The County of Monterey, Resource Management Agency (RMA) has identified a need for construction management services for the Nacimiento Lake Drive Bridge Replacement Project (Project). The County solicited proposals from qualified contractors through Request for Proposals (RFP) #10757 for construction management services for the Project, in accordance with the specifications set forth in the RFP. MNS Engineers, Inc. (MNS) was selected for their expertise and capabilities necessary to provide these services through a competitive selection process in accordance with County policies and State laws under RFP #10757. The services provided by MNS shall include engineering inspection services, environmental services, material testing and surveying services necessary to verify the Project is constructed as specified in the Project plans and specifications
The Nacimiento Lake Drive Bridge Replacement Project (Project), County Bridge No. 449 will construct a new bridge on Nacimiento Lake Drive over the San Antonio River. The existing bridge is one (1) lane and was determined to be seismically deficient and is programmed to be replaced under the State Seismic Retrofit Program.
The Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with MNS will allow for construction management for the Project in a total amount not to exceed $1,234,059 beginning September 29, 2020 for a period of three (3) years to September 29, 2023, with the option to extend the PSA for two (2) additional one (1) year period(s).

The total estimated cost of the Project, including design engineering, environmental, right-of-way, utilities and construction is $10,860,352. The County has secured FHWA funding for the identified Project as outlined in Attachment B, Project Budget. The Project is largely funded (88.53%) by FHWA Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds in the amount of $8,478,293, and State Seismic funds (11.47%) in the amount of $969,462.
