Early Childhood Elementary School

The contract pertains to the construction of the LEARN Early Childhood School in Waterford, Connecticut, which involves building a new approximately 87,000-square-foot, one-story educational facility on the site of the former Southwest School. The scope includes the abatement and demolition of the existing 35,000-square-foot structure, followed by the construction of the new school designed to serve infants through second graders from 25 municipalities. The project features a foundation system of concrete spread footings, structural steel framing, acoustical and nonacoustical roof decking, and a building envelope composed of a TPO roof membrane, exterior walls with a combination of metal panels, masonry, and aluminum storefront and curtain wall systems. The solicitation, issued by the LEARN Regional Educational Service Center, is posted as an Invitation to Bid with a response deadline of December 15, 2025, and a vendor Q&A period open until December 3, 2025.

The solicitation document provides detailed technical and scope requirements but does not include standard FAR contract clauses, evaluation factors, or detailed contract administration provisions within the available content. It references attachments such as an advertisement for bids but lacks explicit instructions on proposal formatting, evaluation criteria, or specific contractual clauses. The performance period begins upon contract award, with work scheduled to be completed within approximately a month. The project emphasizes compliance with construction documents, quality standards, and site-specific requirements, with inspection and acceptance expected to occur at the project site in Waterford. Overall, the contract aims to deliver a modern early childhood educational facility through a competitive bidding process, with comprehensive technical specifications and site work outlined, but without detailed contractual or administrative provisions included in the current documentation.
