Turf Renovation, Turf Maintenance, Athletic Field Design, Irrigation Design, and Irrigation Installation Multiple Award Task Order Contracts

The Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) is soliciting proposals for multiple award, as-needed task order contracts for turf renovation, turf maintenance, athletic field design, irrigation design, and irrigation installation, with a virtual pre-proposal conference on November 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST (RSVP by November 9) and proposals due December 4, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST. The solicitation recommends a 10% Minority, Female, and Disabled-Owned Business (MFD) subcontracting participation level, and a completed Non-Discrimination in Subcontracting Bid Form is required for responsiveness.

Services cover athletic fields, golf facilities, and other Commission properties, including turf areas, playing surfaces, and irrigation systems, in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties. Prime contractors need at least three years of direct experience in each service category, current Maryland business licensure, and current Maryland Department of Agriculture pesticide applicator certification. Field-based categories require a supervisor with five years managing similar projects and a foreman with three years of experience. Athletic field design positions require a bachelor's degree in a design field, five years of athletic field design experience, and American Sports Builders Association Field Builder certification.

The Commission will award a maximum of five contracts per category. The initial term is two years, with the Commission reserving the right to renew for three additional one-year terms contingent on satisfactory performance. Individual task orders may not exceed $750,000. Pricing consists of fully burdened hourly rates for primes and subcontractors, firm for two years after execution. A rate adjustment may be requested after three years, tied to the Consumer Price Index for the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, with one adjustment permitted per contract term. The Commission does not guarantee any work and reserves the right to issue competitive solicitations for individual projects outside the awarded contracts.

Awards go to the highest-ranked, most responsive, and responsible offerors through a sealed proposal method that permits post-opening discussions. Technical questions are due November 17, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Commission's OpenGov Procurement platform.
