Summary of Specifications:
1) INTRODUCTION: Through this Request for Bids (RFB), the Wayne County Airport Authority (Airport Authority) hereby invites businesses that meet the qualifications set forth herein to submit Bids for providing construction services to perform routine preventative bridge maintenance at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). Routine bridge maintenance reduces the effects of environmental processes acting on the structure and keeps minor problems from becoming major and costly repairs. 2) GENERAL INFORMATION: In August 2002, the Public Airport Authority Act, MCL 259.108-259.125 (“Act 90”) transferred the operational jurisdiction of DTW from the County of Wayne, Michigan to the Wayne Airport Authority.

The Airport Authority oversees the operation at DTW and YIP Airports including all parking, roadway, bridge, and other landside facilities. As one of the largest domestic and international airports in the United States, DTW has a major role in the future of southeast Michigan and the national airport system. YIP serves as a reliever airport, primarily serving cargo and general aviation activity. The Airport Authority is responsible for maintaining all bridges within its jurisdiction at DTW for use by the traveling public and others using the roads and bridges at DTW.
