M-02-27 Pump and Filter System for Training Tank

Bristol Community College is seeking sealed bids for the installation of a Pump and Filter System for a Training Tank at its Workforce Training Center located at 777 Elsbree Street, Fall River, Massachusetts, under Project No. M-02-27. The solicitation number is BD-27-1381-BCC01-BCCFR-131655, with bids due by August 5, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET, and must be submitted electronically via biddocs.com; hard copies are not accepted. The contract is governed by construction-specific articles and sections rather than standard FAR clauses, with performance tied to the project site and compliance with Massachusetts General Laws, the Massachusetts State Building Code, and manufacturer specifications. Work must include implementation of environmental control plans for humidity, noise, dust, and weather protection, along with adherence to strict inspection protocols by the Prime Designer, who acts as the Awarding Authority's representative. Acceptance occurs at the site following substantial and final completion, with punch lists used to address non-conforming items. The award will go to the lowest responsible and eligible bidder under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable framework, as mandated by Massachusetts law. Labor rates for trades such as Sprinkler Fitters and Laborers are specified, but no CLINs or contract value is disclosed, making total estimated cost unavailable. Contractors must comply with the Supplier Diversity Program, requiring affirmative certification of minority, women, and veteran business enterprise participation, along with weekly workforce reporting and recordkeeping to meet mandated participation goals of 6.9% women and 15.3% minorities. All personnel must hold OSHA 10-hour safety training, and contractors are responsible for insurance, indemnification, and removal of unsatisfactory workers. The contract is subject to appropriation, with payment issued through applications certified by the Prime Designer, but no remittance details, invoicing system, or accounting codes are provided. No packaging, marking, or FOB terms are specified, and delivery must occur at the designated site. Any modifications must be formalized through written change orders, and all submittals—including shop drawings, product data, and warranties—must be consolidated into single PDF files with contractor approval stamps.
