Calvert County - Procurement - Long-Term Contracts for Infrastructure and Asset Management

This bill allows Calvert County to enter into long-term contracts (up to 20 years) for infrastructure and asset management programs, specifically for assets with a 15-year or longer lifecycle, such as water towers, flow meters, and sewer systems. It requires county commissioners to approve multiyear contracts through resolution and specifies that these contracts must cover the full lifecycle of the asset, including planning, construction, maintenance, and decommissioning. The bill directly affects Calvert County's procurement process for public infrastructure projects, streamlining how the county manages long-term asset investments. It amends existing procurement rules to expand contract terms while maintaining fiscal oversight requirements.
