The City of Boston Public Facilities Department (PFD) has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to prequalify subcontractors and general contractors for the construction of a new 27,600 square foot police station in East Boston, Massachusetts. The RFQ seeks to identify qualified firms for various trade packages, including masonry, painting, elevators, roofing, HVAC, and electrical, with estimated costs ranging from $123,124 to $2,793,793. The overall estimated construction cost is $23,000,000, with a 104-week construction duration. Statements of Qualifications must be submitted by March 12, 2019, and prequalified contractors will then be invited to submit filed sub-bids and general bids. The evaluation criteria include the contractor's experience, financial capacity, and ability to meet workforce diversity requirements, including 25% minority, 10% female, and 50% Boston resident workforce hours.

The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Massachusetts General Laws, and contractors must provide a DCAMM Certificate of Eligibility, DCAMM Update Statement, and Sponsor Verification letter from the Department of Labor Standards to be considered for prequalification. The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and there is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The budget for the project is $23,000,000.
