Project 7253 201 Rivermoor Street

The City of Boston Public Facilities Department is requesting qualifications (RFQ) for prequalified subcontractors on Project 7253 at 201 Rivermoor Street, with statements of qualifications due July 29, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. This is the second round of solicitation under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 149, Section 44D, following a first round in which fewer than three contractors were prequalified in the requested trade categories.

Two subcontractor trades are being solicited: Miscellaneous and Ornamental Iron (estimated cost $25,000) and Roofing and Flashing (estimated cost $1,600,000). The overall project construction estimate is $14,464,434. Scope includes installation of high-density shelving in Space 146; provision and installation of a loading dock lift with associated improvements; project-related signage for wayfinding and code compliance; and replacement of a roof area above Room 146, including demolition, repairs, and integration with the existing roofing system.

Prequalified respondents will advance to Phase II, an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for competitive bidding. Construction is scheduled to begin in early September 2026, running approximately 30 to 40 weeks. The timeline encompasses roofing work through late October, concurrent slab preparation and electrical work through late December, shelving procurement and installation through late February, and project closeout in March with collections returning in April 2027.

Submissions must include the required DCAMM Certificate, DCAMM Update Statement, and Commitment Letter. SOQs are accepted through the Trimble Unity Construct bidding portal or in-person delivery to the PFD Bid Counter at 26 Court Street, Boston. Questions are due July 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. The City expects to complete SOQ reviews by approximately August 29, 2026. Contact bid.info@boston.gov or (617) 635-4809 for inquiry.
