DNR Razing & Facility Clean-Up Piney Point Aquaculture Center

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive demolition and clean-up services at the Piney Point Aquaculture Center located in St. Mary's County. The project requires a qualified contractor to provide all necessary labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and insurance to completely remove specific structures, including a barn, a metal roof structure, several boats, two trailers, and miscellaneous debris from the site located at 17996 Piney Point Road, Piney Point, MD 20674. The procurement opportunity was posted on August 22, 2025, with proposals due by September 29, 2025, indicating a approximately five-week solicitation period. The contractor will be responsible for complete site clearance, ensuring all specified structures and debris are removed in compliance with local and state regulations. Required qualifications likely include demonstrated experience in demolition, waste removal, and environmental site clean-up, with the ability to manage complex deconstruction projects in sensitive environmental settings.

The contract appears to have specific requirements for subcontractor participation, with a strong emphasis on minority and veteran-owned business enterprise (MBE/VSBE) involvement. The attached Attachment P document mandates comprehensive tracking of all subcontractors, with detailed reporting requirements for their certification status, work descriptions, and percentage contributions toward MBE and VSBE goals. While specific budget ranges are not provided in the available documentation, the procurement suggests a focused, site-specific demolition project with potential opportunities for certified small businesses, minority-owned firms, and veteran-owned businesses to participate as subcontractors. The State of Maryland will require precise documentation of subcontractor payments and participation, indicating a structured approach to ensuring diverse business involvement in the project. The contract appears designed to not only achieve the physical demolition objectives but also to support broader state procurement goals of promoting business diversity and economic inclusion.
