UPDATED: SBE / MBE Subcontractor Participation Goals:

In accordance with Connecticut General Statutes Section (C.G.S. §) 4a-60g (C), as amended by Public Act 25-168, on and after July 1, 2026, (i) state agencies shall establish annual spending allocation goals for goods and services by industry category pursuant to subsection (k) of this section, and (ii) awarding agencies shall establish contract-specific spending allocation goals for public works contracts that reflect and are consistent with the percentage of available businesses in the relevant industry and geographic market area that are identified as small contractors and minority business enterprises in the database established pursuant to subparagraph (A) of this subdivision.

Awarding agencies setting spending allocation goals and contractors awarded public works contracts shall make good faith efforts, as defined in section 4a-60, and consistent with state and federal law, to achieve the spending allocation goals established pursuant to this subparagraph.

UPDATED: Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) Updates:

On public works contracts valued at one million dollars or more or for projects for which a construction manager has entered into a public works contract providing for a guaranteed maximum price valued at one hundred fifty thousand dollars or more, C.G.S. § 46a-68e requires that the awarding agency “shall withhold two percent of the total contract price per month from any payment made to such contractor until such time as the contractor has submitted all compliance reports required by the Commission.”

The term “awarding agency” is defined by C.G.S. § 4a-60g as “a state agency or political subdivision of the state, including a municipality or quasi-public agency.”

UPDATED: Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) Updates: Effective October 1, 2025, in accordance with Public Act 25-168, the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) Contract Compliance Unit has introduced changes to the requirements for State-Funded Projects. Good Faith Efforts Plans replace Set-Aside Plans and Affirmative Action Plans. Plans will only need to be submitted when the state funding is $150,000 or more.

The Good Faith Efforts Short Form Plan will replace the Set-Aside Plan and the Good Faith Efforts Long Form Plan will replace the Affirmative Action Plan. Monthly Reports will no longer be required for all projects, including those started prior to the effective date. Within 45 days of substantial completion, contractors must submit: subcontractor payment documentation, lien waivers, and any outstanding subcontract notifications. General contractors must pay subcontractors within 15 days of the due date, unless there is a bona fide dispute. Failure to file plans, meet deadlines, or make good faith efforts will be subject to enforcement that may lead to withholding of contract payments, disqualification from future bidding, and/or civil penalties and legal action by CHRO. Please see the CHRO website for a summary of changes and templates for the new plan formats.

NEW: NOTICE TO BIDDER – PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT:

A Project Labor Agreement (PLA) may be required as part of this Contract. See page 1 of Section 00 11 16 Invitation to Bid or Section 00 41 00 Bid Proposal Form for applicability.

If applicable, Connecticut DAS, pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 31-56b, has determined that it is in the public’s interest to require a PLA for this public works project. A PLA is a pre-hire agreement covering the terms and conditions for all persons who will perform work on the project. In addition to other terms and conditions, the PLA shall contain provisions required by the aforementioned statute.

A copy of the PLA signed by the Greater Hartford-New Britain Building and Construction Trades Council is included in Specification Section 00 73 48 of the Contract Documents. The “Acceptance of Agreement” form is also included in Section 00 73 48.

The Bidder will be required to sign the PLA and “Acceptance of Agreement” prior to the Award of this Contract, acknowledging that the Bidder has received a fully executed copy of the PLA, and accepts and agrees to be bound by the PLA for this Project. The Bidder will be required to ensure that Contractors sign the “Acceptance of Agreement” form attached to the PLA for the purpose of performing work on the Project. The Bidder shall monitor and enforce compliance with the PLA by the Unions and by all Contractors who, through their execution of the “Acceptance of Agreement”, together with their subcontractors, accept and agree to be bound by the PLA for this Project. The term “Contractors” shall include all Contractors, Subcontractors and sub- subcontractors of whatever tier engaged in on-site construction work within the scope of this Agreement.

In accordance with Connecticut General Statutes Section 31-56b(d), if the Bidder does not agree to abide by the conditions of the PLA, the Bidder shall not be regarded as a responsible and qualified bidder. If any Contractor performing work for the Project does not agree to abide by the conditions of the PLA, the Bidder shall not regard such Contractor as a responsible and qualified contractor.

UPDATED: Section 00 52 03 DAS-CS Contract was updated by the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General (OAG) and the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) to more accurately reflect the statutory language of the Campaign Contribution Restriction and State Ethics Laws (Connecticut General Statutes Sections 9-612 and 1-101qq).

Section 00 73 13 General Conditions Of The Contract For Construction For Design-Bid-Build was updated by the OAG and OPM to clarify the indemnification provisions in Article 35.6 Indemnification and Hold Harmless Provisions.

UPDATED: In accordance with Connecticut General Statutes Section (C.G.S. §) 31-53, as amended by Public Act 25-168 and effective July 1, 2025, the Bidder agrees to include the C.G.S. § 31-53 prevailing wage provision in each contract, including contracts for off-site custom fabrication.

For purposes of this section, "off-site custom fabrication" means the fabrication of systems that are fabricated at a site located within the state other than the location of a public works project, but are fabricated specifically for such public works project, including plumbing systems, heating systems, cooling systems, pipefitting systems, ventilation systems or exhaust duct systems.

"Off-site custom fabrication" does not include components or materials that are stock shelf items or readily available.
