The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is seeking to enter into a task-order based contract for urgent inspection and design services for MBTA infrastructure systemwide with qualified, multi-disciplined engineering firms exhibiting a proven depth of experience and technical expertise in the inspection, design and construction rehabilitation/replacement of commuter rail, freight, light and heavy rail transit, highway, pedestrian and utility bridges; other structures, traction power; signals; track; and other disciplines for a multimodal public transportation agency. The selected consultant(s) will provide the necessary services to manage and coordinate the activities required to complete all tasks assigned under the contract for all phases of the Project, as deemed appropriate by the MBTA. Engineering services are expected to be primarily structurally related. However, additional expertise may be required in other disciplines including but not limited to architecture/building envelopes, civil, communications, electrical, environmental, fire life safety, mechanical, plumbing, signals, traction power, track, or any other discipline needed to address urgent infrastructure needs systemwide. It should be expected that scope of services will include, but not limited to, hands-on field inspection, structural assessment, incident investigation, stakeholder engagement, code review, historical assessment, repair/replacement design, cost estimating, scheduling, permitting, general project management services, and construction phase services. This project will give the MBTA the ability to quickly respond to urgent infrastructure needs systemwide with engineered solutions in order to maintain or restore safe operations. As such, the ability to secure these services and deploy consultant teams with minimal notice for a variety of short-term, time-sensitive situations is essential to the success of this contract.
