Request for Qualifications for Trade Contractors for Salt Shed Replacement Project

The City of Cambridge is seeking the prequalification of Trade Contractors for the Salt Shed Replacement Project, which involves the new construction of a public building structure. This project utilizes a Public Construction Manager at Risk delivery method with a guaranteed maximum price. The anticipated construction schedule runs from March 2027 through November 2027, with a Notice to Proceed expected on February 10, 2027. Preference is given to firms with experience in projects costing $4M or more, specifically those involving contaminated soils or sites located within active public parks and adjacent to residential neighborhoods. To be prequalified, contractors must submit a Trade RFQ Interest Form (Form 1) followed by a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) package including Form 3 and Schedules A through M. Prequalification is determined by a point-based scoring system requiring a minimum total of 70 points, with specific minimums in management experience, references, and capacity to complete the project. Mandatory non-scored requirements include a three-year workers' compensation modifier history, a valid DCAMM Sub-bidder Certificate of Eligibility, and a Sub-bidder Update Statement. Additionally, applicants must certify they are not debarred from public work and have not engaged in collusion.
