General Contractor Prequalification Services â? ? Town of Boylston New Fire Headquarters

The Town of Boylston, Massachusetts is requesting qualifications for general contractor prequalification services for a new Fire Headquarters facility, with qualifications due September 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through COMMBUYS. This is a prequalification phase preceding a competitive bidding process; only prequalified contractors will receive the RFP with full bid documents.

The scope covers general contracting services for the design and construction of a new fire headquarters facility. Specific project costs, site, and detailed specifications are contained in the complete RFQ package available through COMMBUYS, which is the exclusive distribution and submission channel for all procurement documents and updates.

Following the September 24 qualification deadline, the Town and its project management entity (Colliers Project Leaders) will conduct owner and general contractor reviews with a prequalification committee through November 6, 2026. Clarification questions are permitted November 5–6, with the final question deadline set for November 30. The Town recommends that at least 2–3 weeks elapse between prequalification approval and bid submission to allow contractors adequate time to price the work. The approved RFP with bid documents will be issued to prequalified bidders on November 13, 2026, followed by a pre-bid conference on November 19, 2026. General contractor bids are due January 8, 2026, with an anticipated Notice to Proceed on or about January 19, 2026. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all responses, waive informalities, and select the submission determined to be in the best interest of the agency. All interested firms must monitor COMMBUYS for updates, addenda, and additional procurement information throughout the process.
