Request for Proposals – Culvert Inventory Phase III RFP (BACTS-2602)

The Bangor Area Comprehensive Transportation System (BACTS) intends to develop a Capital Improvement and Asset Management Program using data from the 2025 BACTS Regional Culvert Inventory Summary Report and Geodatabase. The inventory assessed 386 culverts in the BACTS region, identifying structural and environmental conditions for roads and culverts, as well as upstream and downstream flows.

This phase will develop a prioritized framework for repairs, maintenance, and long-term asset management based on field data from the 386 culverts. The objective is to provide BACTS members with actionable recommendations and tools to address failing structures, manage blockages, and establish a phased capital investment plan for the infrastructure within realistic budget constraints to enhance regional resilience.
