00 40 15 DAS Prequal Cert Reqts 20251001.docx

This is a Contractor Prequalification Certificate Requirements document issued by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) applicable to the Troop H Maintenance Facility Repairs project located at 100R Washington Street, Hartford, Connecticut. The document establishes mandatory prequalification standards for all bidders submitting bids exceeding $1,000,000 on this construction services project. All bidders must obtain and submit a current, non-expired DAS Prequalification Certificate in the specific Class of Work designated for this project prior to the bid opening date and time. Bidders must upload their certificates to the CTsource platform along with their other bid documents. The prequalification requirement is mandated under Connecticut General Statutes Section 4b-91(a) and Section 4a-100, making it a non-waivable condition of bid eligibility.

Failure to submit the required DAS Prequalification Certificate by the bid opening deadline, or within two business days thereafter, will result in automatic bid rejection and will not be considered a minor irregularity under state law. Bidders can locate their prequalification certificates through the CT Gateway online portal or contact the DAS Construction Contractor Prequalification Program at 860-713-5280 or DAS.Prequalification@ct.gov for assistance with certification status or prequalification inquiries. This requirement applies uniformly to all projects meeting the $1,000,000 threshold and represents a standard form requirement established by Connecticut DAS as of October 1, 2025.
