White Marsh Park Comfort Station

Queen Anne's County Department of Parks and Recreation is requesting electronic bids for construction of a comfort station at White Marsh Park in Centreville, Maryland, with bids due January 15, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. local time and a pre-bid meeting and site visit on December 17, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. The award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; local vendor preference does not apply because not all project funds are County funds.

The scope includes design execution, permit acquisition, site work, stormwater facilities, and construction of a 900-square-foot split-face concrete masonry unit comfort station with peripheral work. The contractor is responsible for obtaining building permits and all trade permits within 21 days of Notice to Proceed, with permit review delays exceeding 30 calendar days considered excusable but non-compensable. Contract time adjustments for permit delays are capped at 30 calendar days maximum with no additional compensation. Specific deliverables include utility conduit installation per Delmarva Power specifications (Schedule 40 PVC grey electrical conduit or black HDPE SDR-13.5 with 36-inch long-sweep radius bends), Kawneer 601T system windows or equivalent, aluminum storefront doors with Vitro Solarban 60 glazing, standing seam metal roof in Hartford Green finish, duplex grinder pump system with air release valve, and Contech A-2000 corrugated PVC dual-wall culvert pipe. The contractor supplies temporary power until permanent transformer installation. Excluded from contractor scope: well installation, primary and secondary electrical service conductors, transformer installation, trail and culvert installation, and grading permit fees. Queen Anne's County coordinates and pays all Delmarva Power transformer service fees.

Contract time is 180 calendar days from Notice to Proceed to Substantial Completion, plus 30 additional calendar days to Final Completion. Liquidated damages are $500 per calendar day for delays beyond completion dates. Bid security of 5 percent of total bid is required; Performance and Payment Bonds of 100 percent of contract price are required for contracts exceeding $100,000. Comprehensive General Liability Insurance minimum $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate is required. The project is not federally funded and not subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements. Bids must remain open for 60 days following opening. Questions are due December 31, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. Electronic bids are submitted at https://qacmd.seamlessdocs.com/f/ComfortStationWM. Three addenda have been posted (Addendum 1 as of posting date, Addendum 2, and Addendum 3).
