DCR 969 - Central Berkshire District Boundary Location and Demarcation, FY27

The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is soliciting electronic bids under Contract DCR969 (Commbuys Bid BD-27-1020-DCRFC-DC366-135330) for boundary location and demarcation across five Central Berkshire District state forests, with responses due November 27, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. No set-asides are specified in this solicitation.

The vendor will locate, sign, blaze, and paint existing boundaries in October Mountain, Peru, Worthington, Chesterfield, and Chester-Blandford State Forests, covering approximately 22.3 miles across four project clusters. The vendor will GPS-record all corners and submit ShapeFiles, annotations, and boundary maps to the Project Forester. The procedures govern the materials and methods: boundary paint applied with an eagle oiler, vinyl flagging, aluminum line-tree nails, aluminum boundary signs, a four-foot cleared corridor centered on each line, and corner monuments.

Bidders must submit a completed Bidder Response Form with total project costs for all four clusters and an estimated completion date. Partial bids are not considered, and bids without this form are rejected. Evaluation criteria are total project cost, references and previous experience with the Commonwealth, and the ability to complete all project areas by June 30, 2027, which is also the required completion date. Payment is a single lump-sum invoice per completed boundary project, issued after Project Forester quality-assurance approval.

Questions are due November 20, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., with answers posted by November 24, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The estimated award date is December 4, 2026. DCR reserves the right to reject any or all quotes, contract with some or all vendors, negotiate with respondents, or cancel the RFP in whole or in part.
