- Pre-Solicitation Notice GWMP 11(4), 11(7) Proposals from all business concerns will be accepted for the Design-Build (D-B) solicitation of the Rehabilitation of Arlington Memorial Bridge and Bascule Span Shoring, Project No. GWMP 11(4),11(7), located at District of Columbia (Washington, DC), as Solicitation Number: DTFH71-17-R-00006. The Arlington Memorial Bridge is a historic structure listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its significant architectural and engineering design as well as its symbolism and place within the monumental setting of Washington, DC. The bridge, opened to traffic in 1932, was constructed as a memorial to American patriotism and those who have died in military service to the country, as well as a symbolic representation of the reconciliation between the Union and Confederacy following the Civil War by connecting the Lincoln Memorial with Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial. The bridge was designed by the famed architectural firm, McKim, Mead & White, and the innovative bascule span was developed by the Strauss Engineering Corporation to fit a working draw span into the monumental design. The bascule span was last opened more than 50 years ago. The mechanical equipment and original electrical system is not operational. Modern electrical lines have been installed and are operational. It is not anticipated to reopen the bascule span in the future. The Arlington Memorial Bridge (Structure No. 3300-016P) is 2,162 feet long and 94 feet wide. The bridge consists of ten reinforced concrete arch approach spans and a double leaf bascule span at the bridge's center. Eight of the 10 approach spans convey the Potomac River under the bridge. Two smaller concrete arches span the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) and Ohio Drive SW, at each end of the bridge. The bridge has sidewalks on each side measuring 13'-9" each, and the roadway measures 60 feet from curb to curb, providing six 10-foot-wide vehicle travel lanes. The double-leaf bascule span consists of riveted steel trusses, supported on riveted steel trunnion posts with the counterweights below the deck. The bascule trusses support a floorbeam/stringer floor system and concrete filled grid deck. The main trunnions are spaced 216' on center (refer to the record contract plans for more details). There are four cast-in-place deck arch spans, on each side, leading up to the bascule span. These spans range in length from 166'-0" to 180'-0" from springline to springline. At the east end, the structure crosses Ohio Drive and at the west end crosses the northbound lanes of GWMP. Each of these spans is constructed as a deck arch with a 50'-0" span length from springline to springline followed by the concrete approach frames. The exterior of the longitudinal walls, abutments, and piers are clad with granite ashlar. This project at this time is "Subject to the Availability of Funding". The design and construction cost for this base project plus options is estimated to be more than $100,000,000. In accordance with Public Law 104-106 (41 U.S.C. 253m), the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) of the Federal Highway Administration is conducting a "two phased" Design-Build (D-B) selection process for the National Park Service.
