SUFFERN – Brian Conybeare, Special Advisor the Governor on the New Tappan Zee Bridge, issued this statement on Friday, July 27:
“Today the Thruway Authority received three proposals for building a new bridge to replace the Tappan Zee. The proposals comprise more than 70 boxes of documents and an estimated 750,000 pages. The submitted bids are from the following teams:
- Kiewit-Skanska-Weeks Joint Venture
(Kiewit Infrastructure Co., Skanska USA Civil Northeast Inc., and Weeks Marine, Inc.) - Tappan Zee Bridge Partners, a Bechtel/Tutor Perini Joint Venture
(Bechtel Infrastructure Corporation and Tutor Perini Corporation) - Tappan Zee Constructors
(Fluor Enterprises, Inc., American Bridge Company, Granite Construction Northeast, Inc., and Traylor Bros., Inc.)
The first stage involves reviewing the proposals for completeness and compliance before the proposals are deemed accepted for substantive selection review, a process expected to take four weeks given the massive volume of material. Additional information regarding the selection process, which will begin in four weeks, will be available next week and the process will be open and transparent as federal procurement law will allow.”
