Data Room

READ ME:
The Hudson Tunnel Pre-Procurement Virtual Data Room represents project information at a single point in time, and which may no longer be current. The Pre-Procurement Virtual Data Room is not being updated and is not actively managed.

Please see “Procurement Opportunities” for access to information contained in Procurement Virtual Data Rooms.”

The Private Sector spoke, and we listened.

GDC has launched the Hudson Tunnel Pre-Procurement Virtual Data Room. The Private Sector told us that providing them a “jump start” on reviewing geotechnical and other important project data prior to the start of the formal procurement process would be helpful.

The Hudson Tunnel Pre-Procurement Virtual Data Room contains a significant amount of geotechnical data and other relevant information.

Providing the Private Sector with this information will help them inform the Hudson Tunnel Project’s future geotechnical investigation activities – allowing all parties, among other things, to better understand the complexities of the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades, reduce unknowns, and reduce risk.

The Private Sector commented on the proposed plan for future borings and suggested additional testing and locations for geotechnical investigations. The updated Phase 2 Geotechnical Boring Location Plans, as well as existing project data, are located in the Hudson Tunnel Pre-Procurement Virtual Data Room.

The Virtual Data Room is in addition to the substantial information available on the project’s website. Click here to access the virtual library.

The Private Sector can request access to the Hudson Tunnel Pre-Procurement Virtual Data Room by filling out the Access Request Form below.
