The Public Housing Authority of Queen Anne's County, Maryland is soliciting sealed bids on deck renovation at Fisher Manor in Grasonville under a local-vendor preference of 10% or $50,000 (whichever is less), with bids due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at the Kramer Center in Centreville. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive local-vendor bidder, provided the bid does not exceed other lowest bids by more than the applicable preference amount.

Building 5 requires installation of a 20-foot-long by 36-inch-wide aluminum wheelchair ramp with aluminum handrails and concrete footing extensions, fully compliant with current ADA code. Contractors must field-verify dimensions, obtain all necessary permits, coordinate inspections, and maintain full-time access during construction. An Add-Alternate 1 permits composite deck boards in lieu of treated wood.

Contract time is 60 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with final completion within 10 days thereafter. Liquidated damages are $250 per calendar day for delays. Bids must remain firm for 60 days. Bid security of 5% of total bid is required for contracts exceeding $100,000; performance and payment bonds, each at 100% of bid, are due within 14 days of award for contracts over $100,000.
