Baltimore County is seeking professional engineering services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQu) for the Lead and Copper Replacement Program Management Services (Project No. 2025-02), issued by the Bureau of Engineering & Construction within the Department of Public Works and Transportation. The primary objective is to assist the county in managing its Lead Reduction Program and meeting United States Environmental Protection Agency's Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) guidelines. The project involves managing the identification and potential replacement of approximately 108,000 service lines with unknown lead status, with about 250 service lines currently classified as potentially requiring replacement. Firms will be evaluated and scored based on multiple criteria, including references (15 points), individual qualifications (30 points), completed project examples (90 points), project approach (30 points), and proximity to the project (10 points), totaling 175 possible points. The RFQu is due on May 30th, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST, with electronic submissions accepted via email. The initial contract term is 6 years, with potential renewal options for two additional two-year terms, and the selection process is expected to be completed by September 2025, with contract negotiations in October 2025 and potential County Council approval in December 2025. The county has established a 20% Minority Business Enterprise and Women Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE) participation requirement for this contract, which creates specific inclusion opportunities for diverse businesses. Successful firms must demonstrate experience managing lead and copper replacement programs for utilities of similar size and familiarity with LCRR and LCRI guidelines. While no specific budget range is disclosed in the available documents, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in infrastructure improvement and program management. The requirement for extensive technical expertise and the large scale of service line assessments indicates this will be a substantial contract targeting critical public infrastructure upgrades. Potential respondents should be prepared to showcase comprehensive capabilities in utility infrastructure management, regulatory compliance, and detailed project execution strategies specific to lead service line replacement programs.
