Request for Proposals - Code Compliance Services for Various Built to Learn Act School Projects

The Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) aimed at selecting a Code Compliance Services firm. This firm will be responsible for providing third-party plan review and code inspection services for various school projects under the Built to Learn Act of 2020. This initiative grants MSA the authority to renovate and replace K-12 buildings across Maryland, employing a collaborative approach involving both MSA and staff from Local Educational Agencies (LEAs). The selected consultant's role will encompass reviewing construction documents to verify compliance with local building codes in various disciplines including Structural, Non-Structural, Plumbing, Mechanical/HVAC, Electrical, and Elevator. The consultant is also expected to conduct on-site field inspections during construction phases and provide certification letters confirming adherence to local codes. The scope of the work involves comprehensive construction review services for several schools, such as Baltimore City High School, Baltimore Polytechnic Institute/Western High School, and Kent Middle School, along with other pending projects. Importantly, it is stipulated that no members from the architectural or engineering design teams involved in a particular project should conduct these reviews or inspections. The exact duration of the contract will be established based on the time required to complete the scope of work as agreed upon by MSA and the consultant. The services will be executed at various locations throughout Maryland where the projects are situated. The RFP details include an estimated contract value ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and the due date for proposals is February 4, 2025. Paige Stinnett from the Maryland Stadium Authority is the primary contact for potential offerors.
