RFQ & RFP Project Management Bungay School, Seymour, CT

The Town of Seymour, Connecticut, through the Bungay Elementary School Building Committee and in coordination with the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services Procurement Office, is seeking a qualified firm to serve as owner’s representative and project manager for the design, construction, and closeout of a new elementary school facility at 35 Bungay Road. This combined request for qualifications and proposals requires proposers to demonstrate technical capability through detailed resumes of proposed team members, a list of at least five similar projects completed within the past five years, client references, a comprehensive project approach and methodology statement, documentation of current workload capacity, draft contract and payment terms, and audit and closeout records from prior CTDAS-funded projects. Proposals must be submitted in two sealed envelopes—one for qualifications excluding fee information and one for proposals including detailed fee structures—and include four paper copies plus a digital PDF on a thumb drive, with no fax or email submissions permitted. The project is estimated at $44,465,080, encompassing construction costs, escalation reserves, and contingencies, with services commencing within ten days of contract award and concluding only after completion of all CTDAS audit and closeout procedures. The selected firm will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the District’s Educational Specifications, Connecticut High Performance Building Standards, and all applicable state and federal regulations, including asbestos and lead abatement protocols, while also maintaining insurance coverage of at least $2 million in aggregate liability, three years of completed operations coverage, and specific ISO endorsements. The Town retains final acceptance authority upon achievement of substantial completion and issuance of a certificate of occupancy, with strict requirements for the submission of as-built drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranties, lien waivers, and bond indemnifications. Financial stability must be proven through submitted financial statements, and proposers are required to disclose any history of contract defaults, litigation, or disputes within the last five years, with failure to disclose or conditional proposals resulting in immediate disqualification. All records must be retained indefinitely until the CTDAS audit is formally closed, and the firm must adhere to tax-exempt status protocols since the Town is exempt from Connecticut sales and federal excise taxes. Proposals must be delivered no later than June 12, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. to the Seymour Town Hall address, with no amendments or modifications to the solicitation issued as of the posting date of May 5, 2026.
