Upon motion by Member Samuel D. Snead and seconded by Member Maricela Cordova, the proposed changes to the Master Trust Agreement to be executed through a springing amendment process was unanimously approved.
UPDATE – CONSOLIDATED TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (CTP) PROCESS AND ADDITIONS
Ms. Jennifer Stump updated the MDTA Board on the Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) process and additions to the capital program. She explained that every year the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) releases the CTP, presenting MDTA’s ongoing and new capital projects for a six-year period (the current year, the upcoming budget year, and the four succeeding planning years) for all MDTA facilities. Ms. Stump explained that after approval by the MDTA Board, the Draft CTP is presented to local elected officials and citizens in September through November throughout Maryland for review and comment. It is then revised and submitted, after MDTA Board approval, as the Final CTP as part of the Governor’s budget to the Maryland General Assembly in January. This process is required by statute and applies to MDTA as well as the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) modes. She further explained that the CTP is separated into three parts, (1) Construction Program - Major projects, (2) Development and Evaluation (D&E) Program - Major projects, and (3) System Preservation - Minor Projects. Major capital projects are listed individually; minor projects are grouped and shown by category of work (e.g., environmental, highway preservation, safety improvements). The Fiscal Year 2026-2031 Final CTP includes four new projects. (1) Chesapeake Bay Water Quality Restoration; (2) Fort McHenry Tunnel utility Rooms Electrical and Structural Rehabilitation; (3) NetApp Unified Storage Hardware Replacement; and (4) Bay Bridge Suspension Span Anchorage Concrete and navigation Lighting Rehabilitation.
UPDATE – KEY BRIDGE REBUILD
Mr. James Harkness and Mr. Brian Wolfe updated the MDTA Board on the progress of design and reconstruction efforts for the Francis Scott Key Bridge Rebuild.
They explained that Notice-to-Proceed to the Kiewit progressive design-build (PDB) team was issued in September 2024. The PDB team and MDTA’s project team have been working collaboratively to advance the design of the complex bridge structure. The Proof of Concept (15% design) for the cable-stayed bridge design was submitted in January 2025, establishing the bridge type, overall span layout, and aesthetic direction for the new bridge. The design progressed to 30% level in March 2025. Over the summer months design progressed through 50% with 70% design scheduled to be completed by mid-November 2025. Pre-construction efforts have also progressed in the field, with soil investigations on land and in the Patapsco River. The geotechnical efforts allow designers to characterize the foundation conditions which informs pile design and test pile program development.
