PART 1: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

The Board of Education of Prince George’s County (The Board) serves the needs of public education

in Prince George’s County, covering approximately 1,789 square miles, with a residential population of

more than 904,430. Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS), one of the nation's 20th largest

school districts, has 208 schools and centers, has approximately 131,657 students and nearly 22,000

employees and an annual operating budget of $2.3 billion.

The Board of Education of Prince George’s County is issuing this Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the William

Schmidt Outdoor Education Center (WSOEC) Project as defined in the Scope of Work located in the Project

Manual. These services are to be performed principally for the Department of Capital Programs.

Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) is proposing major construction at William Schmidt Outdoor

Education Center (OEC) located at 18501 Aquasco Road, Brandywine, MD 20613. The existing OEC consists

of various buildings and functions located on 450 acres in the southern part of Prince George’s County. The

site is bounded on two sides by roads, and on two sides by wooded land and farms. There are two primary

access points off Aquasco Road, one for the Orme building, the other to the site interior (the location of the

project). Access needs to be maintained to both areas during the construction process. This project consists

of approximately 60,000 square feet of new construction in the Villages and Dining Hall. This project will be

coordinated and managed via the Construction Manager as Advisor method (CMA). The CMA for Schmidt is

Oak Contracting, LLC.
