North Main Street Sidewalk Improvements

This state and local contract opportunity is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the Town of West Boylston, Massachusetts for the North Main Street Sidewalk Improvements project in Worcester County's Ocean Grove CDP. The project involves the resurfacing of various streets, including sidewalk, curbing, and drainage improvements. The work must be completed by June 30, 2023, and sealed bids are due by 10:00 AM on April 14, 2023. Bidders must include a 5% bid deposit, and a mandatory site visit is highly recommended prior to bid submission. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, and the project is partially funded through the Massachusetts Chapter 90 Program, which allows for price adjustments on certain materials such as liquid asphalt and diesel fuel.

The IFB specifies that prevailing wage rates, MassDOT prequalification, and 50% performance and payment bonds are required. The bid items include earth excavation, gravel borrow, hot mix asphalt, and cement concrete sidewalk. While the IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, it does not provide any information on incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The available budget range for this project is not disclosed in the provided documents.
