Painting Services

The City of Brockton Building Department is soliciting quotes for on-call painting services at various city buildings during FY27, with quotes due August 19, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. This is a prevailing wage project subject to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149, Sections 26-27H, which filters bidders to those able to meet wage-rate and payroll-documentation requirements.

The scope encompasses painting walls, ceilings, woodwork, and exterior surfaces at multiple city locations on an on-call basis from September 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and insurance and respond on-site within one business day of initial contact; vendors must submit evidence of this capability with their quote. Vendors must demonstrate at least five years of experience on similar projects, with preference given to work in municipal building settings, and provide three references of comparable scope with contact information. All employees must complete 10 hours of OSHA-approved training. Material costs require original invoices from trade suppliers with a 10 percent overhead markup allowed; no travel charges, mileage, or truck charges are permitted.

The project budget is estimated between $10,000 and $50,000. Evaluation is based on hourly rates for painter services during standard Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. operations multiplied by 100 hours; rates for nights, weekends, and holidays are contractually binding but do not factor into the low-bid determination and shall not exceed 1.5 times the standard rate. Quotes exceeding $25,000 require a 50 percent payment bond from an acceptable surety company. The awarded contractor must provide a Certificate of Insurance naming the City as co-insured and additional insured and submit weekly certified payroll reports to the Building Department at 45 School Street, 3rd Floor, Brockton, Massachusetts prior to invoice payment. Questions are due August 12, 2026 at 4:30 p.m.
