Project Description

RFQualifications # 2236-02 Construction Management at Risk Services – Franklin Field Envelope and Mechanical Upgrades

Firms interested in providing Public Construction Manager at Risk Services (“CM” or “CM at Risk”) for the Project are invited to submit a Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”) to the Boston Housing Authority (“BHA” or “Owner”). This Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) is the first phase of a two-phase procurement process as set forth in MGL Chapter 149A. Only those respondents deemed qualified will be invited to submit a Proposal in response to a detailed Request for Proposals (“RFP”) which will be issued in the second phase of the procurement process. The project delivery method for construction will be public CM at Risk with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) under M.G.L. Chapter 149A.

The construction project offers CM firms an opportunity to participate in the first networked geothermal project in the City of Boston, a partnership between the Boston Housing Authority and National Grid. The CM scope of work is principally related to the building interiors, but will critically enable public housing tenants the ability to access geothermal heating and cooling.

The Franklin Field Development is a residential community located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, adjacent to Franklin Field. Constructed in 1954 and modernized in 1986, the development consists of 346 units across 19 three-story walk-up buildings, supported by a central steam heating plant. This proposal focuses on critical improvements to only Buildings 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and13, which contain a total of 129 units.

The estimated construction cost of the project is $43 million. The deadline to submit the SOQ will be January 14, 2025 at 5:00 PM. Complete details and submission instructions can be found in the RFQ. The RFQ is available to download through https://www.bostonhousing.org/en/Bid-Opportunities/Current-Bid-Opportunities.aspx ; email queries regarding this RFQ may be directed to bids@bostonhousing.org.
