The Town of Saugus is soliciting quotes under solicitation number BD-26-1322-PD001-TH01-134257 for exterior masonry water infiltration repairs at the Public Safety Building, specifically located at 27 Hamilton Street. The scope of work focuses on the Fire Department side of the building, specifically the exterior masonry wall below the Fire Chief's office.

The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, and disposal services while ensuring that Police and Fire operations remain fully functional throughout the project. The submission deadline for quotes is October 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM via the COMMBUYS portal and email to the Purchasing Department. This project is subject to Massachusetts Prevailing Wage requirements. Insurance requirements include 1 million dollars per occurrence for Commercial General Liability, 1 million dollars for Automobile Liability, and 1 million dollars for Umbrella/Excess Liability, with the Town of Saugus named as an additional insured. While no separate performance bond is required, a payment bond of at least 50 percent of the contract price is mandatory for public building repair contracts exceeding 25,000 dollars per M.G.L c149 section 29. Contractors must also acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 1 as part of their submission.
