DCR-825 Contract Marine Rescue Products.pdf

This document is a Request for Response (RFR) for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to establish a Master Service Agreement (MSA) for the purchase of equipment and supplies as well as the maintenance and repair of such equipment used for the safe operation of DCR-managed waterfronts, swimming pools, wading pools, and spray decks. The RFR seeks qualified vendors to provide these services and products on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum or maximum quantities. Responses are due by a specified date, and a mandatory bidder's conference will be held prior to the due date. The resulting MSA will have an initial term of 3 years with the option to renew for up to 2 additional 1-year terms.

Pricing for the requested products and services will be based on a fixed unit cost or hourly rate structure. The RFR notes that the Commonwealth has a set-aside procurement program and encourages responses from certified small and minority-owned businesses. Current incumbent vendors may continue to provide services under the new MSA. Funding for this contract will come from the DCR's operating budget allocated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
