Update
On June 16, 2009, UDOT released the Request for Proposals (RFP) for I-15 CORE to the three short-listed design-build teams. The teams are now developing their proposals, which will be submitted November 19, 2009. UDOT will select from the three teams in December 2009. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2010, and the I-15 CORE team has already made significant progress in preparing for construction, including: Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision (ROD): Received signed approval of the EIS from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The FHWA signed the ROD on August 15, 2008, which approved the expansion of I-15 from 12300 South to Payson. The EIS and ROD qualify the expansion to receive federal funding and allows state-funded projects to proceed. Funding: State legislature authorized a revenue and bonding package that allows for a $1.725 billion reconstruction of I-15 from American Fork to Provo. Survey: Completed additional aerial mapping and field surveys of the I-15 corridor. The mapping and survey work increases the accuracy of cost estimating and reduces risks design-builders will face in developing their bid. Soils Testing: Drilled soil samples at every bridge site and at 1000 ft intervals along the corridor. Samples provide the design-builders the necessary soil information to design and construct the most cost-effective structures. Roadway and Structure Design: Through value engineering, determined the most efficient design, which reduces the anticipated construction, right-of-way, and utility costs, while still meeting EIS commitments. Developed design-build proposal requirements to guide the final design and construction. Utilities: Identified and mapped all utility lines located within I-15 CORE. Drafted master agreements with affected companies for replacement of utilities impacted by reconstruction, focusing first on high-risk utilities that could affect cost and schedule. Right of Way (ROW) Acquisition: On schedule to acquire all of the right of way before construction begins. Local Coordination: Worked with stakeholders of I-15 CORE to address their interests in utilities, ROW, design, and betterment issues. The stakeholders include adjacent communities, business and property owners, the MPO, UTA, and other UDOT projects. Pioneer Crossing: Coordinated with Access Utah County in relation to the reconstruction of the interchange at American Fork Main St, which is being funded through I-15 CORE. Construction of Pioneer Crossing is 25 percent complete and is expected to be finished in October 2010. Schedule
UDOT is following an aggressive timeline of actively planning, designing, collaborating with communities and working to select the right contractor team for I-15 CORE by the end of the year.
