Testing and Inspection Services - Kent County Middle School

The Maryland Stadium Authority is requesting proposals for testing and inspection services for the Kent County Middle School construction project, with proposals due July 31, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. A 10% overall Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation goal has been established with no subgoals.

Eligible offerors must be licensed to operate in Maryland and possess a minimum of five years of prime contractor experience providing testing and inspection services across all specified disciplines: earthwork and soils, environmental conditions, concrete, masonry, steel, roofing, fireproofing and fire-resistant materials, and waterproofing and air barriers. Offerors must demonstrate compliance with the 2021 International Building Code and American Council of Independent Laboratories standards.

The scope requires qualified personnel available at the construction site on 24-hour notice, consistent onsite inspector presence with appropriate certifications, attendance at pre-installation and construction meetings, coordination to avoid construction delays, daily reporting, and non-conformance documentation. Testing and inspection services are anticipated to commence immediately upon award and continue through September 2028.

The contract will be awarded as a not-to-exceed amount including an owner's contingency; the specific fee structure will be determined through evaluation of financial proposals submitted by short-listed offerors. Technical proposals are weighted more heavily than financial proposals. MSA reserves the right to cancel the solicitation, reject proposals, waive irregularities, conduct discussions with qualified offerors, or award based solely on written proposals without discussions.

A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for July 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom. Questions are due July 21, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. No site visits are anticipated, and oral presentations are discretionary.
