ENGINEERING SERVICES

KENT NARROWS LANDING BULKHEAD

CHESTER, MARYLAND

AND

THOMPSON CREEK BULKHEAD

STEVENSVILLE, MARYLAND

AND

MATAPEAKE BOAT RAMP & FISHING PIER RAILINGS

STEVENSVILLE, MARYLAND

I. SCOPE OF WORK:

Obtain permits, develop design, construction plans, specifications, detailed construction cost estimates, prepare bid documents, and perform contract administration, inspection, and other services during construction for two bulkhead replacement projects, one boat ramp replacement project, and one fishing pier railing repair/replacement project in Queen Anne’s County, Maryland. See location maps, approximate existing dimensions, and concept drawings in attachments. The work shall be completed under the direction of a professional engineering firm with a minimum of five (5) years of documented experience in the design of boat ramps, bulkheads, and floating docks. The work described as Phase I shall be completed within One Hundred Twenty (120) calendar days of Notice to Proceed.

II. OVERVIEW:

A. COMBINING OF THREE PROJECTS IN QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY: The County seeks engineering services for three similar projects within an 8-mile radius.

Because each project is funded separately, expenses for each project will be tracked and billed separately, or clearly itemized, by project, on invoices. Combining the projects is intended to provide time and cost savings for all parties.

B. KENT NARROWS LANDING BULKHEAD: Kent Narrows Landing is located at 106 Piney Narrows Road, Chester, Maryland. Engineer the replacement of approximately 120 feet of the northern bulkhead at Kent Narrows Landing. Redeck about 494 square feet of decking for the boarding pier between the boat ramps.

Repair southern bulkhead and install approximately 240 feet of capboard.

C. THOMPSON CREEK LANDING BULKHEAD: Thompson Creek Landing is located at 750 Thompson Creek Road, Stevensville, Maryland. Engineer the replacement of approximately 360 feet of bulkhead at Thompson Creek Landing.

The one lane boat ramp and finger piers are in satisfactory condition and not part of the proposed project. They appear to have been built more recently than the bulkhead that is due for replacement. As an add alternate to this bid please add in engineering

Page 2 of 12 KNL_Thompson Creek_Matapeake Ramp Engnrng Svcs RFP_2026_v6f.docx cost for approximately 60 feet of bulkhead at the Sanitary Building right next door to the landing.

D. MATAPEAKE BOAT RAMP & FISHING PIER RAILINGS: Matapeake Boat Ramp & Fishing Pier is located at 251 Marine Academy Drive, Stevensville, Maryland. Engineer the replacement of a two-lane concrete boat ramp. The concrete is currently cracked, shifting, and settling in several places, especially on the northern side of the northern lane. A portion of a timber wall adjacent to the northern edge of the concrete has rotted and does not keep loose pieces of concrete in position.

Replacement of adjacent wooden finger pier, if necessary, for construction and need, as funding allows. Because the boat ramp is typically very busy it is envisioned the ramp replacement will be scheduled to minimize disruption to users. This may be achieved by scheduling the work during the off season or other approaches. County staff patched some cracks when extreme low tide conditions allowed and will continue to monitor status. For Matapeake Fishing Pier, engineer the repair or replacement of approximately 1,770 feet of pier railing. Some railing sections should be ADA compliant with the following features; lower railing sections, bait cutting and fishing rod holders.

E. FUNDING: A Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Waterway Improvement Fund grant has been approved to provide engineering services and construction for each project and the Queen Anne’s County Department of Parks and Recreation shall be responsible for administering the project and coordinating payments.

F. COUNTY AND DNR ROLES: The work shall be completed under the auspices of Queen Anne’s County Department of Parks and Recreation and in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Boating Access & Capital Waterway Improvement - Engineering and Construction Division. As owner or lessees of the facilities, the County is responsible for ensuring that each project is both properly designed and constructed. Because the project is grant-funded, DNR grant management staff may be making recommendations on both the design and construction of the project. DNR staff are not, however, engineers or project managers and any recommendations made by staff do not in any way relieve either the County or the consultant of their respective responsibilities.

III. CONSULTANT ENGINEERING SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED:
