The BRGPP staff is available to assist the municipalities with joint procurement of fuel and road maintenance products and individual procurement activities.

The program coordinates the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Chapter 90 pre-qualifications, preparing, advertising and issuing bid documents, holding bid openings, tabulating bid results, checking references and debarment lists, insurance and bonding requirements, awarding contracts, managing the contract execution process and record keeping.  Invitations to Bid for each product allows vendors to offer products and services based on the municipalities’ location in Northern, Central or Southern Berkshire County, or on any combination of the three. These BRGPP services are designed to provide municipalities the lowest prices available, while also relieving municipal staff of performing the necessary activities required for bidding products and services under the Massachusetts procurement laws.
