The scope encompasses demolition of an existing 1970s-era restroom and shelter structure; construction of a new pre-engineered, prefabricated pavilion with an ADA-accessible restroom including plumbing, water, sewer, electrical, and mechanical systems; site preparation; installation of ADA-compliant walkways, paths, landings, and pads; furnishing and installation of site amenities (parking spaces, trash and recycling receptacles, bike racks, tables, grills, benches, bollards, boulders, fencing, and water fountains); landscape work (trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, soil rehabilitation, seeding, sodding); and stormwater management facilities. The project is located at 1133 First Street, Rockville, Maryland. Contractor is responsible for all inspections, permitting, and as-built drawings.

Work must commence within ten calendar days of purchase-order issuance and be completed within 180 consecutive calendar days; liquidated damages of $400 per calendar day apply for work exceeding the timeline. The City will waive permit fees, but the contractor bears all costs to comply with permit requirements (Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Construction, Demolition, Stormwater Management, Erosion and Sediment Control, Utility, Forest Conservation Plan Amendment, and Forestry permits). The park must remain open and accessible throughout construction. The contractor must provide two local 24/7 emergency contact numbers and maintain sufficient personnel and equipment to respond immediately to City directives.

All bids require a 5% bid bond. The successful bidder must execute a 100% Performance Bond and a Payment Bond (100% of bid amount if contract exceeds $100,000; 50% if contract exceeds $25,000 but not $100,000). Payment is NET 30 following invoice receipt via ACH only. A 5% retainage is held from each progress payment, plus an additional 5% held from the final payment for 120 days after acceptance. Questions are due June 26, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; the City reserves the right to reject any or all bids within 90 days of bid opening.
