BID SOLICITATION AVAILABILITY
Contractors may obtain the files that comprise the Bid Solicitation Document from the Purchasing Website on the
following basis:
1. Availability of Documents
The Bid Solicitation Documents are available for viewing and download on the WCPS Purchasing website at
www.wcpspurchasing.com. The documents are accessible to any individual or company; however, obtaining
the documents does not constitute eligibility to receive an award.
2. Obtaining Prequalification
Registration through the WCPS website is mandatory and consists of a two-step process. The first step is vendor
registration. The second step is completion of the Prequalification Application, which is available on the
Purchasing Department website:
http://wcpspurchasing.com/vendors-contractors/becoming-wcps-vendor
Approval of Step One alone is not sufficient to be awarded a construction project.
3. Prequalification Requirements
Only contractors who have been pre-qualified by the WCPS Purchasing Department are eligible for award.
Prequalification with WCPS is valid for a period of three (3) years. Upon approval, vendors will receive a signed
confirmation letter from the WCPS Purchasing Department.
Vendors are responsible for renewing their prequalification prior to the expiration of the three-year period to
avoid a lapse in eligibility.
4. Verification of Prequalification Status
Contractors may verify their prequalification status by contacting the Purchasing Department at 301-766-2840
or by email at purchasing@wcps.k12.md.us. The length of time it takes to become pre-qualified can vary
greatly depending on the number of current requests, the required State and Federal registrations verifications
available and in good standing, and the turn-around time for references to respond back to WCPS.

Hagerstown MD 21740
301-766-2800
5. Prequalification Deadline
Bids submitted by contractors who have not been pre-qualified or have not successfully renewed their
prequalification prior to the Bid/RFP due date and time will not be considered for award, and their submission
will be noted on the Bid/RFP tabulation as "Non-Responsible".
6. Responsibility for Documents
The bidder is solely responsible for downloading all electronic files and coordinating all information contained
in the Bid Solicitation Documents. Accessing or reviewing only selected files or portions of the documents does
not relieve the contractor or subcontractor of responsibility for the full scope of work described in the complete
set of drawings and specifications. The Bid Solicitation Documents consist of electronic files that include
instructions, technical specifications, drawings, and any addenda issued prior to the bid opening.
7. Contractors and subcontract bidders must be licensed to perform construction work in the State of Maryland in
order to be eligible to bid. Contractors must meet WCPS' eligibility requirements in order to bid this project as
a prime bidder.
8. eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) Registration - All Washington County Public Schools (WCPS)
suppliers and/or contractors interested in bidding on WCPS projects must register on eMaryland Marketplace
Advantage (https://emma.maryland.gov/) PRIOR to submitting a bid. Maryland law requires local and state
agencies to post solicitation and award notices on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage. This cannot be done
without the contractor's self-registration in the system. Registration is free. Failure to comply with this
requirement may be considered grounds for default. It is recommended that any interested bidder register with
eMaryland Marketplace Advantage regardless of the award outcome for this procurement as it is a valuable
resource for bid notification for municipalities throughout Maryland.
OBJECTION TO AWARD
Any company objecting to the bid procedure or the recommendation for award has five (5) business days following the
date of award by the Board of Education to file a written protest with the Superintendent of Schools. It is the company's
responsibility to ascertain and confirm the date/time of the pertinent Board Meeting. The written appeal must be
submitted on company letterhead, dated and signed by the senior officer in the company. The protest letter must
include a request for review and ruling by WCPS, a detailed statement of the legal and factual grounds for the protest,
including the resulting prejudice to the company, copies of relevant documents, and a statement of the form of relief
being requested. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in the protest being deemed "not filed." Bid
protests received later than five (5) days after the Board Meeting will result in the protest being deemed "not
timely." WCPS will not respond or address bid protests that do not conform to these instructions.
BIDDING REQUIREMENTS
Bid Security Bond in the amount of 5% of the Total Bid is required from all Bidders. The Bid Security Bond serves as
security for obtaining Performance Bond and Payment Bonds in 100% of the Contract amount from the successful bidder
