Re: Request for a Response (RFR)
Office Furniture Replacement Project
2nd Floor MART Intermodal Facility
100 Main St., Fitchburg MA 01420
The Montachusett Regional Transit Authority (MART) is requesting responses from qualified
contractors, for the purchase and installation of new office furniture in our call center, located on the
second floor of the Fitchburg Intermodal Facility at 100 Main Street. The scope of work includes;
1. The disassembly, removal, and storage of existing modular workstations, screens, and
accompanying furniture.
2. Assembly and installation of new bench style workstations, including screens, personal
dividers, and cabling.
3. Assemble and install cubicles in manager’s area.
4. This project will run in conjunction with carpeting and painting renovation which shall
require flexibility on the part of the selected contractor.
Specifications for the above scope of the RFR are attached. The contractor is responsible for
obtaining any necessary permits and the costs associated with them. Because of the nature of the work
at the call center, all work will be done during off hours, evenings and weekends, and the call center
must remain fully functional throughout the project. Hours of operation for the call center are M-F/8-5.
In addition, this project utilizes State and Federal funding, so all prevailing wage requirements are in
effect. The contractor will also be required to provide a copy of their federal W9 form and an adequate
Certificate of Liability Insurance upon approval of their response. Within your response, please
include an estimated manufacturer’s lead time for furniture, as this will be a determining factor for
award.
Responses are due no later than 3PM Friday, August 12th and should be sent via email,
facsimile, or delivery to 840 No. Main St, Leominster, MA 01453 to the attention of Susan Gallien,
Procurement Manager, at the contact information below. For access to the website or for any questions
regarding this RFR, send request to the attention of Susan Gallien, at [email protected]. All
questions will be answered to the best of MARTs ability and all answers are made available to the
firms in receipt of this RFR.
Thank you, in advance, for your time and effort in the preparation of your response.
Regards,
