The authority issues this solicitation as owner and managing agent for its affiliate properties, and the award goes to the lowest responsive, responsible, and eligible bidder. No set-aside or preference program applies.

Eligible contractors must have operated as a corporation or company for at least five years and must submit a Certificate of Eligibility and Update Statement (DCAMM Forms CQ7 and CQ3) with the General Bid. The work covers weekly pick-ups at eleven sites, with frequency dependent on development size as set out in the Price Sheet.

Bids are subject to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 30B, Section 5, Chapter 149, Sections 44A through 44J, and prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon wage determination rates included in the Contract Documents.

The not-to-exceed contract value is $750,000 over a term of three years or until funds are fully expended, whichever occurs first. Bid deposits equal 5% of the not-to-exceed value, delivered as a certified check, bid bond, or equivalent from a responsible bank or trust company. The successful bidder must furnish Payment and Performance Bonds, each at 100% of the contract value. Bid prices remain firm for thirty days after bid opening. Award is subject to approval by the Cambridge Housing Authority's Board of Commissioners and availability of appropriate funds.
