Central Fire Station

The Town of Winthrop is constructing a new central fire‑station building (~31,500 sf) featuring six apparatus bays, twelve bunk rooms, training, administrative, and support spaces, plus associated site work such as parking, roadways, and landscaping. The project is a high‑value ($26 M) public works contract governed by Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149, requiring DCMM‑certified general contractors and DCMM‑certified specialty subcontractors for a long list of trades (masonry, metalwork, waterproofing, roofing, windows, tile, flooring, painting, elevators, fire‑sprinkler, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc.). Bids are submitted electronically via BidDocs, with a sub‑bid deadline of July 31 2026 and a general‑bid deadline of August 17 2026. A pre‑bid conference/site visit is scheduled for July 7 2026 (optional). Numerous addenda (1‑10) modify specifications, drawings, and technical requirements; the latest addenda introduce new pass‑window and fiberglass‑door specifications, update drainage plans, and clarify responsibilities for various trades.
