Bare Cove Park, Building 12 Demolition Project

The demolition of Building 12 at Bare Cove Park in Hingham, Massachusetts, is being conducted to clear the site for the upcoming Pickleball Court project, with bids solicited under solicitation number BCPDEMP-#1226 and a response deadline of August 26, 2026. All bidders must be certified in demolition by the Massachusetts Department of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, and the contract is subject to state labor laws including M.G.L. c. 149 §§44A-J and §§26–27H, which govern public works bidding, prevailing wage rates, and contractor compliance. The Town of Hingham, acting through its Town Administrator and Select Board as the Awarding Authority, retains the right to reject any or all bids, waive minor procedural irregularities, and award the contract based on the best interest of the municipality. Compliance with Massachusetts prevailing wage laws is mandatory, requiring contractors and subcontractors to submit detailed Weekly Certified Payroll Reports and Weekly Statements of Compliance, documenting hours worked by classification, accurate wage payments, and adherence to the official wage schedule. The project enforces workforce participation goals of 15.3% for minority workers and 6.9% for women, with all submissions including company and project details, apprenticeship information, and signed attestations of compliance. Owner-operators seeking exemption from prevailing wage obligations must complete a certification form affirming their status as sole owners, but must still pay prevailing wages if any employees are hired. All payroll records must be retained for at least three years, and reports must be submitted weekly to the Town’s Procurement and Contracts Manager, David Sequeira, at the provided contact information. The project is governed entirely under Massachusetts state law and enforced by the Town of Hingham’s Recreation department, with performance taking place at Bare Cove Park, Hingham, MA 02043.
