Summary

Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) maintains R&R Contracting Utilities as an on-call labor provider for utility maintenance, repair, and emergency response work across its Central Maryland service territory. Under this standing contract, R&R deploys crews on short notice for both scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs involving gas and electric infrastructure.

Scope of Work

R&R maintains a bench of trained workers ready for rapid deployment across BGE's service area. Typical assignments include:

  • Emergency gas line excavation and exposure for leak repair
  • Trench excavation and backfill for underground electric conduit replacement
  • Pavement cutting, removal, and restoration following utility repairs
  • Traffic control and pedestrian management around active work zones
  • Concrete and asphalt surface restoration to municipal standards
  • Support for planned infrastructure upgrades and system expansions

How It Works

BGE issues work orders on a rolling basis. R&R assembles the appropriate crew — laborers, equipment operators, and a foreman — and deploys within 24 hours. Crew sizes range from 4-person teams for targeted repairs to 20+ workers for larger infrastructure projects. R&R maintains all OSHA certifications, drug testing, and background checks required under BGE's contractor safety program.

Results

  • 24-hour deployment capability maintained throughout the contract
  • Zero safety incidents across all BGE deployments
  • Multi-year relationship — R&R has served as a trusted on-call provider through multiple contract renewals
  • Flexible scaling — crew sizes adjusted to match work order requirements without delays
