APPROVAL – CONTRACT AWARDS
• HT-3023-0000 – Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (BHT) Facility-Wide Signing Upgrades
Mr. Jeffrey Davis requested approval from the MDTA Board to execute Contract No. HT-3023 0000 – Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (BHT) Facility-Wide Signing Upgrades with McLean Contracting Company in the amount of $12,800,000.00. Mr. Davis explained that the work to be performed under this contract is located along the entire I-895 BHT facility including ramps and some approaches to I-895. The project will upgrade signing including new ground mounted signing, new cantilever and overhead signs and sign structures including entrance signs with Dynamic Message Signs (DMS). This project is located in Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Anne Arundel County, and Howard County. He further explained that this contract received a single bid and that the procurement officer made several efforts to increase awareness of the project through direct solicitation and extension of the bid due date to offer prospective bidders sufficient time to respond. A single bid was received from Mclean Contracting Company (McLean) and initially rejected due to issues with their Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) submittal. Mclean protested and was able to demonstrate they met the MBE goal and the rejection was overturned. The procurement officer then evaluated McLean and determined their bid is fair and reasonable and that the firm is qualified to complete the specialized work in the contract (such as the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) integrations and DMS signage). Upon motion by Member Jeffrey S. Rosen and seconded by Member Mario J. Gangemi, the Members unanimously approved Contract No. HT-3023-0000 – Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (BHT) Facility-Wide Signing Upgrades.
