The MEDFORD HOUSING AUTHORITY, the Awarding Authority, invites sealed bids

from Contractors for the Phase III Envelope Modernizations at (AMP-1) at Willis Avenue

in Medford, Massachusetts, in accordance with the documents prepared by

HELENE·KARL ARCHITECTS, INC.

The Project consists of but not limited to:

Demolition of existing wood fiber clapboard siding, shingle siding and building paper down

to existing exterior wall sheathing. Installation of new vinyl windows, window shades, and

fiber-cement clapboard siding & shingles including solid PVC trim. Replacement of

existing gutters and downspouts, drip edge, roof fascia and soffit. Repainting existing

columns and porch rails. There are two types of buildings (A & B).

The Base Bid shall include two (2) A type buildings (6 units) and two (2) type B buildings

(4 units). Note: While not tested, proceed with the Work as if the window subframe, and

the wood shingle siding (under the wood fiber siding) contain lead paint and follow the

protocols noted on drawing R-101 (Lead Paint Notes).

Bids are subject to the Federal Davis Bacon Wage Determination (only). The work to be

performed under the contract is subject to the requirements of Section 3 of the Housing

and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u) as well as additional HUD forms

and Equal Employment requirements, as set forth in the project manual.

This project is being funded with federal financial assistance and therefore subject to the

domestic content procurement preference requirements set forth in Title IX of the

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Pub.L.117-58, §§ 70901 et seq. (“Build

the construction using BidDocs’ construction software. This is a contractual requirement;
