The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) has released its request for proposals (RFP) inviting design-build teams to submit proposals for rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge and reconnecting the Interstate 695 Baltimore Beltway.
The MDTA is seeking proposals from qualified teams that advance the project’s goals of collaboration, schedule, safety, quality, cost and aesthetics. The authority is using a progressive design-build process that calls for a project designer and builder to work side by side, resulting in greater efficiencies, state officials said in a press release.
The bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River March 26 after it was struck by a massive cargo ship.
MDTA is seeking collaboration among the project team, local communities and stakeholders, ensuring open communication and inclusive partnership opportunities, particularly for small and disadvantaged businesses.
The project scope of work and accelerated timeline will require a substantial amount of skilled labor to complete the construction expeditiously, safely and reliably, state officials said.
Important dates in rebuilding the bridge include:• Proposals are due June 24;• Project team selection will be done in mid- to late summer; and• Project completion is slated for fall 2028.
