Why a New Crossing is Needed Development of additional border capacity for Windsor-Detroit is a key priority for U.S. and Canadian governments, as well as private sector shippers, carriers and manufacturers. Goal is to provide a safe, efficient and secure end-to-end border crossing system directly connecting I-75 in Detroit and Highway 401 in Windsor. The new publicly-owned bridge will ensure border crossing capacity and redundancy at this vital trade crossing. Additional capacity will stimulate long-term economic growth.

Project Collaboration 20
WDBA Introduction and Overview The WDBA is a not-for-profit Canadian Crown corporation that reports to Parliament through the Minister Infrastructure and Communities. The WDBA, in collaboration with MDOT and FHWA, will manage the procurement process for the design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of the new bridge through a public-private partnership (P3). The WDBA will also oversee the work of the public-private partnership, manage the concession agreement and payments as well as set and collect tolls. 21
WDBA is the Project Authority for the delivery of the entire Project, and is responsible for: Directing all project activities Hiring advisors Flowing of funds WDBA Responsibilities Working closely and collaboratively with other government departments and agencies in both the U.S. and Canada WDBA will also have the contractual relationship with the successful Project Co.
Public-Private Partnership (P3) The new bridge, plazas and U.S. interchange will be built using a public-private partnership (P3) model. P3s provide greater value for money and more time certainty than the traditional procurement method. The P3 model is a contractually binding commitment by the private sector to deliver infrastructure at a pre-determined price and fixed date with meaningful penalties in case of contract defaults. This provides financial certainty to the WDBA, our governments, and to taxpayers. It also offers guarantees that the infrastructure will be well maintained for a long period of time. The private partner will design, build, finance, operate, and maintain the project for a specified period of time.
P3 Procurement The WDBA has launched a two-stage procurement process to select a private sector partner. Request for Qualifications (RFQ), which began July 20, 2015 (response deadline was October 9 th ). Request for Proposals (RFP) will be released in early 2016. Positive response to Introductory Project Meetings and Industry Days conducted in August. 24

Order of Magnitude for Gordie Howe International Bridge Approximately half a million tons of concrete will be used to construct the bridge. This equates to 25,000 cement truck loads. If all trucks were to be lined up end to end, it would equal the distance between Windsor, Ontario and Chicago, Illinois. Approximately 22,000 tons of steel will be needed for the new bridge. Only steel produced in the United States and Canada will be used for the project. Up to 5,000 tons of bridge cables will be used. This equates to the weight of approximately 3,500 mid-size cars. (All values are approximate and subject to the P3)

M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Approximately $220 million (including $20 Million for operations) Private, Philanthropic and Local Government Funding totaling $109 Million Public entity contributions to project Kresge Foundation donated over $35 Million Station sponsorship ($3 M each) and naming rights sold Partnership funding (Fed $ to streetcar and M-1 raised public funds) MDOT sponsored $62.5 Million in road reconstruction and bridge replacements FTA TIGER 1 and TIGER 6 grants totaling $37.2 Million New Market Tax Credits totaling $10 Million MDOT transportation enhancement and CMAQ grants totaling $10 Million Fundraising sources include corporations, Downtown Development Authority, DMC and Henry Ford hospitals, Wayne State University and Wayne County City of Detroit road rehabilitation totaling $500,000
M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Innovations: Private sector (M-1 Rail) is leading the project with support from MDOT, US-DOT, and City of Detroit. Streetcar vehicles to utilize battery powered technology to eliminate overhead catenary system for portions of the route. Extensive utility coordination during design to mitigate conflicts including LIDAR survey of manholes to capture existing conditions and exact locations. Partnered with DTE Energy to install duct bank along route for future growth Installing conduit and signal controllers to accommodate future ITS expansion.
Goals: M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Shape Future Land Use by building Infrastructure First Create foot traffic for shops and restaurants Increase property values and tax revenues Rekindle density in and around Downtown and Midtown Promote a Livable, Walkable, Vibrant Downtown Create jobs, Access, Mobility for Current and new residents
