00 40 16 DAS Update Stmt Reqts 20251001.docx

This document is a DAS Update Statement Requirements specification issued by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) for state construction contracts. The requirement applies specifically to bidders submitting bids exceeding $1,000,000 for construction services, including the referenced structural and seismic review project at 395 West Main Street in Waterbury, Connecticut (solicitation BI-2B-455) with bids due July 27, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. All bidders on projects over $1,000,000 must submit a current DAS Update Statement through the CTsource online bidding system prior to the bid opening date. Failure to submit the statement by the bid opening deadline or within two business days after bid opening will result in automatic bid rejection and cannot be waived as a minor irregularity.

The DAS Update Statement is generated through the CT Gateway portal and documents the bidder's company information, current project assignments, and remaining Aggregate Work Capacity (AWC), which is calculated by subtracting ongoing bonded work from total bonded capacity. Bidders requiring assistance with statement creation or DAS Construction Contractor Prequalification Program enrollment should contact DAS at 860-713-5280, email DAS.Prequalification@ct.gov, or visit the DAS Construction Contractor Prequalification Program webpage. This requirement is mandatory for all qualifying bids and represents a standard form applicable across all Connecticut DAS construction projects.
