Bid no. 25-09 - tilghman on chesapeake resilient green infrastructure project

Talbot County, Maryland is seeking bids for the Tilghman on Chesapeake Resilient Green Infrastructure Project (Bid No. 25-09), a comprehensive environmental restoration and infrastructure development initiative. The procurement involves constructing approximately 605 linear feet of stone sill, creating 9,550 square feet of sand fill with marsh plantings, developing 37,540 square feet of coastal dune with plantings, and establishing 7,000 square feet of non-tidal wetland. Additional project components include meadow seeding across 96,900 square feet, installing a tide valve, inlet grate, and 66 linear feet of pipe, along with complete site restoration and final stabilization. The bid was posted on May 13, 2025, with proposals due by June 19, 2025, requiring contractors to complete all interim and restorative tasks as detailed in the project's construction drawings and specifications. Potential bidders must demonstrate technical capabilities to execute complex environmental infrastructure work involving multiple ecological restoration techniques.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the project's scope suggests a preference for contractors with significant environmental engineering and coastal restoration experience. The project is located in Talbot County and appears to be funded through local or state environmental resilience programs. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the extensive scope of work—involving multiple landscaping, infrastructure, and ecological restoration elements—indicates a substantial investment in green infrastructure. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in coastal ecosystem rehabilitation, environmental construction techniques, and ability to integrate multiple complex site restoration strategies. The project's comprehensive nature suggests it is likely targeted at firms with previous experience in large-scale environmental infrastructure development, particularly those with specialized knowledge of Maryland's coastal ecosystems and resilience strategies.
