Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to at least 30% of their bid amount prior to the bid opening via email to dotbid@ct.gov and comply with prevailing wage rates established by the Connecticut State Labor Commissioner, with a Contract Wage Certification Form required before contract award. The Connecticut Department of Transportation has established no specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) percentage goal or Small Business Enterprise (SBE) set-aside; however, DBE and SBE commitment documentation must be submitted within five calendar days after the bid opening if applicable, with DBE Regular Dealers eligible to receive 60% credit for material costs and DBE Distributors eligible to receive 40% credit.
