DESIGN, Renovation of the Trapelo & Baldwin Cottages

The State of Massachusetts is seeking proposals for the design of the renovation of the Trapelo and Baldwin Cottages. This procurement is for a design-only contract, with the construction work to be bid separately at a later date. The selected firm will be responsible for providing comprehensive design services, including development of construction documents, cost estimating, and specification writing. The key objectives of the project are to renovate the two cottages to extend their useful life and improve their functionality and accessibility. Qualified firms must demonstrate expertise in historic preservation design, as well as experience with residential renovations. Proposals are due by April 23, 2018, and the state may hold a pre-bid site visit prior to the due date.

This contract opportunity is open to any interested and qualified firms. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not identified any incumbent vendors for this work. The total budget for the design phase has not been disclosed, but the state anticipates awarding a fixed-price contract based on the selected firm's proposal. Interested firms should review the full solicitation documents for additional details on the scope of work, submittal requirements, and the evaluation criteria that will be used to select the winning proposal.
