IFB 27-15 Reference Form.pdf

This is a References Form for IFB 27-15, a competitive solicitation issued by the Columbia Association for a project in Maryland. The form requests bidders to provide three professional references documenting their prior experience with similar projects. Each reference section requires submission of the contracting company name and address, primary contact information including name, telephone number, and email address, the annual contract value, and a brief description of the project performed. The Lake Elkhorn East Inlet Boardwalk Replacement project represents the subject opportunity, with an anticipated performance period from January 4, 2027 through April 2, 2027, though the start date may be adjusted based on contract execution and Notice to Proceed issuance.

Critical to project execution is compliance with Maryland Department of the Environment Time-of-Year-Restrictions applicable to the Little Patuxent River stream tributary feeding Lake Elkhorn, classified as Nontidal Stream Use Class IV Recreational Trout Waters. All in-stream work must be completed by February 28, 2027, as the state prohibits construction affecting aquatic habitats in the tributary from March 1 through May 31. Bidders must demonstrate relevant experience through the reference submissions and must structure their project timelines to meet the February 28 deadline for in-stream activities.
