AD Project #202611200 State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board Bedford, Billerica, etc.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), on behalf of the State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board, is requesting proposals for a ten-year lease of approximately 3,200 square feet of garage, office, and storage space in one of seventeen municipalities in the greater Boston area, with proposals due September 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a target occupancy date of October 1, 2026.

The lease space must accommodate the Board's East Middlesex and Suffolk integrated mosquito management program across six staff members: one Superintendent, one Entomologist, and one Operations Manager. DCAMM will consider properties between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet located in Bedford, Billerica, Burlington, Carlisle, Concord, Lexington, Lincoln, Needham, Newton, North Reading, Reading, Waltham, Wayland, Wellesley, Weston, Wilmington, or Woburn. The facility must include approximately 1,800 square feet of open garage space for four fleet vehicles with provisions for electric vehicle charging, a 100-square-foot locked pesticide storage room with automatic exhaust, and office spaces with full-height partitions, carpeting, and locking doors. Support areas include a main distribution frame room, restrooms (one with shower), and staff support areas. All space must comply with the detailed Space Allocation and Finish Schedule specifications, Massachusetts State Building Code, MAAB accessibility regulations, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Proposers must provide turnkey buildout including landlord improvements, HVAC, electrical, telecommunications, security, and accessibility features. The Commonwealth prefers a fully managed gross lease with landlord-provided operating expenses and taxes included. Pricing must be submitted as total annual rent for each year of the ten-year term. Proposals must address Commonwealth policy objectives including sustainability and decarbonization compliance under Executive Order 594. The Commonwealth will not award solely on price and reserves the right to negotiate with one or more proposers or reject all proposals. Site visits will be conducted for each competitive proposal.
