Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission – Procurement Alterations
PG/MC 102-26 (HB 1230) makes targeted, administrative updates to modernize WSSC Water’s procurement statute and strengthen small and local business participation.
The bill ensures that as WSSC Water invests
$4.8 billion in infrastructure
over the next six years through the Capital Improvements Program,
Maryland workers and businesses will be positioned to benefit.
The bill provides pathways to continue our commitment to both small and local businesses based in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, as well as businesses based in Maryland generally. It also creates formal recognition for businesses owned by veterans and disabled veterans.
In addition, HB 1230 makes clear that WSSC Water can set standards for local hiring, training and apprenticeships in the companies we work with and create ways we can accurately track and share the impact of our partnerships on the local workforce and the local economy.
