OceanSpray Project

The state and local contract opportunity posted by the state of Massachusetts relates to construction services to perform modifications to the assembly at the Ocean Spray facility in Middleborough, Plymouth County. Middleborough Gas & Electric Department (MGED) is seeking proposals through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the construction, installation, and commissioning/tie-in support of new piping and equipment at the existing meter site. The project is being overseen by Cornerstone Energy Services, Inc., who has been contracted by MGED to provide engineering and procurement services. Bidders must notify MGED of their intent to submit a proposal by January 11, 2022, with proposals due by January 19, 2022 at 11 AM. The selected contractor will be responsible for transporting materials provided by MGED, as well as providing all other labor and materials necessary to complete the project, which must be substantially finished by March 25, 2022.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There are no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors. The project appears to be fully funded by MGED, but the RFP does not provide any details on the award value or budget range. Bidders are required to provide a bid deposit equal to 5% of the contract value and a 50% payment bond, but the RFP does not disclose the overall contract value.
