Responses must meet minimum requirements, including MCPPO certification and experience in public construction projects, particularly K-12 schools in Massachusetts. The selection process includes a review of responses, shortlisting, interviews, reference checks, and a scoring system based on evaluation criteria. The final selection will be submitted to the MSBA for approval. The Request for Services (RFS) is available on the City of Everett website and closes on September 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

Each respondent must certify that it meets the following minimum requirements: designate a project director certified in the Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Officer program (MCPPO), registered as an architect or professional engineer with at least five years experience in construction, or with at least seven years experience in construction if not registered as an architect or professional engineer.
