FFCM Complaint Prompts Contractor Replacement

The Building Committee for the new high school in Greenfield has voted to drop its original contractor for the $65 million job and begin negotiations with the No. 2 bidder after the FFCM filed a bid protest with the Attorney General’s office. FFCM monitors who scrutinized the application submitted by DEW/MacMillin determined that the application was incomplete and notified the Attorney General’s office. The Building Committee accepted the recommendation of the construction manager selection committee, which opted  to withdraw its support for DEW/MacMillin Co. of New Hampshire in favor of Shawmut Design and Construction, a Boston company.
