1164145 - Engineering Services: Stormwater and Flood Management

The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) issued Montgomery County (the County) its 4th generation National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit on November 4, 2021. The permit expires on November 4, 2026, unless the permit is administratively continued by MDE.

In May 2023, the County completed its first phase of the Comprehensive Flood Management Plan (CFMP). The CFMP is a multiyear effort designed to improve the County’s ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from flooding. The CFMP will include policy and programmatic components and technical studies to guide the County’s flood mitigation programs. https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/flooding/county/plan.html

The County requires professional consulting and engineering services, including expertise, all labor, all equipment, and reporting to assist with work required by the NPDES MS4 permit and to support the Comprehensive Flood Management planning and implementation. Many of the tasks reference guidance provided by MDE, and the Contractor must perform all services in strict compliance with all guidance and guideline documents, including compliance with any updates to those documents by MDE.
