Request for Qualifications

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) will release a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Thursday, April 28, 2022, for the US-54/US-400 – Sedgwick and Butler County progressive design-build project. The RFQ will be available at https://eastkellogg.ksdotike.org.

Prospective design-build teams must submit their Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) by 2:00 p.m. (CDT) Monday, July 11, 2022. The SOQ presents, in general terms, the design-build teams’ qualifications for the project. KDOT will evaluate the SOQs and announce the shortlisted teams by Thursday, July 28, 2022.

KDOT will use a two-step process to select a design-build team. This RFQ to solicit SOQs is the first step KDOT will use to evaluate which teams are most qualified to successfully deliver the project. KDOT will shortlist up to four teams based on the SOQs. The second step, a Request for Proposals (RFP), is anticipated to be released by KDOT to the shortlisted teams Friday, July 29, 2022. It is anticipated that shortlisted teams will submit proposals Tuesday, September 20, 2022 for KDOT’s evaluation and that KDOT will select a winning team Monday, October 10, 2022.

The US-54/US-400 – Sedgwick and Butler County project has received approval to move forward as Kansas’ first progressive design-build project. The project will follow the existing alignment of US-54/US-400 from the intersection of K-96 to just east of the North 159th St. E. intersection and expand the existing facility to become a controlled-access freeway facility with additional travel lanes, frontage roads, and a reconfigured K-96 interchange.

If you are interested in submitting a Statement of Qualifications, please examine the RFQ posted April 28, 2022 on the project website at https://eastkellogg.ksdotike.org. The project website also contains additional information about the project and the progressive design build delivery method.

If you have problems accessing the RFQ, please contact eastkellogg@ksdotike.org.
