Broad St. Richmond, VA 23219 Dear Commissioner Whirley: This Conceptual Proposal to add capacity to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT) is submitted by Skanska Infrastructure Development Inc. (Skanska ID), on behalf of the Hampton Roads Crossings consortium (HRC). It is an Unsolicited Proposal in accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia PPTA Implementation Guidelines and pursuant to House Bill 402 of the 2010 Session of the General Assembly of Virginia (HB402). The HRC consortium currently comprises Skanska ID, Kiewit Infrastructure Co. (Kiewit), Skanska USA Civil Southeast (Skanska Civil), Weeks Marine, Inc. (Weeks), and Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB). If ultimately successful in entering into an Interim and/or Comprehensive Agreement for this project then it is our intent that Skanska ID, along with one or more other sponsors, would form a special purpose vehicle (SPV), to execute such agreement. The SPV would also enter into a design-build contract with a construction Joint Venture formed by Kiewit, Skanska Civil and Weeks, with PB as lead designer. Our assumptions for financing the HRBT expansion include possible federal assistance through direct loans, credit support or tax exemptions. We enclose a cashier’s check in the sum of $10,000 for the Department’s first phase review and acknowledge that a further $40,000 will be payable should our proposal be advanced to the 4th stage of the review process. As required by the PPTA Guidelines, we have supplied under cover of this letter 20 hard copies and 1 electronic copy (see note) of our conceptual proposal; once this proposal has passed the quality control review, further hard copies will be provided to all affected jurisdictions. We have identified the following to receive such copies: • • • • • • Please note that we have received consent from the Office of the Secretary for Transportation for certain information within our conceptual proposal to be withheld from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. A copy of this consent is enclosed with this letter. For ease of reference, we have set out this conceptual proposal generally using the structure and tab numbering requested in the PPTA Implementation Guidelines. The person authorized to act on behalf of the consortium and to whom correspondence should be addressed is: Mark Lemon Email: [email protected] Telephone: 571 217 7029 Facsimile: 703 340 1201 We look forward to working with you to develop this project and we are ready to attend any meetings or to make presentations of our proposal, as you may require.
