MWRA Contract No. 7389 Cottage Farm CSO Facility PCB Abatement

MWRA Contract No. 7389 for the Cottage Farm CSO Facility PCB Abatement is a state-level procurement under NAICS code 562910, with an estimated value of $8,932,000, aimed at the complete removal and abatement of PCB-containing materials at the 660 Memorial Drive site in Cambridge, Massachusetts. All work must be performed by contractors holding DCAMM certification in General Building Construction, Demolition, or Sewage and Water Treatment Plants, and participation is restricted to those registered on the MWRA Supplier Portal with valid Plan Holder status. Bidders must comply with mandatory MBE and WBE subcontracting participation goals of 7.24% and 3.6% respectively, with compliance tracked through documented subcontractor commitments rather than firm-level socioeconomic certifications. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the MWRA Supplier Portal by the general bid deadline of July 29, 2026, with a separate deadline of June 25, 2026, for filed sub-bids under Event #6663. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 4, 2026, and attendance requires prior registration with the designated contact. The contract does not specify detailed packaging, marking, labeling, or preservation protocols, nor does it reference federal military standards or include explicit line-item pricing, evaluation weights, or award methodologies. While the basis of award is not officially stated, the structure and heavy emphasis on mandatory compliance suggest a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach. Inspection and acceptance are implied to occur on-site at the facility by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, with no formal contract administration details such as payment office information, COR/COTR designation, or invoicing procedures provided. The solicitation omits explicit FAR clauses, contract type classification, options, OCI provisions, or special personnel requirements, placing primary emphasis on regulatory certification, portal-based submission, and subcontractor diversity compliance.
