Addendum 2 24-5000 OPM.pdf

Addendum No. 2 for RFQ 24-5000 is a document issued by the Westborough Fire Department and Procurement Office for Owner's Project Manager (OPM) Services related to the Regional Emergency Communication Center (RECC) project. The addendum addresses two key questions from potential bidders: first, confirming that no established program for renovations currently exists, and second, clarifying that the selected OPM will be barred from bidding on the subsequent design contract for the project. The document is dated 2/15/2024 and provides clarification on the scope and procurement process for the OPM services.

The addendum indicates that the project is in an early planning stage, with no comprehensive program document detailing space allocations, power needs, telecommunications requirements, redundancy, or security specifications. The procurement approach includes a two-step process: first selecting an OPM, and subsequently issuing a separate design service Request for Proposal (RFP). The explicit prohibition on the OPM bidding on the design contract suggests a strategy to maintain procurement integrity and prevent potential conflicts of interest in the project's development.
