SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Summary Statement
The Maryland Stadium Authority ("MSA" or the "Owner") is soliciting proposals
from qualified Contractors to provide code compliance services for various capital
development projects (hereinafter the "Project") on an as needed basis, as
established in section 3 of this RFP. This RFP will be the basis for selecting code
compliance Offerors that will be issued project-specific Task Orders.
Project assignments may take place at the Camden Yards Sports Complex (CYSC)
in Baltimore, MD or at other locations throughout the State of Maryland as
needed by MSA. Travel time will not be reimbursed within a fifty (50) mile
radius of the CYSC. Outside of that range, travel reimbursements may be
reimbursed only if approved in advance by MSA in writing, and in accordance with
State of Maryland travel reimbursement policies.
1.2 Overview of MSA
MSA has a myriad of responsibilities for construction, maintenance, operations, demolition,
feasibility studies, and more in connection with properties and projects that range from the
85+ acres that comprise the Camden Yards Sports Complex ("CYSC") in Baltimore City;
State-wide public school construction ("School Projects"); hazardous substance
abatement, demolition and stabilization of vacant properties in Baltimore City in connection
with the Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative ("BVRI") (formerly, Project CORE);
Pimlico Race Course and a separate year round training facility (together "Racing
Facilities"); Sports Entertainment Facilities ("Sports Entertainment Facilities") and
the Prince George's County Blue Line Corridor Facilities ("Blue Line Facilities"); MSA
also has statutory authority for the Baltimore Convention Center, the Hippodrome
Performing Arts Center, the Montgomery County Conference facility and the Ocean City
Convention facility (collectively, "Other Facilities"); and projects undertaken pursuant to
MSA's statutory authority set forth in 10-622 (" 10-622 Projects") of the Economic
Development Article of the Maryland Annotated Code. CYSC, School Projects, BVRI, Racing
Facilities, Sports Entertainment Facilities, Blue Line Facilities, Other Facilities, and 10-
622 Projects are each a potential "MSA Project" and collectively "MSA Projects". MSA
Projects may be expanded to include new or revised responsibilities of MSA. The scope of
work included in this RFP anticipates MSA requirements for code compliance services in
connection with some MSA Projects.

renewal option terms, if any. MBE goals for the construction phase will be
8

determined prior to the bidding phase. All subcontractors named by the
Offeror as part of their MBE Schedule must be certified with the Maryland
Department of Transportation (MDOT).
2. Notwithstanding any subgoals established for this RFP, the Contractor is
encouraged to use a diverse group of subcontractors and suppliers from
any/all of the various MBE classifications to meet the remainder of the overall
MBE participation goal.
3. By submitting a response to this solicitation, the Offeror acknowledges the
overall MBE subcontractor participation goal and subgoals (if applicable) and
commits to achieving the overall goal and subgoals by utilizing certified
minority business enterprises, or requests a full or partial waiver of the overall
goal and subgoals (if applicable).

goal(s) stated in this RFP must submit a request for waiver with its proposal
submission that is supported by good faith efforts documentation to meet the
MBE goal made prior to submission of its proposal as outlined in
Attachment D-1B, Waiver Guidance. Failure of an Offeror to properly

Proposal. This failure is not curable.

at the time it submits its Technical Proposal, the Procurement Officer may
determine that the Proposal is not reasonably susceptible of being selected for
award.

stated in the solicitation, by identifying the specific commitment of
certified MBEs at the time of Proposal submission. The Offeror shall
specify the percentage of total contract value associated with each
MBE subcontractor identified on the MBE participation schedule,
including any work performed by the MBE prime (including a prime
participating as a joint venture) to be counted towards meeting the
MBE participation goals, each MBE subcontractor's MDOT
