Church Creek Elementary & Edgewood Elementary Blueprint Programs

The Harford County Public Schools Board of Education is seeking sealed, lump-sum bids for the Church Creek Elementary and Edgewood Elementary Blueprint Project (Bid CAG 25-2), which involves construction work at two elementary school locations in Maryland. The project specifically targets blueprint construction at Church Creek Elementary School (located at 4299 Church Creek Road, Belcamp) and Edgewood Elementary School (located at 2100 Cedar Drive, Edgewood). A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Friday, May 9, 2025, at 8:30 a.m., covering both school sites, with bids due by 10:00 a.m. local time on May 22, 2025, at the Harford County Public Schools Facilities Management Complex. Contractors must pre-qualify by submitting a Contractor's Qualification Statement three days prior to bid receipt, demonstrating their capability to execute the project successfully. The solicitation requires detailed documentation and adherence to specific bidding requirements, with the Board of Education reserving the right to accept or reject any bids and waive informalities.

The procurement includes a 15% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) goal with no specific subgoals, actively encouraging participation from certified minority-owned businesses. Contractors must submit MBE Attachment D-1A and a Participation Schedule, with additional MBE documentation required from the apparent low bidder within ten working days. Construction contractors are expected to use Maryland Department of Transportation-approved MBE firms when attempting to achieve minority participation goals. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the project represents a significant construction initiative focused on blueprint program implementation at two elementary school sites. The procurement emphasizes equal opportunity principles and promotes diverse contractor participation, with stringent requirements designed to ensure comprehensive and equitable project execution.
