The New Bedford Housing Authority (NBHA) is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive camera equipment replacement project across multiple residential properties in Massachusetts. The procurement involves removing existing Avigilon cameras and installing new cloud-based Avigilon camera systems at nine distinct locations, including Shawmut Village, Dottin Place, DeMedeiros I, Harwich Manor, Westlawn, Satellite Village, Presidential, Brickenwood, and Adams Street. Key deliverables include camera setup, cloud service activation, and complete system integration. Interested vendors must submit Requests for Information (RFIs) online by November 28, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, with sealed bids due on December 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST for a public online opening. A pre-bid conference and site visit are available by appointment only, and bidders must comply with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 149 prevailing wage requirements. The procurement is governed by specific technical specifications for cloud-based camera systems and requires vendors to demonstrate capability in camera installation and cloud service configuration.

The contract is subject to standard Massachusetts procurement regulations and does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The estimated project budget is $80,000, falling within the $50,000 to $150,000 bid range, with a required bid deposit of at least five percent of the maximum possible bid amount. Bidders must submit their deposit payable to the New Bedford Housing Authority and obtain bid forms and contract documents directly from Procurement Agent Kevin Rego via email at kevin.rego@nbha-ma.org. The existing infrastructure involves replacing current Avigilon cameras with a new cloud-based system, indicating a technology upgrade rather than an entirely new installation. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical proficiency with Avigilon cloud camera systems and the ability to perform installations across multiple residential housing locations while adhering to prevailing wage standards mandated by Massachusetts state law.
