Architects, Landscape Architects, Engineers and Land Surveyors who plan to submit expressions of interest to work on Baltimore County projects must prequalify. Note: The four disciplines listed above must be licensed by the State of Maryland. To receive the prequalification reminder notice via e-mail, please subscribe to our e-mail distribution list. The County advertises each July in The Daily Record and The Jeffersonian reminding consulting firms to establish, or renew, their prequalification for the coming Prequalification Cycle, which runs from August 1 to July 31 to following year. Consultants also may prequalify for a specific project prior to the project's submittal date. - Prequalification forms are accepted throughout the Prequalification Cycle (August 1 to July 31) the following year. The prequalification submittals are valid only for the particular cycle in which it was submitted.
- Irregular submittals are sent a courtesy letter for correct information needed, as long as the prequalification submittal is not with a specific project submittal.
- Firms that submit prequalification forms with a project submittal, run the risk of being eliminated from the project due to an incorrect prequalification submittal. We strongly suggest early prequalification.
