About this file
This is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitation document issued by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Construction Services for construction services at the Rowland Government Center in Waterbury, Connecticut. The project involves implementing an Energy Audit Implementation Program, which includes energy efficiency retrofitting and building systems upgrades at the five-story state government facility. The scope of work encompasses structural steel, fire suppression and sprinkler relocations, plumbing, HVAC systems with controls, electrical work, and demolition of existing systems. The solicitation is designated as BI-T-619J and operates on a two-round bidding process, with specifications and drawings released only to contractors who complete Round 1 and attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for November 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 1137 or 1138 at the Rowland State Government Center. The bid submission deadline is December 15, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EST through CTsource, with a vendor question and answer period running from November 3, 2026, at 3:45 p.m. EST through December 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EST. The project contract allows 660 calendar days from notice to proceed to substantial completion, followed by 90 days for acceptance, with payment terms of Net 30.
Bidders with bids exceeding $1,000,000 must be currently prequalified by DAS for General Building Construction (Group B). The estimated project cost ranges from $2,375,000 to $2,625,000, and the project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Connecticut General Statutes Section 31-53. Named subcontractors are required for electrical and HVAC work, each estimated to exceed $100,000, and bidders must obtain signed statements from all named subcontractors exceeding $100,000. Bidders must make good faith efforts to meet Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goals of 9.28% and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) goals of 3.40%, which are participation goals rather than set-asides. Required insurance includes commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and builder's risk at project value with a $25,000 deductible. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,196 per calendar day for delay beyond substantial completion and an additional $1,196 per calendar day for failure to achieve acceptance within 90 days thereafter. Bid submissions require submission of a Standard Bid Bond or certified check equal to 10% of the bid amount, a Certificate of Authority, a General Contractor Bidder's Qualification Statement, and a notarized Campaign Contribution Certification. The project does not include federal financial assistance.
