Based on the SOQs received in this Phase I, the Steamship Authority will select respondents it deems to be prequalified in accordance with the criteria set forth in the RFQ. The Steamship Authority anticipates notifying respondents whether or not they are prequalified for this project by November 29, 2023. In Phase II, the prequalified respondents will be invited to submit filed sub-bids in response to an IFB which the Steamship Authority anticipates will be issued on or about December 1, 2023. The Steamship Authority is prequalifying the following FSB trades for this project (with estimated costs as indicated): Masonry Work ($2,278,000); Miscellaneous & Ornamental Iron ($1,371,000); Waterproofing, Damp-proofing and Caulking ($365,000); Roofing & Flashing ($1,051,000); Glass & Glazing ($2,314,000); Tile ($47,000); Acoustical Tile ($491,000); Resilient Floors ($11,000); Painting ($66,200); Elevators ($170,000); Fire Protection ($184,500); Plumbing ($755,000); HVAC ($2,373,000); Electrical ($2,916,000).

The project includes the construction of two new buildings - a new terminal building, approximately 7,000 gross square feet in size; and a new utility building, approximately 9,000 gross square feet in size. The site of the project is located at the Foot of Railroad Avenue, Woods Hole, MA 02543.

At the time a FSB firm submits its SOQ it must have a DCAMM Certification in the Trade Contractor Category for which it is seeking to be prequalified and submit a copy of its Certificate of Eligibility and Update Statement with its SOQ. See statement for the required Update Form. This required SOQ is different from DCAMM Certification; all FSB firms must be prequalified with the Steamship Authority for this project, even if the FSB firm is already DCAMM Certified in the trade category for which it is applying. The successful respondent must be able to obtain bonding for the estimated construction cost of the sub-trade work. All further public notice information regarding this project, including the prequalification evaluation criteria and selection process, is included in the RFQ, which is available to interested subcontractors as set forth above. 9315346
