RDA Issues Request for Qualifications for Design Services for Gary Transit Hub

The Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA) says it invites qualified firms or teams to submit statements of qualifications to provide architectural and design services for a new multi-modal rail station and associated parking garage in downtown Gary. “The selected firm will complete final design, environmental clearance, and advanced engineering to deliver a modern, ADA-accessible, multimodal transit hub. The revitalized station will replace the deteriorated Adam Benjamin Metro Center with a safe, efficient regional node serving commuter rail, local and intercity bus, and regional trail and first/last mile networks as a single, integrated multimodal facility. This project will be led by RDA leadership with the assistance of a set of existing consultants. The RDA is requesting qualifications for technical services to supplement existing team expertise. The City of Gary is a key stakeholder and will be an active participant in all process flows of this project; including, selection of Architect, design reviews, and milestone approvals,” a news release said.
