Acting on feedback received from the private sector during an extensive Request for Information (RFI) process over the past 18 months, Gateway Program Development Corporation (GDC) has launched a Virtual Data Room to provide potential bidders with important technical information about the Hudson Tunnel Project.

Currently in the pre-procurement design and environmental analysis phase, the Hudson Tunnel Project will construct a new passenger rail tunnel under the Hudson River between New Jersey and Penn Station New York and provide for the rehabilitation of the existing North River Tunnel without impacting the 450 commuter and intercity trains that use the existing tunnel each day.

The data room give private sector firms access to information not typically available until the formal procurement process. By making the technical information available now, firms can review existing data and propose locations for additional geotechnical investigation. Future borings will supplement the data obtained during Preliminary Engineering of the Hudson Tunnel Project, which will also be available. Historical geotechnical information from similar projects will also be available in the data room.

This approach is intended to save time during the upcoming procurement process by bringing forward some of the boring requests that would otherwise occur after issuance of a Request for Proposals.
