Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1) Comprehensive Roadway Design Professional engineering license required. Work includes: Firms interested in this category must establish a team of experts capable of performing all of the work required to complete a road design project. This typically includes engineering, design, surveys, investigations, studies, and calculations necessary for preparation of plans, specifications, and construction estimate (PS&E package) for construction bid letting. Projects vary in size from multi-million-dollar, complex, full facility reconstructions to small projects with minor complexity. The work required to accomplish this may include, but is certainly not limited to: cost benefit analysis on alternatives; topographic and cadastral surveying; engineering of roadway alignment and grade and cross-section features; analysis and design of hydraulic, geotechnical, materials, traffic, and environmental features; right-of-way design; determination of quantities; development of construction traffic control plans; estimating; public, regulatory, and local agency coordination; development of environmental documents in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); and overall advanced project management. Services may also include rightof-way acquisition; and reviewing and checking of submitted shop drawings and design related to construction support.; 2) Bridges & Structures: Professional engineering license required. Work includes: Firms interested in this category must establish a team of experts capable of performing all of the work required to complete a highway bridge replacement or rehabilitation project. This typically includes engineering, design, surveys, investigations, studies, and calculations necessary for preparation of plans, specifications, and construction estimate (PS&E package) for construction bid letting. Projects vary in size from multi-million-dollar, complex new structures to small bridge rehabilitation projects with minor complexity. The work required to accomplish this generally includes, but is certainly not limited to: engineering, analysis, and design of steel and concrete superstructures, pile bents, drilled shafts, solid piers, and abutments; seismic design; cost benefit analysis on alternatives; topographic and cadastral surveying; engineering of roadway alignment and grade and cross-section features; analysis and design of hydraulic, geotechnical, materials, traffic, and environmental features; right-of-way design; determination of quantities; development of construction traffic control plans; estimating; public, regulatory, and local agency coordination; development of environmental documents in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); and overall advanced project management. Structures are to be designed in accordance with the current AASHTO Specifications for Highways and Bridges and the procedures outlined in the Department’s Design Manual(s). Services to include all detailing (except shop drawings), the determination of all quantities and plans & specifications, and may include right-of-way acquisition; and reviewing and checking of submitted shop drawings and design related to construction support.; 3) Traffic & Safety: Professional engineering license required. Work includes: This category of service consists of comprehensive design of stand-alone Traffic Engineering projects. This typically includes engineering, design, surveys, investigations, studies, and calculations necessary for preparation of plans, specifications, and construction estimate (PS&E package) for construction bid letting. Projects vary in size and typically include signals, roundabouts, intelligent transportation systems, roadway lighting, and roadway signing. Depending on the size of the project, the work required to accomplish this may include: cost benefit analysis on alternatives; topographic and cadastral surveying; engineering of roadway alignment and grade and cross-section features; analysis and design of hydraulic, geotechnical, materials, traffic, and environmental features; right-of-way design; determination of quantities; development of construction traffic control plans; estimating; public, regulatory, and local agency coordination; development of environmental documents in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); overall advanced project management; and may include right-of-way acquisition. The design must conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, AASHTO guidelines, and be performed in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Department’s Traffic Engineering Manual, Road Design Manual and other manuals.
