Cox Creek Mitigation at Genesee Valley- MBE Goal 29% with Sub Goals (Re-Bid)

The Maryland Environmental Service (MES) is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the Cox Creek Mitigation project at the Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center, located at 1717 Rayville Road in Parkton, Baltimore County, Maryland. The comprehensive procurement requires contractors to provide all materials, equipment, supplies, labor, and transportation necessary to complete environmental mitigation work. The project involves 59 distinct line items covering activities such as excavation, access road construction, drainage infrastructure installation, erosion control, and landscape restoration. Bidders must submit proposals by December 5, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with a proposed project completion timeline of 210 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Evaluation criteria will primarily focus on unit pricing for specified work items, with liquidated damages of $1,500 per calendar day for delays beyond the specified completion period. Interested contractors can request a site visit by emailing procurement@menv.com no later than November 17, 2025, at 1:00 PM.

The procurement includes a significant Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation goal of 29%, with specific subgoals of 8% for African American-owned firms and 11% for Women-owned firms. Bidders are required to complete a comprehensive qualification questionnaire covering organizational structure, financial status, construction experience, and equipment inventory. A 5% bid bond is mandatory for bids exceeding $100,000. Contractors must provide various certifications regarding investments, discriminatory practices, and compliance with state and federal regulations. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project and the detailed line-item bid structure suggest a substantial contract value. The re-bid nature of the project indicates that previous solicitations did not meet the Maryland Environmental Service's requirements, and no significant changes were made to the original project drawings except for qualifications outlined in the Multi-Step Solicitation Documents.
