Civil Engineering and Surveying Services

Blackstone Valley Vocational Regional School District is soliciting quotations for civil engineering and supplemental land surveying services for the Campus Expansion & Utilization Project at 65 Pleasant Street, Upton, Massachusetts under Massachusetts Statewide Contract PRF69, with quotations due October 14, 2026 by 12:00 PM. The Prime Consultant must be an active vendor under PRF69 Category 1 – Civil Engineering, with surveying services provided by Massachusetts-licensed professionals either in-house or through approved subconsultants.

The scope includes existing-condition review, supplemental field survey work, conceptual site layout preparation, civil and site plan development for Town of Upton Planning Board approval, and Planning Board support. The project involves a new pre-engineered metal storage building with a minimum of approximately 3,000 square feet on the existing 28.90-acre school property. Deliverables include signed and sealed survey documents, civil and site plans, updated existing-conditions base plans, site plan approval packages, supporting calculations, and CAD files.

The anticipated professional services budget ranges from $25,000 to $35,000, with compensation structured as Time and Materials with a negotiated Not-to-Exceed amount. The contract term is not specified in the source. A non-mandatory pre-proposal site walkthrough is scheduled for October 2, 2026 at 10:00 AM. Questions are due October 7, 2026 by 3:00 PM.

Quotations will be evaluated on a best-value basis considering the consultant's understanding of the assignment, ability to coordinate services efficiently, qualifications and experience of proposed staff, proposed schedule, staffing levels and hourly rates, and overall value to the district. Proposals must include detailed Time and Materials staffing information, task-by-task cost breakdowns, proposed Not-to-Exceed amounts, relevant project experience, and identified assumptions and exclusions. Planning Board legal advertising, municipal peer-review costs, and application fees are excluded from the consultant's Not-to-Exceed unless specifically authorized in writing.
