RFQ for Construction Services: Gunner's Lake Local Park Renovation

The Montgomery County Department of Parks of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is requesting proposals from qualified contractors to provide construction services for the renovation of Gunner's Lake Local Park in Germantown, Maryland, with proposals due October 14, 2026. This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), not a priced-bid solicitation.

The scope encompasses site preparation, demolition, tree preservation, erosion and sediment control, grading, drainage, stormwater management, athletic field construction, paving, curbs, concrete stairs, play areas, a picnic pavilion, site furnishings, turf establishment, and planting. Proposed amenities include a new playground, picnic pavilion, and relocated soccer fields with a surrounding loop path; modified parking with relocated ADA spaces and added stormwater management facilities; and two new pedestrian park entrances with concrete stairways along the east edge of the park.

Questions must be submitted by September 29, 2026, with responses issued by October 5, 2026. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams. Contractor selection is anticipated for November 16, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the ProcureNow portal; the system will close at the deadline with no exceptions. Vendors must acknowledge any addenda and submit their vendor questionnaire as part of their response.

The project contact and procurement contact is Christian Morales, Contract Specialist, at the Montgomery County Parks Department. The RFQ does not specify an estimated contract value, funding sources, incumbent contractor, evaluation criteria, or set-asides in the available documents.
