The project also included minor roadway work on both sides of the Potomac River, improvements to the campus infrastructure, and the demolition of the previous bridge. The Nice-Middleton Bridge Project was comprised of five (5) contracts. The five (5) contracts included in the Nice-Middleton Bridge Project were identified for federal financial assistance via a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan. DBE firm's utilization is monitored monthly and reported to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) semi-annually. A DBE firm's utilization is calculated by dividing the total dollars paid to DBE subcontractors by the total dollars expended for this Project.

Of the two, contracts AE-3050 - Nice Bridge Construction Management Inspection (CMI) Services attained 26.01% of the contract's 26.60% committed DBE goal, and 23.78% of AE-3051 - Nice Bridge Construction Management Inspection (CMI) Service's 26% DBE committed goal.
