Department of Public Works Utilities Waldorf Regional Facility

The Board of Commissioners of Charles County are soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to provide architectural, engineering, and site development design services for the new Department of Public Works (DPW) Utilities Waldorf Regional Facility. The primary purpose of this solicitation is to prepare contract drawings and specifications and to obtain all applicable permits for the site development and construction of a new Utilities facility. The land area for this project is 10 acres. The site will consist of a facility with a square footage of approximately 63,000 sf along with several on-site improvements.

The building site is located at 2660 & 2690 Old Washington Rd; Waldorf, MD 20601.

This project will partially remove an existing warehouse building (approximately 63,000 square feet) to be replaced. The project will include new construction of a pre-fabricated metal building section to replace the removed section of the existing building and be integrated into the existing building to remain. the existing to remain building portion will be renovated as part of this building design. This facility should be designed to be a modern, multi‑use operational and office complex that consolidates and enhances service delivery for the Department of Public Works (DPW). This project will improve community responsiveness and strengthen service capacity by positioning the majority of the DPW workforce within the primary population district to reduce travel time, increase field coverage, and enhance emergency responsiveness.

Approximately 75-80% of the facility will house staff of DPW Utilities while also providing space for other County departments and divisions. The building will also have space available for storage and other uses yet to be determined. Within the campus there are plans to include site features such as parking, a fueling station, salt barn, gravel storage, and other structures.
