The Town of Scituate, Massachusetts is seeking a General Contractor for the Hatherly Elementary School Project, a comprehensive construction and demolition initiative under M.G.L. Chapter 149. The procurement involves constructing a new K-5 school building with an integral Pre-K, demolishing the existing 41,000 square foot Hatherly School building, and completing associated site work, parking, and fields. The project additionally encompasses demolition and remedial site work at the Cushing School site, including hazardous material abatement and demolition of the existing 41,000 square foot Cushing School building.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The project area spans approximately 106,084 square feet, with an estimated total project cost of $87 million. Notably, elevators represent the only bid category not requiring prequalification, which provides some flexibility for potential bidders. The project will utilize electronic bid submission through Projectdog and requires comprehensive documentation of contractor qualifications. Specific integration requirements are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, though the project involves significant demolition and new construction activities. Potential vendors should carefully review all project specifications and ensure compliance with Massachusetts procurement regulations and DCAMM certification requirements. The comprehensive nature of the project, involving both new construction and site remediation, suggests a complex procurement process that will require significant technical expertise and construction management capabilities.
