27-03 RFP District Wide Assessment /Capital Plan

Maynard Public Schools is requesting proposals from qualified consulting firms to conduct a comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment and develop a Twenty-Year Capital Improvement Plan for all district-owned school facilities and associated site infrastructure, with proposals due September 8, 2026. Amendment 1 to RFP 27-03 was issued August 12, 2026 and modifies the original solicitation; proposers must acknowledge receipt of the amendment in their submissions, and its terms supersede conflicting language in the base RFP.

The scope encompasses detailed assessments of structural integrity, mechanical and electrical systems, accessibility compliance, and site conditions across all school properties. Deliverables include comprehensive assessment reports, capital planning documentation, and phased improvement recommendations that will inform the District's facility investment decisions and potential future bond referendums or grant applications.

The District plans to conduct site visits and a bidders' conference to allow proposers to examine facilities and clarify requirements. Evaluation will be based on qualifications, experience with similar projects, and proposed methodology. The contract term extends twenty years to align with the planning horizon.

Questions and responses posted August 12, 2026 provide clarifications on project scope, assessment methodologies, capital plan components, and submission requirements; the Q&A document addresses inquiries on assessment standards, reporting formats, stakeholder engagement approaches, and evaluation factors.

No specific budget allocation or contract value is stated in the source materials. The District may have established set-asides for minority-owned or women-owned businesses under Massachusetts procurement regulations. Successful proposers must demonstrate ability to deliver comprehensive assessment reports and planning documentation that will serve as the foundation for the District's twenty-year facility strategy.
