This opportunity is part of a two-step selection process. First, firms must submit an SOQ to be pre-qualified. Only pre-qualified firms will then be invited to bid on the actual work at a later date. Existing pre-qualified trade packages for this project are not affected by this re-advertisement.

Questions regarding this RFQ must be submitted in writing to the Procurement Officer before 2:00 PM EST on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. Responses will not be opened publicly, but respondent names will be posted.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for construction firms specializing in elevator installation and related electrical traction systems. Firms must be prepared to go through a pre-qualification process, even if they are already DCAMM Certified.
The project is a CM at Risk Project under MGL Ch. 149A, indicating a specific project delivery method that firms should be familiar with.
How to respond
To access the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) documents, you can request them through the SRA's website. The full bid details are also available on COMMBUYS, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts procurement portal.
Statements of Qualifications must be submitted to the Springfield Redevelopment Authority, Attn: Amanda Pham, Procurement Officer, at 70 Tapley Street, Springfield MA, 01104.

Tips for a competitive response
Carefully review the RFQ for specific pre-qualification criteria. Since this is a re-advertisement for a specific trade package, ensure your SOQ directly addresses the requirements for electrical traction elevators.
Pay close attention to all submission instructions, including formatting and required documentation. Submitting a complete and well-organized SOQ is crucial for pre-qualification. If you have questions, submit them in writing by the August 5, 2026, deadline to the Procurement Officer, Amanda Pham, via email.
