Baltimore City Question E - Charter Amendment - Contract Bidding and Awards
Source: elections.maryland.gov
What does this measure do?
Baltimore would remove from its city charter the rule that city contracts must go to the lowest bidder, along with rules on tie bids and contractor guarantees, and write new contracting rules by November 2028. The city could then pick contractors under its new rules, not only by lowest price.
