The Ipswich Housing Authority has issued solicitation BD-27-2056-IPHA-IPHA-132669 for the replacement of two existing Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) air handling units and their corresponding outdoor units. Located at Ipswich House in Ipswich, Massachusetts, the project scope includes the removal and replacement of the units, cleaning of existing ductwork, and the installation of new electrical circuitry. The estimated project cost is $98,220.00. This procurement is governed by Massachusetts General Laws, specifically M.G.L. c.149 §§26 to 27H and §44A, rather than standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses. Consequently, the contract emphasizes state statutory compliance, including prevailing wage requirements and mandatory workforce participation benchmarks of 6.9% women and 15.3% minorities. Bidders are required to submit proposals electronically through the biddocs.com platform, as hard copy submissions will not be accepted. The deadline for response is September 4, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT. A bid deposit of 5% of the greatest possible bid amount is required. While the administrative place of performance is listed in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, the actual physical work will be performed at the Ipswich House site. Technical design documents were prepared by Rogue Engineering and Design, and interested parties must register as electronic bidders on the designated portal to access full contract documents and participate in the required pre-bid conference.
