Panama Canal Announces
Best Value Proposal For Vehicular Crossing
Analysis
PANAMA – The Panama Canal Authority (ACP)
determined the “best value” proposal for the
analysis of a permanent vehicular crossing
on the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal
last week.
Group URS-COWI garnered the highest points
for its combined technical and price scores.
The new vehicular crossing will allow
uninterrupted ground transportation to cross
the Panama Canal on the Atlantic side via a
bridge or tunnel.
The ACP Contracting Officer will now examine
and validate the “best value” price proposal
and will also verify the contractor’s
qualifications pursuant to the established
ACP contracting regulations prior to
awarding the contract. Once the contract is
awarded and the order to proceed is issued,
URS-COWI will have 240 days to submit its
final plans and determine if the crossing
should be a bridge or a tunnel.
Companies like Moffat & Nichol, URS, TYPSA
and the Louis Berger Group have all shown an
interest in bidding with prices ranging from
us$943.000 to us$1.5 million.
URS Corporation is a leading provider of
engineering, construction and technical
services for public agencies and private
sector companies around the world. COWI is a
highly recognized engineering group from
