The Maryland Department of Transportation has developed an indefinite quantity contract aimed at providing architectural and engineering services to the Maryland Port Administration (MPA) for the Port of Baltimore. This contract is structured to cover a wide range of engineering tasks, including the engineering of waterfront structures, asset management, preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) packages, conducting engineering investigations, and offering construction support. The plan is to award up to three consultant contracts with a cumulative value of $20 million over a five-year span. The primary focus is to enhance and maintain the infrastructure associated with port operations, ensuring it meets current and future demands. The scope of work under this contract is comprehensive. It includes asset management data collection, condition inspections, and assessments; designing new waterfront structures and renovating existing ones; developing designs for port assets related to marine terminal operations; and recommending solutions for the repair or replacement of waterfront structures, pavements, utilities, and stormwater management systems. Additionally, landside and underwater inspections, environmental permitting, modernization evaluations, and preparation of contract documents form part of the tasks. The contracted services will also extend to project management, including schedule and cost management, and providing post-award construction support, such as reviewing submittals and requests for information (RFIs). Furthermore, expert witness testimony may be required. The contract is set to be performed primarily within facilities servicing the Port of Baltimore over a period of five years from the date of the award.
