What the buyer is trying to do

Procure a contractor to modernize a single hydraulic passenger elevator (Danforth) at Framingham State University under project number FRA-1091-25, including any related work required to complete the modernization, using an electronic bidding process administered by MSCBA.

Who should pursue this
  • Licensed/elevator modernization contractors with demonstrated experience modernizing hydraulic passenger elevators (single-elevator projects) in occupied institutional buildings (university/campus environments).
  • Firms already set up to bid electronically with Massachusetts public owners (or able to complete electronic bidding prerequisites quickly before 2026-04-02).
Work breakdown
  • Confirm electronic bid submission method and register/qualify in the required system (hard copy bids not accepted).
  • Perform site verification for the existing Danforth hydraulic passenger elevator (equipment condition, clearances, controls, and interfacing building conditions) to support the modernization approach.
  • Engineer and execute elevator modernization for one hydraulic passenger elevator (controls, fixtures, door equipment, and other modernization elements consistent with the project’s requirements).
  • Execute “related work” necessary to complete the modernization (coordination with building interfaces, access, outages, and reinstatement as required by the solicitation documents).
  • Testing/verification and turnover for the modernized elevator (commissioning/inspection steps as required by the bid documents).
Response package checklist
  • Complete electronic bid submission by 2026-04-02T14:00:00+00:00.
  • Bid form and any pricing schedules included in the solicitation package for FRA-1091-25 Danforth Elevator Modernization.
  • Acknowledgment of any addenda issued for the project (if applicable).
  • Documentation required by the MSCBA/electronic bid system for eligibility to bid (as specified in the bid documents).
More BidPulsar strategy notesCompliance, pricing, teaming, risks, questions, and coverage notes
Compliance notes
  • This project is being electronically bid; hard copy bids will not be accepted (explicitly stated in the notice).
  • Opportunity owner/agency is MSCBA - Massachusetts State College Building Authority; ensure your submission follows MSCBA’s electronic bidding instructions for this project.
  • Match the project identification in all documents: FRA-1091-25 Danforth Elevator Modernization at Framingham State University.
Pricing strategy
  • Treat this as a discrete, single-unit modernization (one hydraulic passenger elevator); ensure pricing accounts for mobilization, project management, and any premium for limited working windows typical of an active campus environment (confirm constraints in the bid documents).
  • Clarify what is included in “related work” within the bid documents and qualify/prioritize any scope boundaries that materially affect cost (e.g., electrical feeders, fire alarm interfaces, finishes) only as allowed by the bidding rules.
Teaming and subs
  • Potential subs to line up (subject to what the bid documents define as “related work”): electrical contractor for power/control interfaces; general trades for patch/paint and minor architectural reinstatement.
  • If your firm is strong on elevator equipment but not on ancillary building work, consider a teaming plan with a GC or trusted trades to cover “related work” responsibilities as required by the solicitation.
Risks and watchouts
  • Scope ambiguity: “related work” is referenced but not detailed in the brief; cost/schedule risk if ancillary building/electrical/fire-life-safety interfaces are more extensive than anticipated.
  • Single-elevator constraint: if this is the only passenger elevator serving an area, access/outage management can drive schedule and cost; confirm permitted shutdown windows in the bid documents.
  • Electronic bid risk: inability to complete registration/upload/validation in the electronic system before the deadline could disqualify the bid.
Smart questions to ask
  • Where exactly are the electronic bid submission instructions hosted for this MSCBA opportunity, and what are the required steps to be deemed a responsive bidder?
  • What specific elements are included in “modernization” for this hydraulic passenger elevator (controls, jack/cylinder work, pump unit, door equipment, fixtures, cab work, etc.)?
  • What is included in “related work” (electrical scope boundaries, fire alarm interfaces, architectural patching, asbestos/lead considerations if any, permitting/inspections), and who owns each portion?
  • Are there campus constraints (hours, shutdown windows, access routes, staging/laydown) at Framingham State University that affect work sequencing?
  • Is there a required site visit, and are there existing drawings/elevator data sheets available for the Danforth elevator?
Source coverage notes

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

  • Link/system for electronic bidding and full solicitation documents (plans/specs, bid forms, addenda).
  • Solicitation number, notice type, and any applicable set-aside information.
  • Place of performance details (building/location specifics on campus) and site visit requirements.
  • Defined scope details for “modernization” and “related work” inclusions/exclusions.
  • Period of performance (start/end) and schedule constraints/outage windows.
