The Town of Lexington is seeking qualifications from filed sub-bid trades to provide construction services for the new Lexington High School building project. The project includes a new four-story school, a field house addition and renovation, demolition of the existing high school, and reconstruction of the site and playing fields. Firms must demonstrate experience on similar projects, comply with Massachusetts General Laws c. 149, §§ 26–27H, and submit their qualifications electronically to Dore & Whittier.
Sole Source:If sale is less than $10,000 (construction) or $25,000 (goods/services), use sole source; otherwise deprioritize and pivot to a cooperative purchase or prepare for a formal competitive bid.
Coops:While coops aren’t typically used here, ask about leveraging OSD statewide contracts, MAPC joint procurements, Sourcewell, or OMNIA Partners as compliant shortcuts.
Agency-specific vendor registration, compliance steps, and approval routing shape the purchasing timeline.

Town of Lexington, MA:Deprioritize sole source. Public records show no sole source awards and strict adherence to competitive bidding. Practical notes: low bid thresholds ($10,000 construction; $25,000 goods/services) and sealed paper bids drive formal competition. If attempted, expect significant scrutiny; instead, prepare for a formal bid or steer to a cooperative purchase.
