EC25-09-020-67 Addendum #2 5.8.25.rtf

Addendum #2 is an amendment to the Maryland state contract opportunity for Patapsco Valley State Parks Pickall Shelter Renovations, issued by Howard County. The document extends the Q&A period and modifies the due date for additional questions to May 9, 2025. The underlying project involves renovating thirteen shelters located in the Pickall Area of Patapsco Valley State Park at 8125 Johnny Cake Road in Elkridge, Maryland, with contractors required to replace rotted wood columns across shelters #702, #703, #705A & B, #706A & B, #707A & B, and #708.

The contract opportunity, originally posted on April 9, 2025, with proposals initially due by May 8, 2025, seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and insurance for structural repairs. While specific budget details are not provided, the solicitation suggests a competitive bidding process targeting contractors with expertise in park infrastructure renovation and structural wood replacement. Though no explicit set-aside designations are mentioned, Maryland state contracts typically include provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises and local small business participation. The project's location within Howard County's Edgemont Census Designated Place may indicate a potential preference for local contractors familiar with regional environmental and structural conditions.
