Bid 14-2526 On-Call Construction of Sidewalks

The Town of Guilford, Connecticut, is soliciting competitive bids for an on-call construction contract to provide sidewalk, driveway apron, curbing, handicap ramp, and paver/curb resetting services across its jurisdiction. This indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity arrangement functions as a master agreement under which specific projects will be issued via written Task Orders or Purchase Orders, allowing the Town to call upon the selected contractor as needed. The contract utilizes standard construction contract language based on the AIA A105®–2017 format, governing payment terms, insurance obligations, completion schedules, and contract modifications. All work must comply with Connecticut DOT standards, including GSD-8, GSD-10, and CTDOT ramp details, as well as applicable ASTM, AASHTO, ACI, and MUTCD specifications for materials, placement, and traffic control signage. Contractors must submit bids with completed unit prices for line items such as bituminous concrete sidewalks, granite curb resets, and traffic director labor, though no pricing data is pre-filled. Proposals must include a bid bond, signed affidavit affirming compliance with affirmative action policies or confirming employment of ten or fewer workers, and a non-collusion certification under penalty of perjury. The contract requires bidders to possess adequate financial resources to meet insurance and bonding requirements, with liability coverage mandated at one million dollars. Performance is subject to strict timelines determined by each Task Order, and delivery must occur F.O.B. at locations designated by the Town. All materials, including cementitious products and aggregates, must be stored and transported under dry, uncontaminated conditions, with survey markers and traffic control devices properly protected. Proposals must be submitted physically in triplicate—original, two copies, and one electronic copy on a labeled flash drive—with no email or cloud submissions accepted. The deadline for submission is June 2, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., and awards will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible, and qualified bidder whose offer is in the best interest of the Town, with the authority to reject even the lowest bid if non-price factors warrant. Post-award requirements include submission of a Certificate of Insurance, W-9, and Performance and Payment Bonds, and the contract allows for renewal with potential increases in bond amounts. There are no federal acquisition regulation clauses, security clearances, key personnel designations, or organizational conflict of interest provisions specified, and no formal accounting codes or electronic invoicing systems are referenced.
