1. Project Information

The project is divided into two distinct phases and should be priced accordingly:
Section A, extending from Lambert Avenue to Bradley Avenue
Section B, extending from Bradley Avenue to Hamilton Street
Combined, the total estimated scope of work includes the construction of approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of sidewalk, 3,050 sq. ft. of driveway aprons, 2,000 linear feet of concrete curbing, and 600 sq. ft. of ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps.
Please note that pre-cast concrete curbing is strictly prohibited for any portion of this project; the City of Meriden requires all curbing to be poured-in-place.
*The City reserves the right to award one or both Sections depending on available funding.
2. Measurement and Payment
The quantities outlined above are approximate estimates and may be adjusted upward or downward based on actual field conditions and available funding. The Contractor will be compensated strictly for the actual volume of work completed and verified.
All engineering designs and specifications included in this bid package represent standard details. These details are subject to modification should field conditions vary or if deemed necessary by the City Engineer.
3. Time
Inasmuch as the Contract concerns a needed public improvement, the provisions of the Contract relating to the time of performance and completion of the work are of the essence of this Contract. Accordingly, the
Contractor shall begin work on the day specified, and shall prosecute the work diligently so as to permit full use not later than the first day following the construction period established in the Contract. Liquidated damages shall be utilized as required.
4. Liquidated Damages
The Contractor guarantees that he can and will complete the work within the time specified or within the time as extended as provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents. Inasmuch as the damage and loss to the City of
Meriden which will result from the failure of the Contractor to complete the work within the stipulated time will be most difficult or impossible of accurate assessment, the damages to the City for such delay and failure on the part of the Contractor shall be liquidated in the sum of FIVE HUNDRED ($500.00) Dollars each calendar day
(Sundays and Holidays included) by which the Contractor shall fail to complete the work or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof and such liquidated damages shall not be considered as a penalty. The
City will deduct and retain out of any money due to become due hereunder, the amount of liquidated damages, and in case those amounts are less than the amount of liquidated damages, the Contractor shall be liable to pay the difference upon demand by the City.
5. Wage Rates
State of Connecticut Prevailing Wage Rates are required. The Contractor shall submit weekly certified payroll forms in accordance with State of Connecticut and Federal rules and regulations, including 29 CFR Part 1, Part
3 and Part 5. For additional information, copy and paste the below link into your internet browser:
http://www.dol.gov/compliance/laws/comp-dbra.htm. These forms shall be submitted to the Purchasing &
Engineering Departments, 142 East Main Street, Meriden, CT 06450. Meridenpurchasing@meridenct.gov and
DPWinvoices@meridenct.gov.
6. Traffic
All roads must remain open at all times. To minimize the need for uniformed police officers, it is recommended that the Contractors take the following steps:
• Approximately two (2) days before starting work, post the street as an “Emergency No Parking Zone”.
• Utilize the on-street parking area for digging and removal needs. For safety reasons, constant crossing of the street with machinery, to save time, will interfere with traffic and require a police officer.
• Cement trucks should also utilize the on-street parking area to pour cement, thus limiting the interference with traffic.
Contractual obligations in the City require that if a lane is closed, uniformed police officers will be necessary.
The Contractor is responsible for scheduling uniformed Police Officers for traffic control. If the Contractor does not follow the above steps and incurs cost for the maintenance and protection of traffic, the City will not be responsible for these costs. If the above steps are followed, and the City deems that uniformed Police Officers are required, the City will pay the Police Department directly and this is listed as an allowance on the Proposal
Pages for each section. If the Contractor decides that they would prefer uniformed police officers for their convenience, the price is $86.90 per hour for a uniformed officer, $30.00 per hour for a police cruiser, and 10% administrative cost based on the total amount of the actual invoice and the City will NOT be responsible for these costs; the Contractor will be responsible. Cost is $86.90 per hour for the first 4 hours of work performed.
Any work 4 hours or more, will be charged a minimum of 8 hours per the Meriden Police Local #1016 contract.
Specific traffic protection requirements will be coordinated with the assigned Captain at the Police Department.
In an effort to minimize costs for this sidewalk project, the City has determined if the Contractor(s) fails to meet the completion dates stated in the bid, the cost for the uniformed Police Officers will be the responsibility of the Contractor(s). These costs will be deducted from the monies owed to the Contractor by the City.
NOTE: If there is an instance where the Contractor has already scheduled a Uniformed Police Officer(s) for a particular day, but the Contractor cancels, the Contractor must contact the Police Department Scheduling at
(203) 630-6305 not less than NINETY (90) MINUTES prior to the start time requested to cancel the Uniformed
Police Officer(s). If the cancellation does not occur within the required Ninety Minutes, the Contractor will be responsible for the cost of the uniformed Police Officer(s). The cost for failure to cancel within the Ninety
Minutes is a minimum of 4 hours at a rate of $86.90/hour x 4 hours = $347.60.
Any mention of Traffic Protection in the Technical Specifications excludes the cost for uniformed Police
Officers.
7. Bidders Qualifications/Award of Contract http://www.dol.gov/compliance/laws/ mailto:Meridenpurchasing@meridenct.gov
Bidders will be required to fill out and include as a part of their bid the attached Bidder’s Qualifications
Statement. Each bidder must have sufficient personnel, vehicles and equipment to dedicate at least one sidewalk crew (Backhoe with operator, Dump Truck with operator, and Laborer) forty hours per week for the duration of the contract as deemed necessary by the City of Meriden. In determining the qualifications of a bidder, the City will consider whether or not sufficient resources are available to meet the above criteria with his current workload. In addition, the City will consider his record in performance of any contracts for construction work previously completed.
The City reserves the right to reject the bid of any bidder, if in the City’s opinion, the bidder’s record of past performance indicates he has not properly performed such Contracts, or has habitually and without just cause, neglected the payment of bills or has otherwise disregarded his obligations to subcontractors, suppliers or employees.
