Renovation of Three Barns at St. Inigoes State Forest

The state of Maryland, specifically St. Mary's County, is seeking a contractor to complete a comprehensive renovation project for three historic barns located in St. Inigoes State Forest. The procurement opportunity, posted on October 6, 2025, with proposals due by November 19, 2025, requires a qualified contractor to provide complete renovation services for two tobacco barns (Barns 1 & 2) and one farm equipment barn (Barn 3), situated at 47401 and 47605 Beachville Road. The project mandates the contractor supply all necessary labor, equipment, materials, supplies, and insurance to successfully repair and restore these structures. Contractors must demonstrate extensive experience in historic barn renovation, structural restoration, and agricultural facility rehabilitation. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed, the procurement suggests a comprehensive technical and qualifications-based selection process will be employed. The project locations are precisely identified in St. Inigoes, St. Mary's County, Maryland, with a ZIP code of 20684, indicating a localized and geographically specific renovation initiative.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the procurement documentation. The project appears to be a standalone renovation effort targeting the restoration of agricultural infrastructure within a state forest setting. The absence of a stated budget range or specific award value suggests that interested contractors will need to develop detailed project cost estimates based on the comprehensive renovation requirements. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide detailed technical proposals that demonstrate their capability to restore historic barn structures, with a focus on maintaining structural integrity, preserving historical characteristics, and ensuring functional utility for farm equipment storage and agricultural purposes. Contractors should anticipate a thorough review process that will evaluate their technical expertise, restoration capabilities, and understanding of the unique requirements associated with renovating historic agricultural structures in a state forest environment.
