I am currently working on a bridge that needs scuppers and I am looking for any direction on the calculations required for sizing, spacing and quantity.

The CalTrans website should have a design example.
It's been a long time since I designed scuppers but it's straight-forward.

All you need for this is the FHWA publication on drainage for bridges. Go to the FHWA website and look for the Hydraulic Engineering Circular (HEC).
They have about 5 examples for various conditions and locations.
