RFP OPM for Hanson Highway Facilities Building and Former Police station Renovation project

The Town of Hanson is soliciting proposals for an Owner's Project Manager (OPM) to oversee the construction of new Highway Facility Buildings and the renovation of a former police station at 797 Indian Head Street into an administrative office. The OPM will report to the Town Administrator and manage all project phases, including pre-design, design, bidding, construction, and post-construction. Key responsibilities include drafting RFPs for designers, reviewing cost estimates at 30, 60, and 90 percent completion, conducting bid solicitations, and performing on-site inspections to ensure compliance with building codes, ADA accessibility, and OSHA requirements. The total project is estimated to be completed by late fall 2027, with the OPM providing supervisory staff to ensure the project remains on schedule and within the estimated construction budget of 7.5 million dollars. Award selection is based on the most advantageous proposal, with a heavy emphasis on project management experience in Massachusetts over the last five years, design and construction oversight capabilities, and professional references. The Town will negotiate scope and fees with the highest-scoring proposer. Qualified candidates must be independent of any project designers or contractors and provide proof of general liability, workers compensation, professional liability, and errors and omissions insurance. Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope containing one signed original, five copies, and a PDF on a USB drive, including a cover letter, MCPPO certification, and a statement of financial stability. Payments will be made monthly based on the percentage of services completed for each project phase.
