VC Bathrooms Renovation

The Historic St. Mary's City Commission (HSMC) is seeking proposals for a visitor center bathroom renovation project located at 18751 Hogaboom Lane in Lexington Park, Maryland, under RFP No. 23134. The scope of work includes comprehensive bathroom remodeling for both men's and women's facilities, with specific requirements such as ADA compliance, replacement of plumbing fixtures, painting, new dividers, installation of an infant changing station, LED lighting fixtures, and wall and floor tile replacement. Contractors must complete the demolition and reconstruction within a 30-day consecutive period, with liquidated damages assessed for delays beyond this timeframe. The solicitation was posted on February 16, 2021, with sealed offers due by February 18, 2021, at 12:00 PM local time. Evaluation criteria will focus on providing the best value within the project budget, with specific attention to design quality, compliance with specifications, and timely completion. Contractors must be prepared to submit performance and payment bonds if the bid exceeds $100,000, and must comply with all project specifications outlined in the detailed solicitation documents.

The procurement appears to have potential set-aside considerations for minority business participation, as indicated in the supplementary conditions document. No specific incumbent vendors were identified in the documentation. The total project budget is not to exceed $56,000, with the contract awarded to the offeror providing the most comprehensive and cost-effective proposal. Performance requirements include compliance with state and federal laws, providing required insurance, and assuming ownership of all documents, equipment, and materials produced during the project. Contractors must be prepared to work within the museum's security provisions and undergo potential third-party inspections of electrical and plumbing work. An amendment to the original scope of work indicates additional requirements, such as mandating touchless and automatic toilets, urinals, and sinks, and potential flexibility in redesigning bathroom layouts by moving corridor walls. Bidders are expected to submit proposals on company letterhead and demonstrate the capability to meet all technical and contractual specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.
