (TP‑848)

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is seeking a single‑step technical proposal to perform preliminary design (pre‑liminary engineering) for the replacement of the Hendricks Causeway bridge over the Northern Running Track (CSX rail line) in Bergen County. The scope includes bridge design (three‑span continuous steel‑girder), roadway reconstruction, utility relocation, storm‑water management, right‑of‑way acquisition, and related environmental compliance. The work is limited to the Preliminary Design phase; final design and construction services may be added later as “extra work”. Firms must be pre‑qualified for the required service levels (B‑1‑C, E‑3‑A, H‑1‑A, T‑1‑A) and submit a comprehensive technical proposal by 10 a.m. on August 31, 2026. Evaluation heavily weighs the critical‑path schedule (50 % of technical score), firm capability (20 %), and key staff experience (15 % each). • Required disciplines: bridge design, environmental services, highway design, traffic engineering. • Mandatory deliverables: organization chart, resumes for Project Manager and key staff, critical‑path schedule (Primavera or equivalent), four‑page narrative on key issues, and separate uploads of required compliance documents (BRC, ownership disclosure, Iran/Russia certifications). • No cost or price information is disclosed; the total project estimate (design + construction) is approximately $44 million, with the design portion representing a fraction of that value.
