This solicitation, numbered 613608-135134 and issued by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, solicits bids for construction and traffic control services associated with highway operations in District 6, Massachusetts. The work involves the installation, operation, and removal of temporary safety equipment including reflectorized drums with sequential flashing lights, milled rumble strips conforming to Type A–D geometries, and related pavement marking activities, all in accordance with MassDOT’s Standard Specifications for Highways and Bridges and applicable supplemental specifications. The only fully defined pricing is for a fixed lump sum of $77,500 for Schedule of Operations (Type A), with additional line items listed for items such as load centers, arrow boards, traffic cones, and drums, though their unit and extended prices are incomplete. The contract is expected to be awarded using a best value trade-off approach, weighing price against non-price factors including performance quality, safety, schedule adherence, and compliance with socio-economic goals. Bidders must be registered with MassDOT with an approved Digital ID and bidding authorization, and must submit proposals electronically via www.bidx.com by the deadline of August 25, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. No paper submissions are permitted. The contract imposes rigorous requirements for Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise (SDVOBE) participation, mandating submission of a Schedule of Participation, certification documents, and use of the EBO Solution system for reporting. Contractors must ensure prompt payment to M/WBE/SDVOBE subcontractors within 10 days of receiving payment, and failure to meet participation goals may result in payment withholding, contract suspension, or termination. Compliance with material specifications such as ASTM D4956 Type VIII for reflective sheeting, MEC, and 700 CMR 13.00 is required, along with specific marking and preservation standards including 10-mil polyethylene sheeting for soil stockpiles and stainless steel-labeled electrical enclosures. The contract references necessary attachments including joint venture agreements, corporate authorization documents, and supporting certifications, and requires unique entity ID or CAGE code submission, though no formal FAR clauses are included — obligations are governed by MassDOT-specific forms and directives. No named contracting officers, payment offices, or invoicing systems are specified, and the period of performance is defined by actual work commencement and completion dates rather than fixed timelines.
