Baltimore City Public Schools is soliciting bids under IFB-27044 for Door and Hardware Upgrades Package 3, focusing on security enhancements at Harlem Park Building 078 (Augusta Fells HS 430), Francis M Wood Building 178 (Vivien Thomas Medical Arts Academy 328), and the Baltimore School for the Arts 415. The project involves replacing doors and hardware to meet current security standards, including technical requirements for hollow metal doors and frames, ADA compliance, and fire ratings.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on qualifications, competency, and past performance. Bidders must be prequalified by the Baltimore City Department of Public Works and provide a State of Maryland Contractor's License, Certificate of Good Standing, and Lead-Based Paint certifications. Submission requirements include a Non-Collusion Certificate, Debarment Affidavit, and Anti-Bribery Affidavit, with a specific commitment to MBE and WBE participation goals of 15.00 percent and 7.0 percent, respectively. Bids must be submitted in PDF format via the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage portal by the revised deadline of November 23, 2026. Payment and performance bonds for the total award amount are required, and contractors must adhere to Maryland State Prevailing Wage and Living Wage requirements.
