Replacement of Pool/Pump Project MSD SPCC660001

The Maryland School for the Deaf (MSD) is seeking bids for the Replacement of Pool Pump/Motor Project at its Columbia Campus, with solicitation number MSD SPCC660001. The procurement involves removing the existing pool pump/motor and installing a new Baldor/Marlow 10HP pump and motor assembly, specifically a 208-230 volt, 1765 RPM system. Vendors must submit electronic quotes through emma.maryland.gov by August 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for July 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Columbia Campus location. The contractor's responsibilities include complete removal of the old pump, installation of the new pump, electrical wiring to the existing circuit, performance testing, and site cleanup. Award criteria will focus on responsiveness and lowest cost, with additional requirements that vendors be registered to do business in Maryland and maintain good standing. Evaluation will also consider the vendor's ability to meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with minimum bodily injury limits of $300,000 per person and $500,000 aggregate per occurrence.

The procurement actively encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and supports Maryland's statewide MBE program. Vendors must provide a one-year warranty on the installation, with the manufacturer's warranty also being acceptable to MSD. Payment will be processed upon completion and acceptance of work, with invoices submitted to the Maryland School for the Deaf's Accounts Payable department. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project appears to be a targeted infrastructure upgrade for the school's existing pool system. No explicit budget range is provided in the solicitation documents, but the scope suggests a moderate-scale mechanical replacement project. Potential bidders should note the stringent qualification requirements, including business registration, insurance coverage, and potential preference for MBE-certified organizations. The procurement represents a focused, straightforward replacement project with clear technical specifications and administrative guidelines.
