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 lifecycle like water towers, sewer systems, and flow meters. It modifies existing procurement rules to permit these extended contracts without requiring annual renewal, provided funds are available upfront or commissioners approve multi-year funding. The bill directly affects Calvert County's procurement process for major infrastructure projects, including planning, construction, and maintenance of water and sewer assets. It does not change standard procurement for regular supplies or services, focusing solely on large-scale infrastructure management.
