Project Summary Accelerate Maryland Partners (“AM Partners”) has been selected by MDOT to be the exclusive Developer responsible

for the Predevelopment Work for the American Legion Bridge I-270 to I-70 Relief Plan. Phase South of the Plan (the "Project") comprises the design, construction, financing, tolling of express

lanes, operations and maintenance of over 14 miles of heavily travelled highway in Maryland, from South of the American Legion Bridge along I-495 to the I-370/I-270 interchange along I-270.

AM Partners’ anticipates delivering the design & construction of Phase South in 2 sections, the section of the Project from I-495 from the vicinity of the George Washington Memorial Parkway to I-270 ("Phase South A"); and I-270 from I-495 to I-370 ("Phase South B"), together "Phase South".

AM Partners plan to issue a Request for Qualification (“RFQ”) to solicit statements of qualifications (“SOQ) from individual firms or teams (“Respondents”) interested in serving as a contractor to the Developer for the design and construction (the “D&C Contractor”) of a section(s) of Phase South.

The RFQ will represent the first phase in the process for the selection of a D&C Contractor for each of Phase South A and Phase South B. The Developer intends to shortlist Respondents to the RFP phase with two (2) separate, (but broadly concurrent) D&C procurement processes, one for Phase South A and one for Phase South B.

A Historic Effort to Reduce Congestion for Millions of Marylanders

AM Partners Approach will Deliver an Improved Drive

AM Partners team members are part of the Maryland community - we are invested in Maryland's progress and deeply appreciate the Project's goals and challenges.

Accelerate Maryland Partners will:

Accelerate project delivery with experienced partners, resources and personnel;

Accelerate congestion relief, giving people more time with their families;

Accelerate technological advancement through innovation.

AM Partners commitment to the Maryland community is to:

Provide a new American Legion Bridge + bike and pedestrian path across the bridge.

Buses, motorcycles and vehicles with three or more passengers will be able to use the new lanes free of charge.

Existing general-purpose lanes throughout the corridor will be retained, remaining free for use by all motorists.

Focus on safety during construction including funding for Vision Zero Safety Improvements across Phase South.

Local community partnerships with small, disadvantaged, minority, women and veteran-owned businesses, union and local contractor involvement, engagement with local community organizations and educational institutions.

The Project improvements will transform overloaded interstates, remove overflow traffic from the local roads and allow people to reach their destinations faster.

Phase South involves the design and construction of managed lanes in Maryland covering approximately a ~14-mile section of the I-495 HOV/HOT Lanes from the vicinity of the George Washington Memorial Parkway (“GWMP”), south of the Potomac River to the interchange between I-270 and I-370 and is expected to be delivered in two sections.

Approximately 6 miles that covers I-495 from the vicinity of the GWMP to I-270, including the American Legion Bridge (“ALB”), comprising:

• The addition of two HOT lanes in each direction of I-495 from south of the GWMP in Virginia, across ALB, and extends north to I-270, west of MD-187;

• The full replacement of the ALB;• A shared-use path for bike and pedestrians across the

ALB;• The addition of 26 lane-miles of highway, and

rehabilitation / conversion of 66 lane-miles of existing highway; and

• Four major interchanges at GWMP, Clara Barton/MacArthur, River Road/Cabin John, and I-495/I-270.

Phase South BPhase South A

Project Phases

Approximately 8 miles that covers the remainder of Phase South on I-270 from I-495 East spur to I-370 interchange, comprising:• A new single HOT lane and conversion of the existing

HOV lane into a HOT lane, resulting in a two-lane HOT managed lanes network in each direction;

• 16 new lane-miles of highway, and rehabilitation / conversion of 96 lane-miles of existing highway; and

• Two major interchanges at I-270 east spur and I-370, and eight minor interchanges.

an interface agreement between the TTMS contractor and the selected D&C Contractor; and Specifications will be made available for location, sizing of gantries, electronic tolling equipment.

Environmental Status FHWA and the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (“MDOT SHA”) have identified

Alternative 9: Phase 1 South as the new Recommended Preferred Alternative (“RPA”) for the I-495 and I-270 Managed Lane Study (“MLS”).

The new RPA focuses solely on building a new ALB and delivering two HOT managed lanes in each direction on Phase 1 South with no action at this time on I-495 east of the I-270 eastern spur.

In late summer 2021, FHWA and MDOT SHA will issue a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“SDEIS”) for Alternative 9: Phase 1 South for public and agency comment.

As shown in Figure 1 below, and consistent with Alternative 9 in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“DEIS”) published in July 2020, the RPA, Alternative 9: Phase 1 South, proposes:— Adding two HOT managed lanes in each direction from the GWMP in Virginia to east of MD 187 on I-495.— Adding one HOT managed lane and converting the existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane into a HOT

managed lane on I-270 from I-495 to north of I-370 and on the I-270 eastern spur from east of MD 187 to I-270,resulting in a network of two HOT managed lanes in each direction.

A Final Environmental Impact Statement (“FEIS”)/Record of Decision ("ROD") is anticipated in Spring 2022.
