The Charles County Commissioners in Maryland are soliciting bids for on-call construction services on stormwater facilities under ITB Solicitation #27-013, with bids due November 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM via electronic submission through the County's eProcurement Portal. Bidders must hold MWBE and SLBE certifications where applicable and submit a 5% bid bond and performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of contract price upon execution.
The scope encompasses roadway repairs attributed to pipe crossings at driveways and road crossings, drainage work, stormwater management, and maintenance activities. Individual task orders shall not exceed $300,000. Contractors must demonstrate at least five years of active engagement in the field with a minimum of five completed projects within the past two years in storm drain repair and maintenance, stormwater pond maintenance, and road repair.
The base contract term runs through December 31, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals exercisable at the County's sole discretion. Unit prices remain firm through the base term; renewal pricing adjusts using Consumer Price Index percentage change. The County intends to award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder(s) based on total bid price and may award to multiple contractors. No monetary guarantee is provided; task orders are issued on a purchase order basis at the task order level.
