CCPS RFP #25-09 NORTH EAST MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL REPLACEMENT PROJECT -32B Rebid Package

Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) #25-09 for the North East Middle/High School Replacement Project, specifically focusing on Package 32-B Landscaping Rebid. The procurement involves constructing a consolidated school facility that will co-locate North East Middle School and North East High School into a single new building located adjacent to the existing high school property at 300 Irishtown Road in North East, Maryland. The project scope includes comprehensive landscaping work for the new educational complex, with the existing high school remaining fully operational during construction and the recently renovated stadium being preserved as part of the new school infrastructure. The RFP was posted on April 2, 2025, with proposals due by April 29, 2025, indicating a relatively tight procurement timeline of approximately four weeks for potential bidders to prepare and submit comprehensive landscaping proposals. The project specifically targets the western portion of the site south of Irishtown Road, requiring detailed landscaping design and implementation that must seamlessly integrate with the new school construction while maintaining the existing educational environment's functionality.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be a standard public school infrastructure project open to qualified landscaping and construction contractors. The project's location in Cecil County suggests potential local vendor preference or regional contractor opportunities. Though no specific budget range is mentioned, school infrastructure projects of this scale typically represent significant investment, potentially ranging from several hundred thousand to multiple millions of dollars depending on the landscaping complexity and site requirements. The rebid nature of Package 32-B implies that previous bidding processes may have been unsuccessful, potentially indicating complex project specifications or challenging site conditions that require specialized landscaping expertise. Potential bidders should carefully review the full RFP documentation to understand precise qualification requirements, technical specifications, and any unique site constraints that might impact landscaping design and implementation for this educational facility replacement project.
