E-Bid Revisions in Standards

In accordance with the joint agreement between American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) about the implementation of the AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH), MDOT SHA revised several standards that are in the Book of Standards for Highway and Incidental Structures. The following standards were revised: MD 605.23, MD 605.26, MD 605.27, MD 605.28, MD 605.28-01, MD 605.31 and MD 605.32. These revised standards pertain to w-beam traffic barriers and are available online. These standards apply to all projects that have been let (i.e., bid open) since December 31, 2017. Prospective bidders: Note this revision.

eMaryland Marketplace Advantage

MDOT SHA posts project links for eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) in this Contractors Information Center (CIC). This makes it easier for contractors to find project information on eMMA. As of 2016 MDOT SHA no longer posts actual pre-bid documents for the advertisements, addenda and project quantities on the CIC. These documents are now on eMMA for each project link provided. The last addendum with revised quantities will have the all-inclusive list of items in the contract.
