Compensation is structured on a per-task basis using fully loaded hourly labor rates for straight time and overtime, with materials billed at actual purchase price. Bidders must submit their proposals via eMMA by November 16, 2026. Key compliance requirements include adherence to the Federal Noise Control Act, the hot work permitting process through the BWI Airport Fire and Rescue Department, and financial and political contribution disclosures for contracts meeting specific monetary thresholds.
