State Street Reconstruction Phase 2

The contract involves the reconstruction and traffic signal modifications along State Street from Water Street/Union Avenue to Trumbull Street in New Haven, Connecticut. The project, titled "State Street Reconstruction Phase 2," aims to continue work from an earlier phase by reconfiguring State Street to establish a two-way traffic pattern exclusively on the west side of the existing medians. Additionally, a new pedestrian and bicycle greenway will be developed on the east side of the medians, enhancing safety and accessibility for non-motorized users. The project includes extensive construction activities such as demolition, curb and sidewalk installation, asphalt bike path construction, storm drainage improvements, ADA ramp upgrades, traffic signal equipment updates, and street furniture installation. Traffic signals will be revised to support the new traffic flow and facilitate pedestrian and bicycle crossings, involving both existing and new infrastructure. The project is managed by the City of New Haven under solicitation number 2024-IFB-063, with a contract value estimated at around $3,000. The work is scheduled to commence following the award, with a response deadline of October 16, 2024. The contract emphasizes compliance with city policies, including equal opportunity requirements, and mandates adherence to labor standards, insurance, and bonding provisions. Contractors are also required to pay applicable EEOC submission fees, as outlined in recent city notifications. The primary contact for the project is Adam Weber, reachable via email and phone. The project aims to improve traffic flow, safety, and pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure along a key corridor in downtown New Haven, supporting the city's broader transportation and urban development goals.
