1. Project Description The SHA is seeking consultant assistance to perform bridge condition inspections for a variety of inspection types and structure configurations. SHA may award up to ten (10) open-ended, taskorder based contract(s) that may cover multiple projects for these services. The duration of each contract will not exceed five years. The total funding authority for all ten (10) contracts shall not exceed $60,000,000. SHA reserves the right to modify the number of contracts and the total funding authority as deemed appropriate based on complying with 23 CFR 172 and the Brooks Act. Consistent with competitive qualifications-based selection, a secondary qualifications-based selection will be employed for all task-order assignments. Awarded task-assignments will be negotiated as stand-alone assignments terminating when the task budget is exhausted, or the task time frame has expired, or the task has been completed. No minimum amount of work or funds is guaranteed under these contracts. The contracts will be administered by SHA’s Office of Structures. The contracts will be funded with State and Federal Funds. The services of this contract are expected to be performed statewide. Task assignments may be made to support other SHA Offices, the MDOT Transportation Secretary’s Office (TSO), any of the MDOT modes, or other agencies. Any tasks assigned under these contracts must be for services as outlined in the contract scope of work and in conformance with all contract terms and conditions and payment provisions.
