GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Summary Statement
Chapter 61 of the Acts of 2022 as codified in ED 10-601, 10-646.4, and 10-657.6
authorizes the Maryland Stadium Authority (the "MSA") to finance up to $200,000,000
for site acquisition and the planning, design, and construction of sports and
entertainment facilities. On September 6, 2023, MSA and the County Commissioners of
Charles County entered into a Memorandum of Agreement that formalizes the
relationship and role of each in the execution of necessary improvements to Regency
Furniture Stadium to ensure compliance with the Professional Development League
("PDL") Standards recently adopted by MLB (hereinafter the "Project").
MSA is issuing this solicitation to request proposals from qualified Offerors to provide
construction management services for pre-construction services related to the
improvements for Regency Furniture Stadium. The stadium is located in Waldorf, MD
and is the home of the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. An award will be made to one (1)
Offeror.
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
