Interior painting services at Esperanza Middle School and Chopticon High School.

This contract concerns interior painting services for two public schools in St. Mary's County—Esperanza Middle School and Chopticon High School. The solicitation was an ITB (Invitation to Bid) with a deadline of May 30, 2012, and two contractors were awarded separate bid items: Tito Contractors, Inc. for Section “A” at $16,950 and Colossal Contractors, Inc. for Section “B” at $48,500. The work likely includes surface preparation, priming, and applying interior paint to classrooms, hallways, and related spaces. The procurement was conducted through open competition, allowing multiple vendors to submit proposals. Because the bid amounts are fixed, the contract is effectively a lump‑sum arrangement. • Scope: Interior painting of school facilities (walls, ceilings, trim). • Vendors: Two contractors awarded distinct sections with total combined value of $65,450. • Procurement: Open competitive bidding with no set‑aside or award date disclosed.
