Water Supply Capacity Management Plans

Worcester County, Maryland is soliciting proposals from qualified engineering consultants to prepare a Water Supply Capacity Management Plan (CMP) for two service areas: the Ocean Pines system and the MD 611 Corridor system. The primary deliverables include a comprehensive CMP for both systems, a calibrated water model specific to the Ocean Pines system, and recommendations for water storage and water supply improvements for both service areas, all developed in conformity with requirements specified in the proposal documents. Key objectives focus on assessing water supply capacity, identifying infrastructure needs, and providing actionable recommendations to support long-term water supply sustainability. Required qualifications for responding consultants should include demonstrated expertise in water system planning, hydraulic modeling, and capacity management analysis, though specific credential requirements are not detailed in the available information. The proposal submission deadline is April 23, 2026, with the opportunity having been posted on February 19, 2026, providing approximately two months for interested firms to prepare and submit responses.

The procurement documentation does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on respondent types, or disadvantaged enterprise program participation requirements based on the available information. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the contract opportunity notice. The integration with existing infrastructure—specifically the Ocean Pines water system and MD 611 Corridor system—will require consultants to coordinate with current system operations and data. Similarly, any existing water models or planning documents related to these systems may need to be incorporated into the new deliverables. The contract opportunity does not include a listed award value or budget range, requiring interested consultants to review the complete proposal documents for financial parameters and compensation details.
