The Mayor and Commissioners of Emmitsburg, Maryland are requesting sealed bids from qualified and licensed contractors to execute the Federal Avenue Storm Drain Improvements, as shown on the drawings designed by Rummel, Klepper, and Kahl, LLP (RK&K) dated November 6, 2025. Sealed bids are due by 4:00 p.m. local time on January 9, 2026. Please see “Submittal Requirements” on how to submit your bid.

A portion of a street named Federal Avenue in Emmitsburg, Maryland (between East Main Street and East North Avenue), has experienced ongoing drainage problems. During heavy rain, water often ponds in the roadway since the existing storm drainpipes and inlets are old, partially clogged, and undersized. To address this concern, the Town hired RK&K in 2025 to evaluate the drainage system and design necessary improvements. The final plans (dated November 6, 2025), recommend removing the deteriorated pipes, installing new 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe, building two new storm drain inlets, and making grading adjustments to allow water flow into the system properly.
