High School Ropes Course Labor Only

Wayland Public Schools is soliciting lump sum bids for labor, equipment, and installation services to assemble an outdoor ropes course at Wayland High School in Wayland, Massachusetts. The project involves the removal of existing tree-mounted high elements and the installation of an owner-furnished system, which includes excavating and setting six utility poles, installing 17 helical-style ground anchors, and 17 guy wires. All work must comply with ACCT standards and manufacturer specifications, with a required performance period starting from an anticipated notice to proceed on October 28, 2026, through a completion date of December 18, 2026. The independent estimate for the contract is approximately 45,000 dollars. This is a Massachusetts public works project governed by M.G.L. c. 30 and M.G.L. c. 149, requiring the payment of prevailing wages and the submission of weekly certified payroll reports. Because the contract exceeds 25,000 dollars, the successful contractor must provide a payment bond for at least 50 percent of the total contract price. All onsite employees must have completed a minimum 10-hour OSHA construction safety and health training course. Awarding will be based on the apparent low responder, subject to a responsibility evaluation of their experience, insurance, bonding capacity, safety program, and ability to coordinate with the proprietary course supplier. Final acceptance is contingent upon a successful inspection and written approval from the Awarding Authority.
