Bentley Systems, the infrastructure engineering software company, has announced that it has been selected as part of a multi-award Request for Proposal by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) for state-wide civil design solutions. The contract award extends Bentley’s long-standing relationship with PennDOT to advance project delivery. PennDOT has transitioned to Bentley’s OpenRoads 3D design software and ProjectWise for CADD data management to support roadway, bridge, drainage, traffic and geotechnical engineering.
The acceleration of infrastructure projects with federal funding provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is challenging DOTs and their engineering firm ecosystems to expand capacity, including through purposeful inclusion of smaller business enterprises. In the new PennDOT contract, Bentley has proudly partnered with Pennsylvania firms Cedarville Engineering Group, llc (CEG) of Pottstown and Honor Engineer Company of Harrisburg.
Kelly Barber, P.E., Chief of the Engineering Automation and Services Division, PennDOT, said, “As the Department moves toward being platform inclusive, we are looking forward to the opportunities advancing technologies will bring to the Department and our business partners, now and into the future.”
