Metro Reconstruction of Reisterstown Plaza East Interlocking

The state of Maryland, specifically Baltimore City, is seeking contractors for a design-bid-build construction contract to reconstruct the Reisterstown Plaza East Interlocking and adjacent mainline tracks near the Reisterstown Plaza Station on the Baltimore Metro System. This procurement opportunity (ID: 670a70eeaff92fe098075c86) was posted on January 22, 2025, with proposals due by January 29, 2025. The project involves comprehensive track reconstruction and infrastructure improvement within the urban transit system, requiring detailed engineering expertise and construction capabilities. Potential bidders must demonstrate significant experience in metro rail infrastructure renovation, with specific qualifications in track interlocking systems, urban transit construction, and complex transportation infrastructure projects. The contract will require precise technical documentation, detailed engineering plans, and a comprehensive approach to reconstructing the specified metro system section while maintaining minimal disruption to existing transit operations.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, typical Maryland state and local contracts often have provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises and local contractors. The project's location in Baltimore City suggests potential preference for local or regional contractors with demonstrated transit infrastructure experience. Given the specialized nature of metro rail reconstruction, the contract will likely require sophisticated technical capabilities, specialized engineering skills, and proven track records in complex transportation infrastructure projects. Although exact budget ranges are not specified, metro infrastructure reconstruction projects of this complexity typically range from several hundred thousand to multiple million dollars. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide comprehensive project proposals, detailed engineering plans, and demonstrate substantial experience in urban transit system reconstruction and mechanical interlocking system modifications.
