UCFS General Administration- Exterior Painting

UCFS Healthcare has issued a solicitation for exterior painting services for its General Administration building located at 34 East Town Street, Norwich, Connecticut. The project entails comprehensive preparation and painting work, including masking all windows to prevent paint and debris damage, scraping and sanding the entire exterior surface, power washing for cleaning, and stripping peeling paint from siding. Additional tasks involve sanding rough areas, filling nail holes with putty, caulking gaps in trim work to prevent water intrusion, and sanding window, door fascia, and soffit trims. The painting process requires priming all nail heads, bare wood siding, and trim with oil-based primer, followed by applying a fresh start primer on all surfaces, topped with two coats of finish paint. The application must be performed with brushes and rollers to ensure proper paint penetration and durability. The color scheme will be selected by the owner, and an alternate bid should be provided for painting a garage or workshop using the same process. The contract is valued between 50,000 and 150,000 dollars and is managed by United Community & Family Services, a Connecticut-based organization. The solicitation, posted on June 27, 2025, has a response deadline of July 21, 2025. The procurement process is open, with no specific set-aside designation, and the delivery terms specify that work must be completed FOB destination. Interested bidders are encouraged to submit their proposals through the designated portal, with primary contact being Pamela Kinder. The scope emphasizes quality workmanship to ensure a long-lasting finish, with the project including detailed specifications for surface preparation, priming, and painting techniques to meet the owner’s aesthetic and protective requirements.
