This is a bid set document for the Town of Putnam, Connecticut, containing plans and specifications for the Saint Marie-Greenhalgh Sports Complex running track improvements project. The project scope encompasses complete replacement of the existing running track and D zones, including associated drainage systems and fencing. A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held online on July 15, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with sealed bids due August 6, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Electronic copies of plans, specifications, and bid forms will be available beginning July 2, 2026. The project must be completed within 150 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $550 per day for delays.

The estimated construction cost is $1.6 million, funded through the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and the Town of Putnam. Connecticut's state set-aside requirements mandate that 25% of the state-funded contract value be awarded to DAS-certified small businesses and 6.25% to DAS-certified minority-, women-, and/or disabled-owned businesses, with demonstrated good faith effort required. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to 10% of the bid price, and the successful bidder must furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract price from a Connecticut-qualified surety company. Connecticut prevailing wage rates apply as established by the Department of Labor as of June 26, 2026. The contract includes two optional add-alternates: a 10-foot high retractable ball netting system and an upgrade to sandwich system track surfacing. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and eligible bidder based on qualifications, evidence of past performance on similar projects, and bid price. The contract is subject to termination if grant funds are cancelled or suspended.
