Government house tree lighting, landscape lighting, and controller replacement

The Maryland Department of General Services (DGS) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the GOVERNMENT HOUSE TREE LIGHTING, LANDSCAPE LIGHTING, AND CONTROLLER REPLACEMENT project. The project involves improving and replacing the landscaping and tree uplighting for the Government House within the Annapolis Public Buildings and Grounds, located in Anne Arundel County and the City of Annapolis. The successful bidder will be responsible for demolishing old lighting controls and fixtures, tracing and labeling existing circuits, installing new switch boxes and lighting controls, and replacing all existing ground and tree light fixtures with new low voltage models. The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the most favorable bid, and the work must be completed within 30 days of the notice to proceed.

This procurement is a Small Business Reserve (SBR) set-aside, meaning the contract will be awarded only to certified small business vendors in Maryland. There are no Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation goals. Pricing will be on a firm fixed-price basis, and the State of Maryland will provide all necessary electrical utilities to the contractor free of charge. The project is funded solely by the State of Maryland and does not involve any federal funds. The IFB does not mention any incumbent vendors or provide details on the award value or budget range.
