Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This is an Intergovernmental and Cooperative Purchasing Clause document applicable to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC Water) in Maryland. The document establishes the framework for locating and marking underground facilities services throughout Prince George's and Montgomery Counties, Maryland. WSSC Water is seeking a contractor to locate and mark all of the Commission's underground assets and to provide a comprehensive system for receiving, distributing, and responding to all Miss-Utility tickets from the Miss Utility One-Call Center. The contractor must respond to tickets in accordance with the Maryland Code: Public Utilities Article, Title 12, which governs excavation or demolition near underground facilities. Sealed responses must be submitted through WSSC Water's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater prior to 2:00 pm on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, with late responses not accepted.

The clause document itself does not contain specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding amounts within its text, as it functions primarily as a contractual provision governing the relationship between WSSC Water and potential contractors under cooperative purchasing arrangements. The document serves to establish the legal and operational parameters under which contractors operating under this agreement must perform, ensuring compliance with applicable Maryland regulations and WSSC Water's operational requirements for underground facility management and public safety.
