A. Purpose
The Maryland Stadium Authority (“MSA”) is inviting interested prime Offerors,
on behalf of The Board of Education of Caroline County Public Schools
(“CCPS”, the “LEA) to submit a Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”) in response
to this Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”). This RFQ is the first step in procuring
Construction Management (“CM”) Services for the replacement of the
Lockerman Middle School (“LMS”, the “Project”). Through this RFQ, MSA will
establish a pre-qualified list of Offerors that will be able to submit proposals in
response to the Request for Proposals (“RFP”) that will be issued subsequently
to procure the aforementioned services. Only Offerors that are pre-qualified as
a result of this RFQ will be issued the project specific RFP. At the conclusion of
the pre-construction period, the selected CM firm will have the possibility of
entering into a Guaranteed Maximum Price contract for construction of the
Project.
MSA reserves the right to accept or reject any SOQ in its sole and absolute
discretion, to waive any technical errors or irregularities, request clarifications,
amend the pre-qualification requirements, or abandon the pre-qualification
process, if it is in the interest of MSA and CCPS.
B. Background Information
This project is pursuant to the memorandum of agreement made effective as of
February 3, 2026, by and between CCPS, and the MSA. Whereas, the LEA and the
County desires to design, construct, and equip the replacement of the LMS project.
A feasibility study was conducted to determine the current conditions of the LMS
Building, and to make recommendations regarding the design strategy to program
and replace this structure. The replacement project will be implemented and
administered through a combination of MSA and CCPS staff. The final design must
accomplish the following goals on time and on/under budget:
1. Academic Upgrade: Ensure educational adequacy of all program components
and spaces to meet the site-specific educational specifications to accommodate
21st century learning.
2. Building Replacement: Deliver a building that meets contemporary performance
standards, including all interior and exterior elements and systems.
3. Site Upgrade: Improve vehicular and pedestrian access to the site as well as
accommodate ADA, stormwater management, utilities access/expansion, and
safety & security upgrades.
The site-specific educational specifications established the total square foot area
of the replacement building to be 140,005 square feet. The student capacity of the
building is set at 904 students. The modernization of the building will consist of a
complete replacement of the existing facility, on a new site. The new LMS building
will be co-located on the North Caroline High School site (10990 River Rd.,
