Connelly Youth Center in Boston, with a due date of November 6, 2026. The procurement is designated a Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) small procurement.

Every improvement must include a carbon reduction or energy and water savings component unless the project manager directs otherwise. Respondents submit quotes electronically on COMMBUYS, with company information, a narrative for each task, special qualifications, and staffing plans with resumes. DCAMM provides reference documents, including boiler project files, as-builts, controls documentation, and utility data, as needed.
