Small Public Jobs you can Bid this Week that Don’t Require DCAMM
A Few Notes on Small Public Projects:
Consult the bid documents: Always check the official project documents for full details including scope, requirements, and deadlines.
Bonding: Public projects in Massachusetts frequently require bonding. If you don’t already have it in place, consider reaching out to a surety broker to line it up prior to bidding on a project.
Prevailing wage: Assume prevailing wage for public work at all price points.

Large public projects getting underway across Massachusetts
Why should small contractors care about large public projects? Large projects
show who the active primes worth knowing are. You’re not here for the
contract, you’re here for the contacts.
Why should local suppliers and equipment rental companies watch large public projects? Big awards show where projects are starting and who may need tools, materials, equipment, machines, labor, and support. You’re not just tracking projects. You’re tracking future purchase orders.
