Procurement: THEA anticipates advertising and releasing the Request for Proposals (RFP) and associated contract documents in mid-November. THEA will be using a two-phase procurement process commencing with Expanded Letters of Interest (ELOI) and short-listing, followed by a submission of design, technical, and price proposals from proposers. An adjusted score formula considering price and technical score will determine the best–value selection of a design-build firm. Note, this project is under the “Cone of Silence”; questions regarding this project are to be directed to the Procurement Department.

Project Scope: The project improves the Selmon Expressway from west of S. Himes Avenue to east of S. Florida Avenue by increasing both mainline and ramp capacity while optimizing expressway traffic operations and improving safety. The project includes these major scope elements:

• Mainline capacity expansion through the addition of an additional 12’ lane in each direction from west of S. Himes Avenue (connecting to the existing 6-lane section) to approximately S. Franklin Street in downtown Tampa
• Roadway inside widening as necessary to accommodate the additional lane in each direction, plus pavement milling and resurfacing of the mainline, ramps, and select local roadways
• Select interchange and ramp improvements
• Inside widening of 26 mainline bridges to accommodate the additional lane in each direction
• Mainline bridge redecking over S. Himes Avenue and W. Mississippi Avenue
• Noise walls
• Aesthetic enhancements
• Other improvements include but are not limited to sidewalks, lighting, signing, ITS, tolling, drainage, signals, utility relocations, etc.
