G-010-210-110 Bill Burton State Park Fishing Pier Design and Demolition

The Maryland Department of General Services (DGS) is seeking professional services for the design and demolition of the Bill Burton State Park Fishing Pier, located in Talbot County. The project involves preparing comprehensive plans and specifications for demolishing approximately 8,000 linear feet of existing concrete and steel pier structures, which will include removing reinforced concrete piles and beams and properly disposing of demolished materials. A key component of the project is constructing a new 270-foot timber walkway to connect from land to the existing structure. The contract duration is structured over 76 months, with 24 months allocated for design and construction documents, 4 months for bidding, and 24 months for actual construction, followed by 24 months of limited participation for warranty purposes. Proposals are due on December 3, 2024, by 3:00 PM local time, and the RFP requires detailed design specifications, compliance with relevant permits and codes, and comprehensive architectural and engineering documentation demonstrating technical capabilities and project approach.

The solicitation includes specific set-aside requirements with Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation goals of 20% and Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation goals of 5%. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, the procurement documents indicate a comprehensive evaluation process that will assess proposers' qualifications, technical expertise, and ability to successfully execute the pier design and demolition project. Proposers must submit Standard Form 330 documentation detailing their architectural and engineering qualifications, key personnel resumes, and example projects demonstrating relevant experience. Though a specific contract value is not stated, the extensive project scope and multi-year timeline suggest a significant investment in rehabilitating the Bill Burton State Park Fishing Pier infrastructure. Potential bidders should carefully review the RFP documents, particularly the scope of work attachments, to ensure full understanding of the technical requirements and submission expectations.
