Centennial Park West Ballfield Renovation - Phase 1

Howard County is seeking to award a construction contract for the first phase of field renovations at Centennial Park West, with a project value estimated between one million and five million dollars. The scope of work includes demolition of existing site features, construction of concrete sidewalks and asphalt trails, installation of sanitary sewer and water lines, drainage and stormwater management features, site furnishings, fencing, and landscaping. Notably, electrical work such as sports field lighting and artificial turf installation will be handled separately by designated contractors hired directly by Howard County Recreation & Parks. The selected construction firm will be responsible for all other work shown on the plans, including stormwater management under the fields, fencing, and curbing, and must coordinate closely with the electrical and turf contractors to ensure proper site access, elevation, and schedule alignment. The procurement process involves several mandatory forms and affidavits, including disclosures related to foreign services, non-collusion, conflict of interest, and compliance with non-discrimination and ethics standards, as well as certification under the Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise Program. The contract will be governed by Maryland law, with specific provisions for project completion, ownership rights, and adherence to county ethics policies. The solicitation, identified as IFB 2025-25, was posted in November 2024 with a response deadline of late January 2025. The project aims to enhance recreational facilities at Centennial Park West while ensuring compliance with all procurement regulations and fostering coordination among multiple contractors involved in different aspects of the renovation.
