The Middleborough Gas & Electric Department (MGED) is seeking Trade Contractor Statements of Qualifications for a Construction Manager at Risk (CM at Risk) project located in Middleborough, Massachusetts. The procurement involves prequalifying trade contractors for 15 different work categories, with estimated construction costs ranging from $48,200 to $1,293,600. These categories include specialized trades such as masonry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and other critical construction disciplines. The project entails partial demolition and renovation of an existing electrical operations building, preserving the historical brick facade while constructing new offices and meeting rooms. Contractors must submit their qualifications by 11:00 am on Thursday, April 10, 2025, with work scheduled to begin in May 2025. Interested contractors can obtain the Request for Qualification (RFQ) by emailing bids@mged.com starting March 26, 2025, or by contacting Alexandra Golz at 508-947-1371 Ext. 106. The prequalification process will be managed by MGED's Trade Contractor Prequalification Committee, with only pre-qualified firms permitted to submit bids for specific work categories.

The project will be subject to Massachusetts Prevailing Wage Laws and procured through M.G.L. Chapter 149A, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises. The total estimated project cost is approximately $18,200,000, with a projected construction duration of 18 months. Key project team members include Daniel O'Connell's Sons as Construction Manager, Skanska USA Building Inc. as Owner's Project Manager (OPM), and Weston & Sampson Engineers, Inc. as the Project Designer.
