shown on the attached terms of reference. Also, the proposals from Consultants includes the
option of including bridge toll facilities with this project.

Bids were received from eight Consulting firms for this work as shown in the attached Summary
of Proposals. As there are a number of specialties involved in a project of this nature each prime
engineering firm proposes to use a number of subconsultants for environmental, geotechnical,
and toll bridge design work.

All of the proposals received were from experienced and reputable firms who are fully capable
of completing this project.
