Designer On Call Services

The Town of Avon, Massachusetts is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from architectural and engineering designers for on-call municipal construction and capital improvement work, with submissions due November 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and written questions due November 10, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Applicants must be legally qualified and appropriately licensed to provide services in Massachusetts, demonstrate 10 or more years of experience with Massachusetts municipal projects, and understand Massachusetts public construction procurement requirements, including M.G.L. c. 149. Applicants must also maintain required professional liability insurance and must not be suspended or debarred from public contracting.

Projects at Town Hall and the Council on Aging include roof renovations and replacements, HVAC upgrades, interior renovations, and facade and envelope repairs. The file also lists structural, electrical and plumbing, accessibility, fire and life-safety, energy-efficiency, and code-compliance work, building condition assessments, feasibility studies, and site improvements tied to municipal facilities. The Town anticipates an aggregate construction program of approximately $10 million over an anticipated three-year contract term. Individual projects will be authorized through written task orders that define scope, schedules, construction budgets, designer fees, reimbursable expenses, required consultants, and construction-phase services.

The Building Committee will evaluate qualifications and select at least three finalists, and it may interview top-ranked respondents. The committee will transmit rankings to the Select Board, which will request a fee proposal from the first-ranked designer to begin negotiations. Designer fees are excluded from the qualifications evaluation, and compensation negotiations follow selection in accordance with M.G.L. c. 7C, §§ 44–58. The RFQ does not commit the Town to select a respondent, award a contract, or reimburse response costs.

Submissions go to Jonathan Beder, Town Administrator, 65 East Main Street, Avon, MA 02322. Questions go to Anna McGunigle at P3 (amcgunigle@p-threeinc.com).
