This document is a Plan Holders List for the Massachusetts Department of Correction's Emergency Notification System project at the Old Colony Correctional Center (OCCC), identified as Mass. State Project No. DRM 2024-57 #11. The project involves installing an owner-provided emergency notification system specifically designed for a correctional environment, with a contract duration of 120 days for substantial completion and an additional 45 days for final acceptance. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 9:00 AM at the OCCC, with bid submissions due by 2:30 PM on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. Plans and specifications will be available electronically starting Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 12:00 PM, and bid intent forms are due by Monday, October 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

The project includes specific requirements for minority and women-owned business enterprise (MBE/WBE) participation with a combined goal of 10.4% and a service-disabled veteran-owned business enterprise (SDVOBE) participation benchmark of 3%. Contractors must undergo comprehensive background investigations, including criminal records checks through multiple agencies, and comply with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), which mandates a zero-tolerance policy toward sexual abuse and sexual harassment. Bidders must complete mandatory PREA training and possess a Prime/General Contractor Certificate of Eligibility from the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), along with a completed Update Statement and a 5% bid deposit. While no specific budget is explicitly stated, the detailed requirements suggest a significant investment in modernizing the correctional facility's emergency communication infrastructure.
