Line cleaning, inspection, and repair at dundalk marine terminal and hawkins point landfill - MBE 7% - SBP

The Maryland Environmental Service (MES) is soliciting competitive sealed bids for line cleaning, inspection, and repair services primarily at the Hawkins Point Hazardous Waste Landfill and Dundalk Marine Terminal in Baltimore, Maryland. The multi-step procurement seeks qualified contractors to perform specialized services including storm drain cleaning, leachate line inspection, and groundwater treatment plant effluent line repairs. Bidders must demonstrate five years of experience, possess HAZWOPER and Confined Space certifications, and submit comprehensive documentation through the MES Procurement Portal. The initial contract term is three years, with MES retaining the option to renew for two additional one-year periods. Key evaluation criteria include unit pricing for services such as jet blast combo units, water blasters, CCTV inspection, manhole joint repairs, and cured-in-place pipe spot repairs. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 10, 2025, with mandatory site visits on October 14, 2025, at both locations. The bid submission deadline is November 5, 2025, at 1:00 PM.

The procurement includes specific set-aside provisions, with a 7% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation goal and a Small Business Preference that allows certified small business bids to be accepted if they do not exceed the lowest bid by more than 5%. MES plans to award up to two contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders, with the contract being non-exclusive, meaning the agency may engage other contractors simultaneously. The bid documents emphasize comprehensive requirements for equipment, safety protocols, and environmental awareness, particularly concerning hazardous waste management and confined space entry procedures. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the procurement indicates a comprehensive approach to infrastructure maintenance across two critical Maryland facilities. The contract will be compensation-based on actual quantities performed, with unit prices including all delivery and freight charges. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed unit pricing schedule and multi-year contract structure suggest a significant potential contract value for the selected contractors.
