Solicitation 607349-135382 is a Best Value Design-Build project issued by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division for the replacement of the Route 3 bridge over the North River in Norwell, Pembroke, and Marshfield. The scope of work encompasses the demolition of the existing bridge and the construction of a new facility, including geometric modifications to Route 3, superelevation improvements, and the installation of new roadside and median barriers. Additional requirements include the design and construction of drainage system modifications, wetland mitigation areas, and the restoration of disturbed areas. The project is subject to strict environmental time-of-year restrictions, prohibiting in-water work from February 15 to July 15 and limiting work to dewatered cofferdams between September 1 and November 15. The procurement process requires the submission of separate technical and price proposals by October 30, 2026, with price proposals submitted via Bid Express. The contract is a lump sum agreement, though proposers must provide individual unit costs for items such as highway work, reinforced concrete excavation, and soil disposal. Key performance requirements include maintaining two lanes of traffic in each direction throughout all construction phases and ensuring a specific marine clearance envelope for the North River. Selection is based on a combination of pass/fail responsiveness, qualitative technical evaluations, and price. Proposers must also comply with MassDOT Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges 2026 Edition, provide a comprehensive Quality Management Plan, and adhere to strict organizational conflict of interest and civil rights compliance standards.
