This Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) is issued pursuant to M.G.L. c. 149, § 44D½. Firms interested in providing General Contractor services for the construction of the project described in Section I and Section II (“the Project”) MUST submit a Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”) in response to this RFQ to the Awarding Authority as instructed in Section III and Section VIII, herein. The General Contractor selection process for this Project is a two-phase process as set forth in M.G.L. c. 149, § 44D½. The project delivery method for construction will be under M.G.L. c. 149. The Awarding Authority is prequalifying firms interested in providing General Contractor services for the Project through this RFQ prequalification process. Participation in the IFB Bidding Phase of this Project will be limited to ONLY those General Contractor firms who have submitted a SOQ (and required supporting documentation) in response to this RFQ and that have been deemed prequalified by the Awarding Authority. General Contractors that fail to respond to this RFQ and submit a SOQ with the required supporting documentation by the Submission Deadline set forth in Section I and General Contractors that have not been deemed prequalified by the Awarding Authority shall be automatically disqualified from bidding on this Project. The Awarding Authority is prequalifying General Contractors and Subcontractors for this Project. Therefore, responses to this RFQ will be considered ONLY for the prequalification of General Contractors that, if deemed prequalified will be invited to submit a bid pursuant to M.G.L. c. 149, § 44E. Any contractor seeking to be prequalified as both a General Contractor and Subcontractor for a particular filed sub-bid trade(s) shall be required to file separate responses to BOTH this RFQ and the RFQ issued to prospective filed sub-bidders for this Project.
