Pinecrest Rock Formation Restoration

The Town of Holliston, Massachusetts solicited written quotes for the restoration of a historic rock formation at Hole 18 of Pinecrest Golf Club, with quotes due October 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., a deadline that has passed as of November 2, 2026. No set-aside, preference program, or local-vendor requirement appears in the source.

The work has two phases. Phase 1 is dry-stack stonemasonry that rebuilds collapsed or damaged sections of the rock pile without mortar, concrete, or external anchoring. Phase 2 covers coordination and installation of approximately 256 linear feet of 5-foot-tall commercial-grade three-rail metal fencing (about 31 sections and 32 concrete-set posts) with a 10-foot gate opening, plus heavy-duty weed matting and a crushed stone border in the buffer zone. Bidders must carry commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million annual aggregate, naming the Town as additional insured. All employees must complete at least ten hours of OSHA-approved construction safety and health training before starting work. Prevailing wages apply to all workers. Submitters must provide at least three references for similar work completed within the past five years.

Quotes must include an itemized bid price form with separate lines for rock formation restoration and fencing installation, plus signed Certifications of Good Faith and Non-Collusion, Labor Harmony and OSHA Training, and State Tax Compliance. Quotes must remain firm for ninety calendar days after the closing date. The Town will award to the lowest responsive and responsible submitter and reserves the right to reject any or all quotes. The successful bidder must execute the Town's Standard Form Agreement, which is subject to appropriation and enforceable only upon approval by a majority of the Select Board.

Questions on specifications were due October 16, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Written quotes were accepted at the Town Manager's Office or by email to keastj@holliston.k12.ma.us.
