WSDOT Announces Kiewit-General with F|S as the Best Value Proposal for the SR 520 Bridge Pontoons

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) selected the Kiewit-General Joint Venture, with Floyd|Snider as a teaming member, as the apparent best price and technical proposal for building the new State Route 520 floating bridge concrete pontoons in Grays Harbor County. The Kiewit-General team will design and build a new pontoon construction facility in Grays Harbor County – scheduled to begin in late 2010, design and construct 33 new floating bridge pontoons, and store the pontoons until they are needed for the SR 520 floating bridge. Floyd|Snider will lead the project environmental permitting efforts with WSDOT.

In August, WSDOT identified the 55-acre Aberdeen Log Yard as the preferred site for the Grays Harbor area pontoon casting facility. Environmental review of the log yard site and the alternate 90-acre Anderson & Middleton site in Hoquiam is scheduled to be completed in 2010. After environmental review is completed and permits obtained, construction of the pontoon casting facility can begin. By the end of 2012, the first wave of the 33 pontoons will be constructed at the facility. More details about the SR 520 program are online at: www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/sr520bridge.
