THE PORT AUTHORITY OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY

MIDTOWN BUS TERMINAL REPLACEMENT PROGRAM - DYER DECK-OVERS

The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Port Authority Bus Terminal Replacement Project was published by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) on February 2, 2024, in the Federal Register. The Public Comment period commenced on February 2nd and Public Hearings will be taking place the week of February 20th. The Public has been invited to submit comments on the program by March 18th. These comments will be considered when preparing the Final EIS. The Final EIS and Record of Decision are anticipated to be issued by FTA later this year. The Port Authority will not give final authorization to initiate physical construction until completion of the Federal and City environmental review process.

While this process moves forward, the Port Authority plans to begin its initial stages of its procurement process for the Deck-Overs and Phase 1 (Storage and Staging Facility / Ramps) of the project. Once the environmental review process has run its course with appropriate approvals, the Port Authority will modify, as appropriate, these early action packages and move towards awarding initial construction contracts.

By starting the early stages of its procurement process, including the solicitation, evaluation, negotiation, and selection of contractors concurrently with the environmental review process, the Port Authority can be positioned to move this project forward promptly when final regulatory approvals are received. This Information for Bidders for the Deck-Overs is the first of various documents that will be issued this year. This portion of the project would provide decks over the Dyer Ave roadway, which will reconnect portions of the community while also creating space for a variety of purposes once the project moves forward, including bus operations during construction, and ultimately publicly accessible open space.

This Contract is to be funded in whole or in part by a combination of a loan under the United Stated Department of Transportation (DOT) Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program and grants from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). As a result, this Contract is subject to the requirements set forth in Chapter VII of the Form of Contract entitled "Federal Requirements".
