North Hall Rot Repair & Painting

The Town of Huntington is soliciting bids for exterior rot repair and painting services at North Hall, located at 40 Searle Road in Huntington, Massachusetts. Interested contractors must submit a written response by 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, via email, mail, or in person, with all submissions clearly labeled with the project title. A mandatory site visit is required for eligibility, and responses must comply with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149, Sections 27 and 29, which mandate payment of prevailing wages and the posting of labor and material bonds. The Town is exempt from sales and use taxes, and contractors must exclude these taxes from their proposals. The contract is structured as a fixed-price agreement, with no estimated value provided, and the Town reserves the right to award the contract to the offeror deemed most advantageous to the municipality, even if not the lowest-priced bid, indicating a best-value trade-off approach rather than a purely cost-based selection. Performance will occur entirely on-site at North Hall, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Town at the location. No formal Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses are included in the solicitation; instead, state laws govern compliance, labor standards, and bonding requirements. There are no specified evaluation factors, scoring criteria, or weightings provided, and no details on contract duration, delivery schedule, or FOB terms. While attachments such as specifications and a sample contract are referenced, they are not included in the solicitation documentation. Submissions must follow administrative formatting rules, including proper email subject lines and physical labeling, but no technical packaging, labeling, or inspection standards beyond state compliance are outlined. The primary point of contact is Jennifer Peloquin, Town Administrator, and no Contracting Officer Representative or Contracting Officer is formally named. The solicitation does not require federal identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes, nor does it solicit socioeconomic certifications, reflecting its status as a local government procurement governed by Massachusetts law.
