The procurement follows Massachusetts General Law Chapter 30 Section 39M for public works contracts and requires a 5% bid bond, with contractors subsequently providing a 50% labor and material payment bond. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage requirements, safety training, and security protocols for MBTA property. A non-disclosure agreement is required to receive confidential site plan information, and comprehensive insurance requirements must be met. The technical specifications mandate the use of Roth Industries double-wall tanks (UL SU 2258 certified) with specific requirements for tank materials, leak detection, and installation.
