OAK bluffs parks surveying services

The Oak Bluffs Parks Commission is seeking professional land surveying services through a competitive bid process for a municipal boundary assessment project in Dukes County, Massachusetts. The procurement, designated as Contract No. OB2025-04, aims to determine precise property lines of Oak Bluffs public parks to establish correct boundaries between public and residential lands and address potential encroachments. Qualified land surveyors must submit sealed bids by 2:00 PM on Thursday, April 24, 2025, to the Town Administrator's Office located at 56 School Street, PO Box 1327, Oak Bluffs, MA 02557. Interested contractors can obtain bid documents by emailing the procurement officer at wbrough@oakbluffsma.gov, with a key requirement being that bidders must be fully insured professionals capable of conducting comprehensive property line surveys. The procurement is being conducted under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 30B, Section 5, with the Town of Oak Bluffs reserving the right to cancel the invitation for bid or reject any submissions deemed not in the town's best interest.

The contract opportunity is structured as an equal opportunity and affirmative action procurement, indicating potential preferences for diverse or disadvantaged business enterprises. Only insured contractors are eligible to participate, and electronic submissions via email or fax will not be accepted, with physical sealed envelope submissions being the only valid method. No specific budget range or award value was explicitly stated in the documentation. Bidders must submit their proposals in sealed envelopes clearly marked "OAK BLUFFS PARKS SURVEYING SERVICES" to ensure proper handling and classification. The project appears to be a one-time surveying engagement focused on precise municipal land boundary documentation, with potential long-term implications for resolving property line discrepancies and preventing future encroachment issues in Oak Bluffs public park areas.
