DCR 967 Pool & Waterfront Supplies & Equipment & Maintenance & Repair Service

The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has established a Master Service Agreement (MSA) under solicitation BD-26-1020-DCRWS-DC700-118489 to procure waterfront, pool, and lifeguard supplies and equipment, as well as related maintenance and repair services. This multi-award rate contract is designed to support the safe operation of DCR-managed waterfronts, swimming pools, wading pools, and spray decks across Massachusetts. The agreement spans a duration of 5.5 years, ending March 31, 2031, with an estimated annual value of approximately $170,000, totaling an estimated base value of $935,000. Vendors can bid on two distinct categories: the purchase of safety and operational equipment, such as rescue tubes, AEDs, and first aid kits, or the provision of maintenance and repair services. The procurement process emphasizes best value, incorporating evaluation factors such as environmental sustainability, the use of recycled materials, and participation in the Supplier Diversity Program. Awarded vendors, including Poolweb LLC and Heritage Pool Supply dba Recreonics, must comply with Commonwealth standards, including the submission of a Prompt Pay Discount form and a Massachusetts Substitute W-9. Contract administration is managed by the Bureau of Pool and Waterfront Safety, with payments processed through the state's MMARS system via Electronic Funds Transfer. The contract allows for rolling enrollment, enabling the state to add pre-qualified vendors throughout the performance period.
