Welles Turner Memorial Library Site Improvements

The Town of Glastonbury is soliciting online bids for site improvements at the Welles Turner Memorial Library, specifically focusing on modifying the rear access drive, redesigning surrounding pedestrian walkways, and installing a traffic island. The base bid requires the traffic island to be constructed with colored stamped concrete, while an alternate bid option allows for granite pavers installed over a reinforced concrete base. All bids must be submitted through the secure e-Procurement portal at https://glastonburyct.bonfirehub.com/ under the solicitation number GL-2027-06, with a mandatory bid security in the form of a bid bond equal to at least 10% of the base bid amount.

This procurement is managed by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services under the agency name DAS Procurement, and the project location is within the town of Glastonbury, Connecticut.
