EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR THE 4TH MAINLAND BRIDGE (“4MB”) PROJECT – 2019 (THIS IS THE FIRST IN A SIX-STAGE PROCESS)
BACKGROUND
On the instruction of the Governor of Lagos State, Nigeria, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the State Executive Council, the Lagos State Ministry of Works & Infrastructure invites interested consortia to submit an Expression of Interest (“EOI”) for the delivery of the proposed 4th Mainland Bridge (“4MB” or “the Project”), under a concession arrangement.
The Project is a recently proposed public-private-partnership transport infrastructure development, which includes the construction and operation of a greenfield tolled road and bridge with a design speed of 120 km/h, including the development of adjacent real estates. It aims to relieve severe congestion on the existing Third Mainland Bridge, while opening up new areas of the city for future development.
4MB is one of the priority solutions to relieve traffic and distribute social and economic growth across the State. The Project is aligned with the Lagos State Strategic Transport Master Plan and National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan which aims to raise Nigeria’s stock of infrastructure from the current 20 – 25% of GDP to at least 70% of GDP by 2043.
The Project will span a distance of about 38 kilometres, starting from Abraham Adesanya in Ajah, on the Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe corridor and traverse the North West towards the Lagoon shoreline of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway via Owutu/Isawo in Ikorodu.
The proposed project will be based on the agreed Baseline Design and Details prepared by the Technical Consultants on the Project.
Lagos State is Africa’s most significant sub-national government, boasting a GDP of $136 billion, which is bigger than the economies of 46 African countries. With a population size of 22 million, Lagos State is Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre and the most populous city on the African continent.
Lagos State intends to carry out a six-stage process to select a suitable Concessionaire to deliver the Project in line with international best practice. On receipt of all EOI submissions, Lagos State will issue a Request for Qualification (RFQ) to applicants, which will form “Stage 2” of the process. At the end of the RfP process, a preferred Bidder shall emerge who shall subsequently enter into a Concession Agreement with Lagos State Government over an agreed Concession Period for the execution of the Detailed Design and Construction, Funding, Operations and Maintenance of the Fourth Mainland Bridge.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Interested consortia should submit bound EOI documents duly paged and signed. EOIs are expected to be limited to a maximum of Ten (10) pages, for Stage 1.
The key EOI requirements include:
• Details of the consortium including the profile of each member.
• Contact person(s) and contact details.
• Experience in developing, financing and executing physical infrastructure projects in excess of U SS500 million.
• Details of local representatives, if any, where the consortium is comprised of international companies.

SUBMISSION OF EOI
The Closing Date for Submission of the EOI is Wednesday 18 December, 2019, by 5pm (Nigerian Time).
All EOIs should be emailed to 4MB@lagosstate.gov.ng and info@aec-group.org.
