BOWIE, MD. — Columbia, Md.-based Manekin Construction will break ground on the 80,000-square-foot Bowie City Hall Wednesday with an eye toward completing the development in 15 months. Administrative offices for the city government, as well as the Bowie Police Department, will be housed in the property. The $15 million project will spread across 6.2 acres at the intersection of Excalibur Road and Evergreen Parkway in Bowie. Manekin won the contract after bidding $10 million less than the city’s targeted budget for the property. The city has placed a call for artists to design two structures in the new city hall — a kinetic mobile for the building’s lobby and a working sundial to be placed in the hall’s front courtyard.
