The Town of Upton contracted Capital Strategic Solutions to assist them in completing two procurements. First, the Town recently opened a new community center which houses both the Library and Department of Elder and Social Services (Council on Aging). Rather than add full-time staff to provide custodial services for the new building, the Town has chosen to outsource this work to a private sector firm for both this building and Upton’s Town Hall. Capital Strategic Solutions staff researched the procurement requirements and recommended that the Town seek quotes from vendors who are pre-qualified on a state contract. We are currently in the process of finalizing the RFQ package and advertising it so vendors can be notified of the project, attend a site visit and submit their pricing for the Town’s consideration.
The second project is to assist them in obtaining bids to replace the HVAC controls at the Town’s Fire Station, for which the Town received a state grant. A state contract also exists for HVAC work, so we are in the process of preparing the procurement package to send out to eligible firms. Once we’ve received responses for both projects, we will assist the Town with the analysis of the pricing and make recommendations on contract awards.
