Oxford Comprehensive Shoreline Resilience Project

The Town of Oxford is soliciting a qualified construction contractor to execute Phase 1 of the Oxford Comprehensive Shoreline Resilience Project. The work focuses on renovating a portion of the Strand roadway and adjacent beach‑access parking lot to eliminate persistent ponding, improve storm‑water management, and add pedestrian‑access improvements while protecting a newly installed dune. The contract is a lump‑sum award, funded in part by a Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) grant, and must be completed within 150 days of the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre‑bid meeting and site visit, submit a sealed bid by August 31, 2026, and provide performance and payment bonds, insurance, and required certifications.
