About this file
This is Addendum No. 3 to a competitive sealed bid solicitation issued by the Maryland Environmental Service (MES) for on-call emergency response, coordination, remediation, and restoration services at Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI Marshall) and Martin State Airport. The addendum modifies the original contract documents and is effective for proposals due on May 27, 2026, at 1:00 PM. All prospective bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum on their bid forms, and any cost impacts associated with the supplemental requirements must be included in bid submissions.
The addendum introduces two critical supplemental requirements for contractors: BWI Security Requirements and BWI Insurance Requirements. Security requirements mandate that all contractor employees working in secured areas (airfield and passenger terminal) obtain valid airport-issued Security Identification Badges from the Maryland Aviation Administration, comply with 49 CFR 1542 Transportation Security Administration regulations, complete airfield driver training for vehicle operation, and maintain a report of authorized badge holders with specific documentation. Contractors must return all badges within 24 hours of contract end or employee termination, with potential fines of $1,000 per person per occurrence for non-compliance. Insurance requirements mandate Commercial General Liability coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate, Commercial Automobile Liability of $5,000,000 for restricted areas, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Employer's Liability of $1,000,000. All insurance policies must be written on an occurrence basis, include the State of Maryland and related agencies as additional insureds, maintain primary coverage status, include waiver of subrogation endorsements, and provide 30-day cancellation notice. Certificates of insurance and required endorsements must be submitted prior to contract commencement and annually thereafter, with failure to maintain required insurance resulting in immediate contract termination at MES's discretion.
