What the buyer is trying to do

Select municipal or regional public-sector hosts for a Municipal Assistance Coordinator (MAC) role to deliver technical assistance that improves municipal materials management outcomes (waste reduction, recycling, composting, household hazardous waste diversion) and strengthens regional coordination across a defined MAC district structure.

Who should pursue this

Municipal entities (cities and towns) positioned to host and support a MAC function
Regional planning agencies or other eligible regional municipal entities able to coordinate multi-municipality technical assistance across a district

Work breakdown

Serve as host entity for a Municipal Assistance Coordinator (MAC) for one of the referenced MAC districts
Provide technical assistance to municipalities focused on waste reduction
Provide technical assistance to municipalities to increase recycling
Provide technical assistance to municipalities to increase composting
Provide technical assistance to municipalities to increase household hazardous waste diversion
Facilitate and foster regional cooperation among municipalities on these topics

Response package checklist

Completed application for hosting a Municipal Assistance Coordinator (MAC)
Clear identification of applicant type (city/town vs regional planning agency/regional agency) and eligibility basis
Statement indicating which of the three MAC districts the application covers
Technical approach describing how the MAC will deliver assistance in waste reduction, recycling, composting, and household hazardous waste diversion
Plan for fostering regional cooperation among municipalities in the district
Any forms/instructions required by the CommBuys attachment (download file referenced in the notice)

More BidPulsar strategy notesCompliance, pricing, teaming, risks, questions, and coverage notes

Compliance notes

This is an announcement-only notice; confirm in the attached document whether/how applications must be submitted via CommBuys and any required formats
Eligibility is limited to municipal entities (cities, towns) and regional agencies; ensure the applicant entity matches the stated eligible categories
Response deadline: 2026-03-30T17:00:00+00:00

Pricing strategy

Treat this as a grant/host solicitation rather than a typical fee-for-service bid; align the application budget narrative (if required in the attachment) to the MAC technical assistance activities and district coverage expectations

Teaming and subs

If the host is a municipality, consider formal collaboration with a regional planning agency for regional coordination support (as permitted by the application rules in the attachment)
If the host is a regional planning agency, establish participating municipality commitments to facilitate on-the-ground implementation and coordination across the district

Risks and watchouts

Scope specifics for the 'three MAC districts' are not provided in the notice text; selecting the wrong district or misunderstanding district coverage could make an application nonresponsive
Because it is 'announcement only,' submission mechanics and required documents may be entirely contained in the attachment; missing an attachment-required form could disqualify the application
NAICS is listed as "00" and PSC is blank, suggesting classification fields may not help clarify scope—rely on the attachment for definitive requirements

Smart questions to ask

What are the geographic boundaries and municipality lists for each of the three MAC districts?
What deliverables, reporting cadence, and performance measures does MassDEP require from the MAC host?
What is the funding amount, allowable cost structure, and reimbursement method for the host (grant terms)?
Is the host expected to hire/employ the MAC directly, or can the MAC be contracted, and what are the staffing qualification requirements?
What are the required submission steps in CommBuys for an 'announcement only' notice (upload locations, file naming, signatures)?
Are letters of commitment from municipalities in the district required or recommended, and what should they include?

Source coverage notes

Some notices publish limited source detail. Confirm these points before final bid/no-bid decisions.
