Public buyers typically advertise this kind of work as an Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), or Request for Qualifications (RFQ), depending on whether the selection is price-driven, qualifications-driven, or both. Bidders responding to a engineering solicitation in Massachusetts are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
