Request for Qualifications

This contract involves a two-phase procurement process initiated by the Dracut Water Supply District for the construction of a 2.65 million gallons per day PFAS Water Treatment Plant at the Tyngsborough Wellfield WTP site in Massachusetts. The first phase, governed by a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), seeks to prequalify general contractors and subcontractors based on specific criteria, including experience, bonding capacity, and performance history. The RFQ, posted on October 23, 2025, requires interested firms to submit their Statements of Qualifications by November 20, 2025. Prequalified firms will then be invited to participate in the second phase, which involves submitting bids in response to a forthcoming Request for Proposal (RFP), expected to be issued around January 15, 2026. The project scope encompasses various trades such as masonry, painting, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and other subcontracted work necessary for the water treatment plant's construction. The contract value is estimated to range between 5 million and 15 million dollars. Interested firms must provide a valid DCAMM certification, demonstrate recent performance, and secure bonding for the full construction cost. The RFQ package is accessible electronically through Tighe & Bond’s website, with registration required for download. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Michael Sheu, reachable via email or phone. This procurement process aims to ensure that only qualified and capable firms participate in the subsequent bidding phase, facilitating the successful delivery of this critical water infrastructure project.
