The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) is seeking proposals for the Bay Bridge Protection Project. The project involves the installation of protection structures to the piers closest to the main navigation spans of the Eastbound and Westbound Bay Bridges. The project will utilize the design-build contracting method and the "Competitive Sealed Proposals" procurement method. The selected design-builder will be responsible for completing all design and construction work in two phases: Phase IV Final Design and Phase V – Partnering during design and Construction. The project requires the design-builder to have experienced personnel qualified in various fields, including hydraulic design, scour analysis, stormwater management, and environmental management. The project also requires the design-builder to develop and implement a Quality Management Plan (QMP) and a Design Quality Control Plan (DQCP). Some key aspects of the project include: • Installation of protection structures to the piers closest to the main navigation spans • Design-build contracting method • Competitive Sealed Proposals procurement method • Two-phase project: Phase IV Final Design and Phase V – Partnering during design and Construction • Requirement for experienced personnel in various fields • Development and implementation of a Quality Management Plan (QMP) and a Design Quality Control Plan (DQCP)
