Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is accepting proposals from consulting firms interested in conducting Pavement Condition Indexes (PCI’s) for airports in Montana. In general, the work included in this project will require Pavement Condition Indexes (PCI’s) at approximately 60 general aviation airports located throughout the state of Montana. For more specific objectives and requirements, see the attached Program Narrative. The Cut Bank airport is not included for field work (data collection) due to the lack of a required Project Specific Agreement (PSA) prior to this solicitation. However, MDT is planning on internal staff completing the field work at this airport. It is expected that the Consultant will be tasked with compiling/analyzing this data provided by MDT. The airports at Harlem, Poplar, and Wolf Point are included for field work/data collection. However, a PSA is required before the Consultant can perform any field work at these specific airports. If a PSA is not executed in time to meet the needs of this project, MDT will attempt to have internal staff collect the data instead of the Consultant. If that happens, it is expected that the Consultant will be tasked with compiling/analyzing this data provided by MDT. Please note that any field work performed by the Consultant inside the exterior boundaries of a Reservation require any and all necessary permits/licenses required by that specific Tribal entity.
