RE-advertisement for elevators contractor request for qualifications

The Town of North Attleborough School Building Committee is soliciting qualifications from elevator contractors pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 149A, Section 8 for elevator installation services at the new North Attleborough High School Project. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) represents the first phase of a two-phase procurement process designed to pre-screen qualified contractors before the subsequent Request for Bids phase. The scope of work includes installation of one passenger elevator and a vertical platform lift as part of early site enabling work for the new three-story, 226,740 gross square foot high school facility designed to serve 1,025 students in grades 9-12. Qualified contractors must possess a DCAMM Certificate and demonstrate experience, capabilities, and competency to perform elevator work meeting the technical and professional standards required for the project. The RFQ was posted on March 25, 2026, after 10:00 a.m. via www.Projectdog.com (Project Code 872791), with a submission deadline of April 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.; all responses must be submitted electronically through Projectdog.com with no hard copies accepted, and statements of qualifications previously submitted under the original advertisement need not be resubmitted. The project pursues LEED Gold certification and targets Net-Zero ready construction, with an estimated total construction cost of $220 million and an estimated construction duration of 36 months. The Owner's Project Manager is The Vertex Companies, LLC (primary contact: Laureen Westman, 617-477-7995, OPMprocurement@vertexeng.com), the Construction Manager is Consigli Construction Inc., and the Project Designer is Dore + Whittier.

Only prequalified General and Trade firms authorized by the Awarding Authority and possessing a DCAMM Certificate will be invited to submit bids for the building project, restricting participation to contractors who meet these specific qualification thresholds. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the available documentation, nor are any incumbent vendors or current contractors identified. No public opening of responses will occur, and the list of responders will be posted on Projectdog following the qualification review period. Pricing information, set-aside provisions, funding sources, and detailed contract terms will be established in the subsequent Request for Bids phase following the selection of qualified contractors from this qualification round. The estimated total construction cost of $220 million provides context for the overall project budget, though specific award values or budget allocations for the elevator trade package are not detailed in the RFQ materials.
