Calvert County - Contracts for Infrastructure or Asset Management - Contract Duration

HB 1158 allows Calvert County to enter into 20-year contracts for infrastructure or asset management programs involving qualifying assets with a minimum 15-year lifespan, such as water towers, flow meters, and other water/sewer assets. It modifies existing county law to authorize these extended contracts, which previously required shorter terms under the county's standard procurement rules. The bill specifically permits contracts covering the full lifecycle of these assets, including planning, construction, maintenance, and decommissioning. This change directly affects Calvert County's ability to manage long-term infrastructure projects under its procurement policies.
