Call 001 612187-134319The project involves the design-build replacement of Bridge C-13-038 over State Route 116 (Chicopee Street) in District 2, Massachusetts, under procurement by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). This is a lump sum contract structured as a Best Value Design-Build (BVDB) procurement, where selection is based on the lowest overall value rating—the total price divided by the cumulative technical score. The scope encompasses full civil, structural, traffic, stormwater, environmental, and utility coordination, including demolition of the existing bridge, new construction, temporary traffic control, public outreach, asbestos inspection and testing, and invasive species management. All unit prices are defined as all-inclusive, covering design, engineering, project management, quality control, equipment, transportation, installation, utilities, insurance, bonds, and warranty. The contract requires submission of both a technical proposal capped at 40 pages and a separate price proposal via the Bid Express platform, with a mandatory 5% bid bond. The technical evaluation is weighted 65% toward the design-build technical approach and 35% toward project management and coordination, with strict pass/fail gates for submission compliance, proper organization, and bid bond submission. The project must be completed within 2,039 calendar days from the anticipated Notice to Proceed date of December 8, 2026, with adjustments allowed if the completion date falls between December 1 and March 15. MassDOT mandates strict adherence to state laws, including MGL Chapter 149A (public construction labor standards), Chapter 268A (conflict of interest), and Chapter 30, §39M1/2 and §151/2 (procurement compliance). The contractor must implement a comprehensive Quality Control System with dedicated full-time managers for design, construction, and fabrication oversight, including independent oversight at fabrication plants beyond the fabricator’s own program. Non-conformance reports must be mitigated through defined procedures. Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity compliance is required, with firms of 50 or more employees and contracts over $50,000 needing an approved affirmative action plan on file with MassDOT. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation must be actively pursued. The contractor is responsible for all bonding, including performance and payment bonds for the full contract amount, and must comply with insurance and risk management standards. All documentation, including escrowed proposal materials, must be certified as complete and used solely
