Water pump replacement project

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is seeking sealed bids for the DPH25501 FT1 Water Pump Replacement Project at Tewksbury Hospital, located in Middlesex County. This public works contract involves a comprehensive replacement of the domestic water supply system in the main hospital building, with a total project estimated at $500,000. Plumbing contractors must hold current DCAMM (Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance) certification, which is mandatory for contracts exceeding $100,000. A non-mandatory site walk-through is scheduled for March 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Saunders Building's main entrance, requiring pre-registration by March 14, 2025. Bidders must submit electronic sealed proposals through ProjectDog by 2:00 PM on April 3, 2025, with bid tabulations to be posted subsequently. The project timeline is set from March 24, 2025, to June 13, 2025, with all specification and drawing details available on www.Projectdog.com under Project Code 864222, accessible starting March 5, 2025. Potential bidders must submit questions and Request for Information (RFIs) by March 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM to Brittany Grant at Row Architects, with a copy to Bart Larkin, the Director of Facilities Management at Tewksbury Hospital.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the project does have specific certification requirements for bidders. The procurement appears open to qualified DCAMM-certified plumbing contractors capable of executing a comprehensive water supply system replacement. The project budget is approximately $500,000, which suggests medium-sized contractors with demonstrated expertise in hospital infrastructure renovation would be most suitable. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing contractors currently managing the hospital's water infrastructure. The electronic submission process through ProjectDog indicates a preference for technologically capable firms that can navigate online bidding platforms. Potential bidders are advised to carefully review all documentation on the ProjectDog website, as the bid documents emphasize obtaining all information, including potential addenda, exclusively through this platform.
