Council approves Indiantown Road crossing repairs, renews airport engineering and lease agreements
Summary
Council approved awarding Indiantown Road railroad crossing repairs to David A. Bramble, Inc. for $21,151, renewed the AECOM master engineering agreement for airport design services, and renewed an airport terminal lease for Dalcom, LLC (two years, $14,004).
Dorchester County Council on July 16 approved multiple infrastructure and airport-related items:
• Indiantown Road: The Council authorized Public Works to remove railroad tracks and pave the crossing on Indiantown Road near MD 331 and accept the lowest bidder, David A. Bramble, Inc., at a cost of $21,151 funded from the FY24 Capital Budget for road paving. A request by Councilman Rob Kramer to allow Russell Paving Co., Inc. to match the low bid was denied on a 3–2 vote.
• Airport engineering: The Council approved renewal of the AECOM Design Services, Inc. Master Design Engineering Services Agreement for the Cambridge-Dorchester Regional Airport for a two-year term effective July 8, 2024 to access design engineering services as needed.
• Airport lease: Based on Airport Director Steve Nuwer’s recommendation, the Council renewed Dalcom, LLC’s lease for Offices 2 and 3 in the airport terminal for two years commencing Aug. 1, 2024, with total rental fees of $14,004. Nuwer said he appreciates Dalcom, LLC being at the Airport.
Why it matters: these are routine capital maintenance and contracting decisions that keep County transportation infrastructure and airport operations functioning. The Indiantown Road award includes a procurement decision in favor of the lowest bidder and a denied motion to allow bid matching.
