MBTA Request for Qualifications for Lynn Garage Joint Development Stage 1 Procurement

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ #98-26) for Stage 1 of a two-stage joint development procurement at the Lynn Garage in Lynn, MA. The MBTA seeks qualified development firms to plan, design, develop, finance, construct, own, and operate a mixed-use, transit-oriented development that incorporates parking and integrates with future station and busway operations. The contract period will run for one year, while the budget calls for proposals. Qualified development firms must submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) addressing their organizational structure, relevant experience, key personnel, project vision, financial capability, and required questionnaire disclosures. Evaluation involves a responsiveness check, pass/fail reviews of required certifications, and a qualitative assessment against evaluation criteria to determine a shortlist of respondents eligible for the Stage 2 RFP. Respondents must submit SOQs electronically via COMMBUYS no later than December 16, 2026.
