Brandon Road Interbasin Project Industry Day December 5-6, 2023

Brandon Road Interbasin Project Industry Day

This event is an opportunity for contractors, architectural engineering firms, navigation industry representatives, and other interested parties to learn more about the Brandon Road Interbasin Project (BRIP).  This session will focus primarily on the complexities, scope, and schedule for the first increments of BRIP construction (2024-26).  This construction activity will include Increment I-A (leading edge deterrents) and Increment I-B (site preparation and approach channel bedrock removal), both construction contracts are planned to be solicited for award in 2024.  A DRAFT Request for Proposals (RFP) with the full plans and specifications for Increment I-A will be posted to the “SAM.GOV”website by 17 November 2023.  We will also share the latest scoping information and schedule for the A&E Service Design Contract for the greater project that is anticipated to be awarded by summer 2024.  The Study Team is looking for attendance and input from large and small business interests. 

The following day, December 6, a site tour of the project site will be held from 9:30 a.m. until Noon, for interested parties.
