DOHVCT25R- HVAC Controls Project- MDOT/SHA Cambridge Shop

The state of Maryland, specifically through Dorchester County and Capitol Heights Town, has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered DOHVCT25R for an HVAC Controls Project at the MDOT/SHA Cambridge Shop. This procurement opportunity is focused on upgrading or replacing HVAC control systems, with a specific emphasis on the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) and State Highway Administration (SHA) facility located in Cambridge. The project requires detailed technical specifications for HVAC control infrastructure, demanding expertise in mechanical systems, control technologies, and installation methodologies. Potential bidders must demonstrate substantial experience in complex HVAC control system implementations, with demonstrated capabilities in design, installation, and integration of advanced control technologies. The solicitation was posted on August 27, 2025, with bid responses due by September 24, 2025, providing approximately four weeks for interested contractors to prepare and submit comprehensive proposals. Detailed technical specifications, submission requirements, and evaluation criteria are likely available in the full bid documentation.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, Maryland state procurement typically encourages participation from minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprises. The HVAC controls project likely represents a moderate-scale infrastructure investment, potentially ranging between $250,000 and $750,000, depending on the complexity of the existing system and required upgrades. Contractors will need to demonstrate compliance with Maryland state procurement regulations, provide comprehensive insurance documentation, and potentially show previous successful implementations of similar HVAC control projects for government facilities. Technical qualifications, proven track record of successful installations, and competitive pricing will likely be critical evaluation factors. Integration capabilities with existing MDOT/SHA infrastructure and potential future technological expansions will also be important considerations for potential bidders.
