RFP 2025-005 North Beach Green Infrastructure Design

The Town of North Beach, located in Calvert County, Maryland, is seeking proposals through RFP 2025-005 for a Green Infrastructure Design project funded by a Maryland Department of Natural Resources Grant. The procurement targets a qualified consultant to design stormwater green infrastructure practices and remove impervious surfaces at two specific locations: Greenwood Avenue Alley and Bay Avenue Parking Lot. Key deliverables include final design drawings, specifications, necessary permits, and community outreach materials, with a primary focus on reducing flood impacts from heavy precipitation events and demonstrating climate change resilience. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 17, 2025, at 10:00 am at the North Beach Welcome Center, with proposals due on May 8, 2025, by 10:00 am. Proposal evaluation will center on technical qualifications, specifically the consultant's experience with green infrastructure design, climate resilient features, native plant integration, and ability to develop cost-effective and sustainable solutions. The contract term is anticipated to be six months from the Notice to Proceed, with the consultant required to provide a lump sum price for a final design plan and a presentation or workshop for the Department of Public Works and key stakeholders.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the project emphasizes a broader goal of informing future equitable infrastructure projects throughout the town. The project is funded through Maryland Department of Natural Resources Grant number 14-23-4241, with a clear emphasis on climate resilience and ecological restoration. Although a specific budget range was not detailed in the provided documents, the project appears to be part of a strategic municipal initiative to address stormwater management and climate adaptation. The consultant will be expected to integrate innovative green infrastructure practices that can serve as a model for future municipal infrastructure projects. The procurement seeks a comprehensive solution that not only addresses immediate flooding concerns but also provides a framework for sustainable urban design that can be replicated in other municipal contexts.
