<p class="MsoNormal">Dear MassPlanners – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today the Commonwealth issued a Request for Responses (RFR) for Professional Services including Downtown Revitalization and Planning, Transportation, GIS, Engineering and Architecture. It is known as “PRF 76” which replaces and expands
former PRF 61. This is the mechanism for consultants to get onto the state vendor list that is used by state agencies for hiring without issuing other specific RFRs.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consultants interested in submitting a proposal, which are due no later than
<u>2:00 p.m.</u> <u>August 4, 2022</u>, should visit <a href="https://www.commbuys.com/bso/">
COMMBUYS</a> and <b>Search for Bid Number:</b> <b>BD-22-1080-OSD03-SRC3-75909. If</b> you have questions, please see the instructions and trainings that are available through the agency that manages this centralized location for procurement of goods and services.
I am making folks aware of this opportunity, but I cannot answer questions about the RFR nor the bidding process.
