LISC CT OEC Facilities Construction and Renovation Grant Program

The LISC CT OEC Facilities Construction and Renovation Grant Program is a solicitation managed by LISC Connecticut in partnership with the State of Connecticut Office of Early Childhood. Funded by State of CT general obligation bonds, the program aims to increase access to early care programs by prioritizing construction and renovation in high-need areas. This specific Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is not for a direct contract award but is designed to collect the qualifications of licensed construction contractors, architects, and consultants with experience or interest in serving childcare facilities within Connecticut. The resulting list of qualified professionals will be shared with childcare providers and partner organizations to facilitate future bidding opportunities and project notifications. Interested parties must submit their qualifications through the designated LISC RFQ Smartsheet form by the deadline of February 3, 2027, at 8:00 AM EST. Eligibility is primarily determined by a pass/fail assessment of professional licensure and relevant experience with Connecticut childcare facilities. While no specific line items or contract values are defined in this solicitation, LISC serves as the administrator for future project payments, which are authorized based on an approved scope of work, a corresponding payment plan, and verified evidence of completed work. For inquiries regarding the RFQ, respondents may contact LISC CT via email at ctoecfund@lisc.org.
