Professional Design Services Proposed Fire Station #5

The contract pertains to professional design services for the proposed new Fire Station 5 in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Proposals must be submitted by June 4, 2026. The procurement is managed by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) with Maureen McCauley as the primary point of contact.
