This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS), Construction Services division, for Construction Administrator Services supporting the Hartford Correctional Center Facility Roof Inspection/Replacement project located at 177 Weston Street, Hartford, Connecticut. The project encompasses a $12,000,000 capital initiative addressing roofing systems across multiple buildings comprising approximately 24,000 square feet of built-up roofing, 21,000 square feet of roll modified roofing, 90,000 square feet of rubber with stone ballast roofing, and 6,000 square feet of glue-down rubber roofing, totaling approximately 141,000 square feet. Respondents must submit a Quality-Based Selection (QBS) Submittal Booklet via Connecticut's CTsource e-procurement system by May 13, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EDT, with a maximum file size of 10 megabytes and searchable bookmarks organized by division. The selection timeline includes a shortlisting/screening meeting on June 9, 2026, a mandatory site visit on July 22, 2026, selection interviews on August 4, 2026, and a scope review meeting with the top three selected firms on September 15, 2026, with construction anticipated to commence in May 2027.

The selected Construction Administrator team must provide preconstruction and construction phase oversight services and must employ or retain a professional construction scheduler with at least five years of experience and an independent certified commissioning agent. Evaluation will utilize Quality-Based Selection methodology assessing key personnel experience, team capacity and capability, past performance records, and demonstrated experience with High Performance Building management, LEED rating systems, and Net Zero Energy certification standards. The solicitation is open to all vendors, though the RFQ documentation references SBE/MBE certification status as a required submission component, suggesting consideration for disadvantaged enterprise designations. Conditionally selected firms must submit professional documents, business credentials, and insurance verification within 14 calendar days of notification. Payment terms are established at Net 30 Days, and all inquiries should be directed to DAS.CS.RFQ@ct.gov.
