The Maryland Department of General Services is soliciting technical proposals for a Small Business Reserve Procurement to provide comprehensive architect-engineer services for the modernization of seventeen traction and hydraulic elevators across four occupied state buildings in Annapolis: the House of Delegates, Revenue Administration, Miller Senate Office, and James Senate Office buildings. The scope of work encompasses the full project lifecycle, including field investigation, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding assistance, construction administration, and post-construction warranty services. A critical operational requirement is the coordination of project phasing to accommodate the annual Maryland General Assembly Session blackout from mid-January through mid-April. The design must utilize non-proprietary systems and integrate with Maryland Capitol Police security infrastructure, including HID readers and cameras.
The contract is expected to last six and a half years and will be awarded based on Qualification Based Selection, prioritizing recency of similar projects, understanding of the specific site constraints and phasing, and past performance. Eligible bidders must be certified small businesses, and the procurement includes specific goals for Minority Business Enterprises at 20 percent, with sub-goals of 7 percent for African American MBEs and 10 percent for women-owned MBEs. Awarded contractors are required to remit a one percent electronic transaction fee on all approved invoices. Technical proposals must be submitted exclusively via eMaryland Marketplace Advantage by November 3, 2026, and must omit all pricing information.
