DCR828 Rynne Day Use Site Renovation P25-3586-D1A

The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is seeking proposals for professional services to renovate the Rynne Day Use Area at Lowell Heritage State Park in Middlesex County. The project scope includes landscape architecture, surveying, civil engineering, structural engineering, ecology/wetlands science, and cultural resource assessment. The key objectives are to create a safe and welcoming park with passive and active recreation components, convert the existing "beach" area into a splash pad with a playground, widen sidewalks, add native shade trees, renovate a small parking lot, and restore the landscape. Proposals must demonstrate understanding of the project, qualifications of the consultant team, experience, schedule feasibility, and cost. A pre-proposal site walk is scheduled for July 25, 2024, and proposals are due electronically by August 20, 2024, with hard copies due by August 21, 2024. The anticipated award date is September 23, 2024.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, but vendors must be registered on Commbuys, the Massachusetts statewide electronic procurement system, to submit a response. The RFP does not commit DCR to approve a Statement of Work or pay any costs incurred in the preparation of proposals, and DCR reserves the right to accept or reject any and all quotes and to contract with some, all, or none of the responding vendors. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding details are provided in the available documents.
