Massachusetts Government Projects, RFPs & Agencies

The Chelmsford Parker School Building Committee voted on April 16, 2026 to select Option A2-2, a new construction grades 4–6 configuration on the existing Parker Middle School site, as the preferred option for the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) Preferred Schematic Report. Preliminary cost ranges for new construction options were presented between roughly 198800000 and 353800000, with A2-2 scoring highest on the committee’s evaluation matrix against educational, community, environmental, energy, and cost criteria. The team is now preparing a 500+ page PSR documenting feasibility, alternatives analysis, preferred solution, schedule, and budget to submit to MSBA by April 29, 2026, with Facilities Assessment Subcommittee review expected May 13 or 20 and schematic design submission targeted for October 2026. Local funding approval is anticipated at the 2027 Spring Town Meeting or a special Town Meeting, meaning detailed design, cost refinement, and project delivery strategy (including procurement methodology and building systems choices such as partial geothermal and solar for potential net-zero) will be developed over the next 12–18 months. For vendors in school construction, engineering, sustainability systems, commissioning, furniture/fixtures/technology, and community outreach or cost-estimating support, this is an early-stage but clearly defined major capital project where standards, systems, and bid packaging are still being shaped.

The CFREE working group discussed $250M in unused National Grid net metering credits, including $65M tied to public entities, and Rodman is seeking a partner to help pursue solutions. The group does not yet know how the public-entity portion can be accessed or monetized. This is an early-stage opportunity for energy consultants or utility advisors to help the town analyze eligibility, structure projects or PPAs, and navigate National Grid and state program rules.

Rodman specifically requested a partner to help pursue solutions around these credits and related ne...

Wilmington is advancing a new consolidated PreK-5 school (Option PK-5 N.1) for 755 elementary plus 100 Pre-K students on the North Intermediate site, selected as the preferred alternative in the MSBA feasibility study. A Preferred Schematic Report was submitted Oct 24, 2024, with schematic design to run through May 2025 and MSBA funding and local debt votes targeted by Fall 2025, and construction starting Summer 2027 with move-in Summer 2029. This is a large, multi-year capital build that will drive upcoming procurements for CM-at-Risk or DBB construction, site/civil work, technology, furniture, security, food service equipment, and specialized educational spaces.

Project includes a 12,000 SF gym, full-service kitchen, distributed special education spaces, STE an...

Wilmington acknowledges new cost estimates of up to $215.2 million for the Wildwood Building Project, far above the original OPM RFP range based on 2018-2020 data. The town confirms it has bonding capacity at the higher figure, but final spending will require formal town voter approval. This is a major K-12 facilities project still in planning, creating needs for design support, cost management, construction services, and education-focused building systems as scope and budgets are refined.

Letter notes that original OPM RFP cost range was $20M–$105M; updated estimate now $27.7M–$215.2M re...
