- Description
- Pursuant to 13.106-1(b), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order with Lehigh University to provide structural testing of an Electroslag Weld (ESW) specimen removed from the tower section of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (SFOBB) - Self-Anchored Suspension (SAS) span. Lehigh University will provide testing protocol development, validation, production testing, and technical report of the findings. Lehigh University is the only known source that has the possession of the weld removed from the SFOBB; this testing service cannot be attained from any other source. Additionally, Lehigh University is one of only four institutions with adequate testing lab large enough to test ESW in tension to understand the ramification of the internal defects on structural performance in a seismic event. The intent of this notice is not to request competitive proposals, and any information received from interested parties will only be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement should be conducted. However, interested parties may submit a description of their firm's capabilities for satisfying this requirement, which demonstrates they possess the ability to successfully perform this effort. All questions concerning this matter should be addressed directly to Dag Andargatchew at Dag.Andargatchew@dot.gov.
