SS 2027 PW1 Addenda 1 - 9.11.26.pdf

This is Addenda #1 to an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) on behalf of the South Shore Regional Services Consortium, representing twelve Massachusetts municipalities: Braintree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hanover, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Milton, Norwell, Pembroke, Rockland, and Scituate. The addendum, issued September 11, 2026, addresses a formatting error in the original bid price form and directs all bidders to complete their submissions using the corrected "SS 2027 PW1 - Bid Price Form - Addenda 1." The original procurement solicits bids for public works services and materials across four categories: Roadway Surface Treatments (microsurfacing, emulsion with latex chip seal, and asphalt rubber surface treatment); Pavement Markings (thermoplastic, water-base paint, and epoxy resin); Street Sweeping; and Sidewalk Construction, Reconstruction & Resurfacing. The contract term extends through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year extensions available. Bids are due October 8, 2026, at 4:00 PM via CommBUYS, with public opening conducted via Zoom. The estimated first-year contract value is $5.957 million, with annual breakdowns of $4.485 million for roadway surface treatments, $591,081 for pavement markings, $84,000 for street sweeping, and $796,585 for sidewalk work.

Pricing is structured on a unit-price basis per square yard for surface treatments, per linear foot for installations, per ton for asphalt materials, and hourly rates for equipment rental. All contractors must hold current MassDOT prequalification in their specific work class or appear on a MassDOT waiver contractor bid list as of bid opening, and all work must comply with Massachusetts prevailing wage laws. Bidders must submit a 5 percent bid deposit as surety bond or certified check, along with performance bonds and Labor & Materials Payment bonds of at least 50 percent of estimated contract value. Comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance are required. Low bidders are subject to a 1 percent MAPC contract administration fee on total invoiced amounts. Pricing remains firm except for permitted adjustments to diesel fuel, gasoline, liquid asphalt, Portland cement concrete, and steel costs per MassDOT indices. Microsurfacing work includes a two-year performance warranty. All contractors must comply with MassDOT Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges, MUTCD standards, and ASTM testing requirements. Individual contracts execute between each participating municipality and the low bidder, with each municipality retaining acceptance or rejection authority.
