Broadmore Road Sewer Rehabilitation

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is soliciting sealed responses for the Broadmore Road Sewer Rehabilitation project, a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative located in the Paint Branch Basin within Prince George's County, Maryland. The procurement seeks a contractor to repair, rehabilitate, or replace 1,228 linear feet of defective sewer mains, 737 linear feet of defective sewer laterals, and seven manholes. Project deliverables include upsizing existing 6-inch pipes to 8-inch PVC piping, renewing sanitary house connections with 4-inch PVC laterals, installing cleanouts, and replacing deteriorated asbestos cement pipe. Responses must be submitted electronically through WSSC's eProcurement Portal by 2:00 pm on Thursday, December 18, 2025, with a question submission deadline of December 2, 2025. The project has a contract time for substantial completion of 140 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $925.00 per day assessed for delays. Contractors must demonstrate key personnel with minimum three years of experience in open cut underground utility construction, including certified traffic control and erosion and sediment control personnel.

The project includes specific set-aside provisions, establishing a 26 percent Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) subcontracting goal, with African American firms counting fully toward the goal and Hispanic American and Women-Owned firms counting partially at 13 percent and 14 percent respectively. Bidders must provide a bid guarantee of 5 percent of the bid amount, performance and payment bonds of 100 percent of the contract value, and evidence of commercial general liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence limits. The project is funded through the Maryland Department of the Environment's State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan program, requiring compliance with Davis-Bacon wage rates, American Iron and Steel (AIS) product requirements, and the Build America Buy America Act (BABA). While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, contractors must navigate complex permitting requirements from multiple jurisdictions, including Maryland State Highway Administration, Prince George's County, Montgomery County, Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Maryland Forest Service, and incorporated municipalities. The project involves work across multiple locations including Broadmore Road, Kilgore Road, E. Randolph Road, Morningside Drive, and Smith Village Road, with an estimated total project area of approximately 0.61 acres of disturbance.
