School Construction

Capital Improvement Program projects for Carroll County Public Schools are administered by the Construction Department. Projects include new construction, capital renewals, and other capital facility projects. Competitive bids are obtained from pre-qualified bidders that have submitted a Pre-Qualification Application for construction services for Capital Improvement Program Projects. Procurement of the services for the construction of projects are handled by the Carroll County Public Schools’ Purchasing Department and are advertised in the local newspapers and on their website.

Under the Aging School Program, Carroll County Public Schools has completed numerous projects to repair, replace, or renovate specific capital systems in school buildings greater than 15 years of age. Projects are selected that will protect school buildings from deterioration, improve safety for students and staff, and enhance the delivery of educational programs.

Projects that replace building systems, such as Heating, Ventilation, and Air-conditioning systems and Roof Replacements are considered systemic renovations. State of Maryland and County Capital Improvement Budget funding provides the resources required to maintain high quality school facilities.

New construction projects include new buildings and additions as deemed necessary for various reasons including aging infrastructure replacement, enrollment growth, and specific educational program’s needs.​

Modernization projects include the replacement of multiple building systems and components to address changes in the educational program delivery methodology and renew the physical plant assets.​
