About this file
This is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitation document issued by the Town of Cheshire, Connecticut for Window Performance Testing Services for the new Norton Elementary School. The Town is seeking sealed bids for comprehensive field testing of windows and storefronts in accordance with industry standards including ASTM E783 (Air Leakage), ASTM E1105 (Water Penetration), AAMA 501.2 (Water-Spray Test for Aluminum Framed Entrances and Storefronts), and AAMA 502 (Water-Spray Test for Aluminum Windows). The solicitation period runs from January 24, 2026 at 7:00 AM EST through February 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, at which time sealed bids will be opened publicly and read aloud at Cheshire Town Hall, Room 221, 84 South Main Street. No pre-bid conference or mandatory site visit is required, and all vendors are eligible to respond. The Town anticipates issuing a Preliminary Notice of Award by February 20, 2026, with contract execution expected by February 27, 2026. Key deliverables include submission of a pre-test plan and schedule, comprehensive documentation with photographic evidence, completed data sheets for each tested unit, and a pass/fail summary report.
Evaluation criteria are based on experience, references, service capability, ability to respond promptly, past performance, and procedural compliance rather than price alone, and the Town reserves the right to award to the lowest qualified responsible bidder or the bidder deemed in the Town's best interests. The successful bidder must provide all testing equipment, materials, and certified personnel, and remain available for retesting at the Window and Storefront Contractor's expense if initial tests fail. Insurance requirements include General Liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 aggregate, Auto Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, Professional Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and Umbrella coverage of $1,000,000. The project is being funded in part by a grant from the State of Connecticut, and the successful bidder must comply with all applicable State requirements including Connecticut prevailing wage requirements, workers' compensation certification, and employee OSHA safety training certification. A Good Faith Efforts Plan is required with minimum spending allocations of 25% with Connecticut Department of Administrative Services-certified small businesses and 6.25% with minority-, women-, and disabled-owned businesses. All bid submissions must include completed Bid Forms, Legal Status Disclosure, Equal Employment Opportunities Certification, Non-Collusion Affidavit, and a Statement of References with at least three references.
