Invitation to Bid for Construction Services

Solicitation BI-MH-134 is an invitation for construction services to perform renovations on the old power plant located on Holmes Drive in Middletown, Connecticut. Managed by the DAS Procurement agency for the State of Connecticut, the project requires the execution of a base bid and potential supplemental bids in accordance with CSI MasterFormat 49-Division standards. The contract will be awarded to a qualified and responsible bidder based on the lowest lump sum aggregate of all applicable project costs. Key deliverables include coordination drawings, monthly photographic documentation, submittal schedules, and monthly as-built updates. Bidders must submit their proposals via the CTsource portal by December 16, 2026, including a signed Bid Proposal Form, a standard bid bond or certified check, and a general contractor qualification statement. Mandatory certifications include a Campaign Contribution Certification, and additional documentation is required for bids between $500,000 and $1 million. The project mandates compliance with C.G.S. § 31-53 prevailing wage standards, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Executive Order No. 11246 for equal employment opportunity. Bidders are also expected to make good faith efforts to utilize DAS-certified Small Business Enterprise and Minority Business Enterprise subcontractors. The apparent low bidder must provide a performance bond of at least 100 percent of the contract price within 15 calendar days of receiving a Letter of Intent. Strict packaging and storage requirements are in place to ensure materials are delivered in original sealed containers and stored according to manufacturer instructions to prevent deterioration. Quality control is managed through the Owner's Construction Administrator, with the contractor responsible for coordinating operational tests and paying for any necessary re-inspections resulting from failed tests. Build America, Buy America Act requirements do not apply to this project.
