Preston Public Works Salt Shed Foundation

The Town of Preston is soliciting bids for a lump sum contract to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to install a complete concrete foundation, including cast-in-place footings and walls, for a new 45ft x 56ft metal hoop structure used for road sand and salt storage. The project is located at the Department of Public Works at 389 Route 2, Preston, CT. The contractor is responsible for obtaining the required building permit from the Town and providing submittals for concrete, reinforcing steel, and leveling plates and anchor bolts. Performance begins upon receipt of a notice to proceed, with substantial completion required by April 15, 2027. Unexcused late completion is subject to liquidated damages of $250.00 per calendar day. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bidders must submit one original and one copy of their bid in a sealed envelope to the office of the First Selectman. Required documentation includes a lump sum price bid and completed Federal Certifications. Because the project is federally funded, the contractor must comply with the Clean Air Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. Additionally, the contractor must adhere to Connecticut prevailing wage laws and provide 100% performance and payment bonds, as well as necessary insurance certificates. A one-year warranty period applies after substantial completion for the correction of any defective work at no additional cost to the Town.
