PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERSTATE 59/INTERSTATE 20 Lauderdale County, Mississippi MDOT Project Number DB/IM-0059-03(099)/108158-301000 DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT NOTICE OF INTENT The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) intends to solicit proposals from parties interested in providing design and construction services necessary to upgrade lighting within the approximate Meridian city limits, install Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructure, and to complete the widening, rehabilitation, or replacement of multiple existing bridges on Interstate 59/Interstate 20 in Lauderdale County in Mississippi. Modifications to the bridge or the roadway below may be required in order to provide adequate vertical clearance at certain locations. Other work included may involve bridge demolition, roadway design, hydro-demolition, girder replacement, joint replacement, installation of retaining wall systems, minor repairs, and associated roadway work. The Mississippi Transportation Commission (Commission) will use a two-step process to select a Design- Build team with which to execute a contract for this Project. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) represents the first step in the process. The purpose of the RFQ is to solicit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from Responders interested in providing the requested services necessary to complete the Project. After evaluation and scoring of responsive SOQs, the Commission intends to short-list the most qualified Responders. The Short-listed Responders will be provided a Request for Proposals (RFP) and will be asked to submit a Volume 1 – Technical Proposal and a Volume 2 – Contract Price Proposal. A Design-Build team will then be selected for the Project utilizing the best-value selection method. This NOTICE OF INTENT is issued to allow potential Responders an opportunity to form Design-Build teams in anticipation of the issuance of the RFQ. No formal submittal is required at this time. The RFQ is anticipated to be issued via the MDOT Design-Build and Special Projects website (https://mdot.ms.gov/portal/design_build_projects) in fall 2020. .

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA NORTHERN DIVISION BLACK WARRIOR RIVERKEEPER, INC., ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) ) UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ) ENGINEERS; JON J. CHYTKA, DISTRICT ) COMMANDER, MOBILE DISTRICT; ) NO. ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ) TRANSPORTATION; and JOHN R. ) COOPER, DIRECTOR, ALDOT, ) ) Defendants. ) ) COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF Plaintiff Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Inc., by and through its undersigned counsel, files this Complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief, stating as follows: INTRODUCTION 1. This action challenges violations of Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act ("Clean Water Act" or "CWA"), as well as the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ("NEPA"), in connection with Defendant United States Army Corps of Engineers' ("the Corps') September 30, 2013 decision to issue a permit for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States ("Section 404 permit") for the construction of a 1.86- mile segment of the Northern Beltline near Palmerdale, Alabama. When completed, the proposed 52-mile, six-lane Northern Beltline would be a new controlled-access highway between Interstate 459 in Bessemer, Alabama and Interstate 59 in Trussville, Alabama. 2. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires the Corps to issue permits only for those projects that represent the least damaging practicable alternative that will satisfy the project's purpose and need. In determining the least damaging practicable alternative, the Corps must evaluate a number of environmental and economic factors pursuant to CWA regulations and must look at the entire project. 3. The Section 404 permit issued for the Northern Beltline is an improper and illegal segmentation that prevents an objective look at the entire project's impacts and alternatives.

Mississippi Department of Transportation: a Review of Departmental Accountability and Transparency
#581 Joint Legislative Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review (PEER) Report to the Mississippi Legislature Mississippi Department of Transportation: A Review of Departmental Accountability and Transparency Although the Mississippi Department of Transportation should improve its accountability and transparency, it has been proactive in taking steps in the right direction, including documenting some of its decisionmaking processes and assessing the state’s needs regarding highway construction and maintenance. MDOT conducts a well-developed assessment to show its transportation system needs; however, MDOT has not yet fully developed performance measures for all of its system goals so that system-wide progress can be tracked over time. In terms of efficiency, MDOT has some efficiency-related indicators; however, relative to other states, MDOT has room for improvement in measuring departmental efficiency. The best measures of internal efficiency would focus on operations under MDOT’s control. MDOT has no department-wide effort to analyze its workforce in relation to its current and future workload. However, MDOT is in the process of creating and refining measures to track workload information for its 195 professional engineers. MDOT struggles to recruit and retain engineers due to the salary level being significantly less than what an engineer would earn at a private firm. As a result, MDOT contracts out many engineering functions due to lack of personnel or lack of in-house specialized skill sets (e. g., bridge design). According to MDOT staff and various studies, contracting out engineering work always costs more than performing those functions in-house. MDOT collects most of the data needed in order to select and prioritize projects based on need.
