The Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program, a unit of Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management, has to move from its current location, and so we are seeking to lease office space. This solicitation differs from a similar request made in late in 2018 in that it eliminates certain space requirements like a transaction window and water quality sample processing room and reduces the space needed.
Our search area includes the Towns of Fairhaven, Marion, Mattapoisett, and Wareham. The Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance is conducting a solicitation on our behalf, and invites proposals to lease approximately 1,300 usable square feet of office space in the above-referenced search area for a term of ten years. Proposals must be submitted to:
Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance
Office of Leasing and State Office Planning
One Ashburton Place
14th Floor – Room 1411
Boston, Massachusetts 02108
Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of May 1, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. Proposals will be opened at that time.
The Bid RFP can be downloaded from commbuys.com. This link contains the phone number and email address of the DCAMM contact. You may also email leasing.dcamm@state.ma.us or call 857-204-1355 to request a copy of the RFP, referencing Project Number 201921000.1, or call 857-204-1800. This public notice is available at masspublicnotices.org.
Please keep in mind that submission requirements include a floor plan that shows how the space will be built out to meet the bid specifications, and the costs of any needed modifications or remodeling need to be incorporated into the proposed rent. The bid specifications include a minimum of one private office within the floor plan, but if the existing space is already further partitioned with additional rooms, that can be acceptable if other requirements are met. Read the bid RFP at this link: commbuys.com. Late proposals will not be considered.
