Description:
The objective of this project is to provide a continuation of engineering, computer software support, and development service for PennDOT's BRADD Engineering Software. PennDOT's BRADD Engineering Software is engineering software developed for PennDOT to automate the bridge design process from problem definition through contract drawing development. BRADD combines and automates design, analysis and drafting process for specific types of simple span bridges. The software provides a user friendly menu driven input, numerous application design programs, and drawing generation built around Bentley's MicroStation CADD (Computer Aided Drafting and Design) technology to enable an engineer to design and produce scaled contract drawings automatically for simple span bridges. The services to be provided by this project must supplement and assist PennDOT personnel in supporting the BRADD Engineering Software services and maintenance. In addition, the Selected Contractor may be required to work with the contractor who currently maintains the BRADD Engineering Software. This project will address the needed support, maintenance, modifications, and changes to PennDOT's BRADD Engineering Software due to the ever-changing technical design criteria (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specifications and PennDOT's design manuals and specifications), PennDOT's design standards (Bureau of Project Delivery Standards for Bridge Design - BD Standards) and PennDOT's construction standards (Bureau of Project Delivery Standards for Roadway Construction - RC Standards). The Selected Contractor must provide personnel with Pennsylvania Professional Engineer (PE) license familiar with bridge design and plan preparation and personnel capable of revising, modifying, and developing program source code, user documentation, software documentation, and other requirements specified in the tasks described in the RFP.
