ROCHESTER, Minn.- The Minnesota Department of Transportation
today issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to the four short-listed
design-build construction teams to reconstruct Highway 52 from
Highway 63 to 85th St. NW in Rochester.
The four teams now have until September 20 to develop
respective technical and price proposals for the work. When the
proposals are finalized, a team of Mn/DOT, city of Rochester,
Olmsted County and Association of General Contractors staff will
evaluate the proposals. The successful design-build team will
be announced on October 25.
Following is a list of the four design-build teams:
-
Granite/McCrossan - Granite Construction Company,
Watsonville, California
-
Rochester Partners - Lunda Construction Company,
Rosemount, Minnesota
-
Silver Lake Constructors - Obayashi Corporation,
South San Francisco, California
-
Zumbrota River Constructors - Flour Daniel,
Burnsville, Minnesota
Construction on the Highway 52 (ROC 52) design-build, best value
project is expected to begin in early 2003. However, demolition
of boarded up buildings adjacent to the highway from 7th St. NW
to 6th St. SW will begin Monday, June 10.
Sixteen buildings at 10 different sites will be demolished or
removed. The work may require occasional lane restrictions on
the frontage roads, but Highway 52 mainline traffic should not
be affected. The demolition should be completed by late August.
Holst Excavating, Inc. of Prescott, Wis., is the prime contractor
for the $572,000 building removal project.
The Highway 52 (ROC 52) design-build, best value reconstruction
project is estimated to cost approximately $240 million, the largest
one time investment by Mn/DOT for a highway construction improvement.
When construction begins, the design-build team will have to complete
the project in five years or less, a savings of six years from
the original eleven-year construction schedule.
