RFP - Clearwater Junction Rest Area Rehab

The Montana Department of Transportation is seeking a qualified engineering/architectural consulting firm to develop construction plans and specifications for the Clearwater Junction Rest Area (and adjacent MCS Scale Site). The firm will first evaluate whether rehabilitation or full reconstruction is more appropriate, then produce detailed design documents that meet all state, federal, and ADA requirements, and may be retained for the subsequent construction contract. Evaluation will be based on team qualifications, project approach, and past performance, with a maximum five‑page narrative and required appendices. Submission is electronic via the Montana State File Transfer Service, and the award decision is scheduled for early November. • Scope includes feasibility evaluation, design of civil, structural, water‑sewage, and site‑access improvements. • Must hold a Montana professional engineering license and perform at least 50 % of the work as the prime consultant. • Deliverables include full construction‑ready plans, specifications, and public‑involvement documentation.
