About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 for a contract opportunity issued by Maryland Environmental Service (MES) for aerial application of herbicide at dredged material facilities operated by MES in various counties throughout Maryland. The project (ID No. 1-26-5-13-5) requires aerial herbicide application services with a stated preference for helicopter application methods. The bid due date is September 4, 2025, at 1:00 PM, and all prospective bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum on their bid forms and include any cost impacts in their proposals.
The addendum specifically addresses one question from a potential bidder regarding the use of FAA Part 137-certified agricultural drones as an alternative to helicopter application. MES responded definitively that they will not consider agricultural drones as an alternative at this time, despite the bidder's claims of equivalent coverage with precise application, reduced drift, and minimal environmental impact. This addendum becomes part of the contract documents and serves to modify, explain, and correct the original solicitation documents. The document is signed by Qieon D. Graham, Procurement Administrator for MES.
