KB-3020-0000 Curtis Creek Drawbridge Rehabilitation and Resiliency Project

The State of Maryland, specifically Anne Arundel County, is seeking proposals for the KB-3020-0000 Curtis Creek Drawbridge Rehabilitation and Resiliency Project, a critical infrastructure maintenance initiative for the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA). The procurement focuses on comprehensive rehabilitation work for the Inner and Outer Loop drawbridges located along I-695 at the Francis Scott Key Bridge Facility. Specific project scope includes deck rehabilitation, superstructure improvements, and lighting system upgrades to ensure continued operational integrity of these transportation structures. The contract opportunity was posted on June 24, 2025, with proposals due by August 20, 2025, indicating a two-month window for potential bidders to prepare and submit comprehensive technical and financial proposals. The primary objective is to support MDTA's system preservation efforts by maintaining the structural and functional capabilities of these critical transportation infrastructure components.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the complex nature of bridge rehabilitation suggests that bidders will likely need significant engineering and construction expertise with demonstrated experience in transportation infrastructure projects. Potential respondents should anticipate robust qualifications requirements, potentially including specialized certifications in bridge rehabilitation, structural engineering, and transportation infrastructure restoration. The project's location within a critical transportation corridor implies that qualified contractors will need extensive experience with complex civil engineering projects, potentially with previous MDTA or Maryland Department of Transportation contract work. Although a specific budget range is not provided, infrastructure rehabilitation projects of this magnitude typically represent significant investment, potentially ranging from several million to tens of millions of dollars. Interested contractors should carefully review all technical specifications and be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in bridge rehabilitation, structural engineering, and infrastructure resiliency.
