PRF69 CAT 11 engineering services for the study of water system tewksbury state hospital

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is seeking a pre-qualified engineering firm with extensive experience in potable water projects to conduct a comprehensive study and develop solutions for the drinking water system serving the Tewksbury State Hospital campus in Middlesex County. The study phase is expected to last 3 months, with the possibility of further development of the preferred solution in a subsequent phase. The current scope includes services for the initial study phase through the evaluation of alternatives, including evaluating the water system's infrastructure, quality, and potential treatment options. Proposals will be evaluated based on the firm's profile and experience, diversity and inclusion materials, proposed approach and work plan, and pricing, with price being a consideration but not the sole determining factor. The response must include a cover sheet, firm profile, relevant experience, project approach, work plan, and pricing. The deadline for submissions is February 18, 2021.

While the procurement documents do not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, the Commonwealth notes that diversity and inclusion should be considered more thoughtfully in future solicitations, as it is a priority. The documents also do not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they provide any indication of the potential award value or budget range for this contract opportunity.
