GL-2027-10 Center Green Fountain Updates-Zoom Instructions.pdf

This is a Zoom meeting invitation and bid opening notice for the Town of Glastonbury Parks Department in Connecticut for the Center Green Fountain Updates project (GL-2027-10). The project involves furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals required to replace an existing fountain, fountain filter, pump system, and electrical equipment currently located within an underground vault. Due to accessibility concerns, moisture intrusion issues, and long-term maintenance challenges, the control and electrical system will be relocated to an above-ground enclosure designed to be both functional and aesthetically compatible with the surrounding landscape, while the new pump system remains in the underground vault to minimize noise. The scope of work includes mechanical, electrical, and plumbing modifications, as well as site improvements. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 17, 2026 at 10:00 AM at the Center Green Fountain location. The public bid opening will be conducted online via Zoom on September 3, 2026 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with no late bids accepted.

All bids must be accompanied by bid security in the form of a bid bond certified at not less than 10% of the base bid amount. The successful bidder will be required to provide performance and labor and material payment bonds in the full amount of the agreed contract price. This project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Connecticut General Statutes Section 31-53. The Town of Glastonbury is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and Minority/Women's Business Enterprises are encouraged to submit bids.
