I-94 North-South Corridor design contract includes 24% DBE share

WisDOT recently signed a preliminary design contract with Milwaukee Transportation Partners for the I-94 North-South Corridor that includes a 24% share for DBE firms.

Last fall, WisDOT announced a 2009-2016 safety reconstruction plan for the I-94 North-South Corridor, a 35-mile freeway corridor stretching from the Mitchell Interchange area in Milwaukee to the Illinois state line. The recommended plan will improve safety, ease congestion and modernize this important transportation artery that handles more than 150,000 vehicles daily.

The preliminary design contract will focus on improvements in Milwaukee County, including the Mitchell Interchange, the WIS 119 Airport Spur and several service interchanges. The $17.5 million total includes $4.2 million of work to be performed by nine different DBE firms involved in the contract:

  • Abrazo Multicultural Marketing, Milwaukee
  • Daar Engineering, Milwaukee
  • Dixon & Company, Milwaukee
  • Edwards Engineering Consultants, Glendale
  • EMCS, Milwaukee
  • Gestra Engineering, Milwaukee
  • Haas Media, Milwaukee
  • Himalayan Consultants, Germantown
  • Martha Love, Association B, Milwaukee
