The City of Boston's Public Facilities Department (PFD) is seeking bids for the Mather School Envelope project located in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The procurement is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for comprehensive envelope corrective works, including masonry work, window replacements, and associated site improvements. Specific trade sub-bids are required for Electrical Work, HVAC, Masonry Work, Metal Windows, Plumbing, Waterproofing, Damp-proofing, and Caulking, with a general bid for Building Construction also solicited. Bidders must possess a DCAMM Certificate of Eligibility and Submit an accompanying Update Statement. Critical procurement dates include a pre-bid meeting on September 23, 2025, at 8:00 am, with questions accepted until September 26, 2025, at noon. Filed sub-bids are due October 02, 2025, and general bids are due October 16, 2025. All bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and will be subject to prevailing wage requirements.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit bids either in person at the Bid Counter (2 Center Plaza, Suite 700, Boston, MA) or electronically through the Trimble Unity Construct online bidding portal. The total project duration is estimated at 362 days, with successful bidders required to provide performance and labor/materials payment bonds for 100% of the contract price. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the envelope corrective works suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure rehabilitation. The project will involve significant construction and renovation work at the Mather School site, focusing on critical building envelope improvements that likely aim to enhance the facility's structural integrity, energy efficiency, and overall functionality.
