This Architectural Permit Set document, prepared for Queen Anne's County Department of Parks and Recreation in Maryland, provides the detailed design and permitting documentation for construction of a 900-square-foot comfort station at White Marsh Park in Centreville, Maryland. The project involves electronic bids due January 15, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. local time, with a pre-bid meeting and site visit scheduled for December 17, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. The comfort station will be constructed as a split-face concrete masonry unit structure with specified mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, including a duplex grinder pump system, standing seam metal roof in Hartford Green finish, Kawneer 601T system windows, and aluminum storefront doors with Vitro Solarban 60 glazing. The contractor must obtain all building and trade permits within 21 days of Notice to Proceed, with a total contract duration of 180 calendar days to Substantial Completion and an additional 30 calendar days to Final Completion. Questions from prospective bidders are due December 31, 2025 at 4:00 p.m., and bids must remain open for 60 days following opening.

Pricing terms require bid security of 5 percent of the total bid amount, with Performance and Payment Bonds of 100 percent of contract price required for contracts exceeding $100,000. Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with a minimum of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate coverage is mandatory. Liquidated damages are assessed at $500 per calendar day for delays beyond the specified completion dates, with contract time adjustments for permit delays capped at 30 calendar days maximum without additional compensation. The project is not federally funded and therefore not subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements. Excluded from the contractor's scope are well installation, primary and secondary electrical service conductors, transformer installation, trail and culvert installation, and grading permit fees, all of which remain the County's responsibility. The award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, and local vendor preference does not apply because not all project funds are County funds.
