GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Summary Statement

The Maryland Stadium Authority (“MSA”) is issuing this Request for Proposals (“RFP”)

to select a qualified Offeror to provide testing and inspection services for the Kent County

Middle School project (“Project”).

This project is pursuant to the Built to Learn Act of 2020 (“Act”), which became effective

on March 14, 2021, as a result of the Legislature’s veto override of HB1300-2020. The Act

authorizes MSA to engage in the renovation and/or replacement of school buildings and

will be implemented and administered through a combination of MSA and school staff.

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
