The project involves repairing the timber pile supported deck and adjacent concrete gravity wall around the 88 Black Falcon building, requiring expertise across multiple engineering disciplines including Waterfront Engineering, Civil, Port Operations, Structural, Transportation, Environmental, Geotechnical, Cost Estimating, Construction Phasing, Climate Resiliency, and Sustainable Design. A mandatory Consultant Briefing is scheduled for May 2, 2025, via Zoom, with proposals due on June 5, 2025, at 12:00 Noon through Bid Express. Consultants must submit a comprehensive qualification package demonstrating their technical capabilities, experience with similar maritime infrastructure projects, and ability to meet the complex engineering requirements.

The contract will be structured as a work order-based agreement, with individual work order fees negotiated separately and a total contract value not exceeding $1,000,000.00. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned in the documentation, consultants must agree to Massport's standard work order agreement terms and demonstrate the ability to obtain requisite insurance coverage. Submissions must be addressed to Luciana Burdi, Director of Capital Programs and Environmental Affairs, and any proposal not received by the specified deadline will be summarily rejected as non-responsive. The procurement appears open to qualified consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in maritime and infrastructure engineering, with an emphasis on comprehensive technical capabilities across multiple disciplines. Potential respondents should carefully review the Supplemental Information Package and be prepared to showcase their technical proficiency, past project experience, and innovative approaches to seawall rehabilitation and maritime infrastructure design.
