From the meeting

The study says the existing HVAC equipment at Patapsco Middle School is near the end of its useful life and outlines replacement systems for the next project phase. The recommended replacement school would use new heating and chilled water infrastructure, rooftop or indoor air-handling equipment, and a new building automation control system. Because this is embedded in a feasibility study, the decision is still being shaped, but the scope is specific and tied to the future school replacement.

Sellers of HVAC, controls, and commissioning services should track the October 2026 design start.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
