About this file

This is a Pre-Bid Conference agenda and attendee sign-in sheet for the Landers Library Renovation project at Saint Mary's College of Maryland. The project involves construction services for library renovation, with a pre-bid conference held on February 4, 2026. Key contractual dates include an RFI due date of February 13, 2026, technical and bid proposals due on February 27, 2026, contract award on April 3, 2026, and a period of performance from April 3, 2026 through January 8, 2027. The conference agenda included presentations by campus leadership on procurement procedures, campus architecture, art collection considerations, information technology staff involvement, phasing schedules for occupied spaces, and a building tour. The conference covered multiple trade disciplines including general contractors, audio/visual systems, demolition services, ductwork, electrical, flooring, interior signage, life/safety/security, mechanical systems, insulation and firestopping, moving services, plumbing, and storage solutions.

The pre-bid conference attracted 45 attendees representing SMCM staff and numerous specialty contractors and subcontractors across multiple trade categories. Key SMCM personnel included Procurement Officer Darry Green, Campus Architect Charles Wilson, and Jonathan Dobry, Director of Capital Planning, Design & Construction. General contractors in attendance included established firms such as Coakley & Williams Construction, Whiting Turner, Harkins Builders, and Sorensen Gross. Supplementary correspondence indicates discussions regarding specification development, specifically the need to add a spec section for panel signage (Section 101423) to the bid documents, with signage representatives from McLain Group Reps and 2/90 Signage coordinating with the design team. No pricing information, set-asides, or funding source details are specified in this document.

Good afternoon, Hope you all are doing well and your week is moving along nicely. Just wanted to touch base regarding the pre-bid mtg on Wed. I unfortunately have a team mtg that I have to attend.

Could you let me know the GC’s that attend the mtg and feel free to give them my info as well.

Let me know if there is anything else I need to do.

Best Regards, Brian Heckman

Hi Beki and Brian, The Landers library project is out to bid. There is a pre bid meeting on Wednesday, I believe. I mention this in case you would like to attend. We won't be there.

Here is a link to the posted docs:

Landers Library Renovation (BPM055065) - Lot : 1 / Round : 1: eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA)

One question: We included your drawings in the set, but we don't have a spec section 101423 Panel Signage. I think we need to add that into the Bid docs. Do you agree? Would you like to send us your manufacturer spec to use as a template for creation of this section?

Thanks, Will
