MCL is seeking proposals from qualified subcontractors to provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract based on the construction documents dated December 13, 2023. The selection criteria emphasize project experience, team presentation, approach, and fees, with cost being a significant, but not sole, factor.

Proposals must be submitted through the designated system by March 6, 2024, with detailed assumptions and pricing provided. The scope of work will be executed in accordance with the provided construction documents, and interested firms can access the drawings and proposal materials via the MCL Pipeline Suite by contacting Leslie Keane. The project aims to assemble a team of experienced partners capable of delivering quality work within budget constraints, with the ultimate goal of supporting the university’s educational infrastructure. The contract is part of a broader procurement effort that includes various bids and proposals from other municipalities and organizations, highlighting a competitive environment focused on transparency and compliance with procurement policies.
