9 DUPONTT LANE REHABILITATION PROJECT RP1531

Solicitation 27-40, project RP1531, is a request for bids for roofing and window replacement work at 9 Dupont Lane in Norwich, Connecticut. The project is funded through the Property Rehabilitation Program and the HUD Lead Based Paint Hazard Control in Priority Housing Program. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 6, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the project location, and final bids must be submitted via the City of Norwich online bidding portal by 4:00 PM on November 13, 2026. Eligible bidders must be registered contractors in the State of Connecticut and provide proof of insurance, home improvement licensure, and lead abatement licensure if applicable. Submission requirements include a signed bidders certification, a completed payment request, a non-collusion affidavit, and all signed addendum sheets. The City enforces strict bidder limitation policies, generally restricting contractors to two active contracts across the Lead or Rehab programs, with new contractors subject to a one-contract probationary period. The selected contractor will be responsible for securing and terminating all required permits and utilizing builders grade materials. For properties in historic districts, windows must be all wood and match existing forms. Payment is processed via billing requests subject to inspection by Program Management and the property owner, with a minimum 15-day turnaround for approved invoices. Award decisions are based on the best interest of the City, which includes evaluating the bidder's standing and any pending civil litigation.
