PULASKI COUNTY (1-9) – The Arkansas State Highway Commission has approved selection
of a 30 Crossing project design-builder, according to Arkansas Department of Transportation
(ARDOT) officials.

The Arkansas State Highway Commission approved selection of Kiewit-Massman
Constructors to provide design and construction of the 30 Crossing project upon the
successful conclusion of an optimization and refinement period.

Kiewit-Massman Constructors was one of six design-build teams to respond to the 30
Crossing Request for Qualifications in June 2017. After respondents were short-listed, the
Request for Proposals was released in September 2018. Two short-listed teams provided
proposals in December 2018. After evaluating the proposals, which included design,
construction methods, third-party coordination, and an optimization and refinement plan,
ARDOT will move forward with entering into a design-build agreement with Kiewit Massman Constructors. The team includes lead designer Burns & McDonnell Engineering
and lead quality assurance firm Volkert.

The optimization and refinement period is a six-month period in which ARDOT and Kiewit Massman Constructors will work together to define the 30 Crossing project scope that can
be completed within the available funding.
