The City of Boston, acting through its Department of Neighborhood Development (DND), Real Estate Management and Sales (REMS) Division is seeking qualified environmental consultants with on-staff Massachusetts Licensed Site Professionals (LSPs). These firms must be able to provide a full range of environmental consulting, investigation, and remediation services on an as-needed basis for properties throughout the City of Boston during the period November 12, 2019 through November 11, 2022. The Scope of Services for this contract includes all manner of environmental investigations required to fulfill the needs of the MA Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (US HUD), and lending institutions. DND intends to select four (4) consultants for environmental consulting services on an as-needed basis based on the criteria identified in the RFP. Applications must be submitted by environmental consulting firms with on-staff LSPs. The consultants selected to provide these services must demonstrate substantial experience in managing and executing environmental consulting projects. Selection is based on a ranking of firms according to the Evaluation Criteria set forth in the application proposal package. The contract term shall be from November 12, 2019 through November 11, 2022, subject to the availability of appropriation in the subsequent fiscal years. DND will award four contracts to the highest rated proposals. DND reserves the option to extend the contract(s) or increase the contract(s) amount to complete in progress projects or reach certain project milestones. PLEASE NOTE: In order to participate in these online procurement activities Bidders must register with the Supplier Portal at online. First-Time Vendors, i.e. those who have never contracted with the City or, if so, not for many years, will be required to obtain login credentials, a process which is subject to administrative delays. DND recommends that First-Time Vendors submit a hardcopy proposal at the DND Bid Counter, yet still register with the Supplier Portal so as to be prepared for future RFPs.
