Pursuant to G.L. c. 149A, the Middleborough Gas and Electric Department (MGED) is soliciting proposals from Construction Management at-Risk (CM at-Risk) firms for the construction of a new 12,500 s.f. Customer Service Center and Electric Operations Building. Proposals will only be accepted from firms that submitted Statements of Qualifications for the project under a previous advertisement and were pre-qualified by the Pre-Qualification Committee.

The project involves the renovation of the existing building located at 37 Wareham Street, Middleborough, MA and the construction of two building additions. In sum, MGED seeks to:

construct a new single-story building to house the electric operations facilities, including the substation and grid management facilities, locker rooms, and materials stockroom and a loading dock; and
construct a two-story transition building linking the historic building with the new electric operations building with office spaces, conference rooms, and clerestory lights that will provide vertical transportation between the existing and new buildings. Site improvements include, but are not limited to, new driveways and parking lots, security fencing, and landscaping.

The estimated value of the CM at-Risk contract is $17,000,000.

The Scope of Work includes:

Preconstruction Phase: Reviewing and recommending schedule changes, reviewing design and construction documents, preparation of cost estimates and performing value engineering estimates, leading project meetings, participating in reviews, preparing scope of work and procurement assistance, and developing a tracking system;

Construction Phase: Supervising all work, monitoring and managing trade contractors and subcontractors, implementing procedures and developing and implementing a change order control system, establishing and implementing quality control and safety programs, recordkeeping, preparing various reports; scheduling, verifying completion and compliance, preparing punch lists, BIM modeling, and commissioning; and

A copy of the Request for Proposals (RFP) may be obtained by sending an email to bids@mged.com, or by contacting Alexandra Golz, MGED at 508-947-1371 Ext. 106.
