This is a Stormwater Pollution Control Plan Report supporting the City of Bridgeport's Runway 11-29 Rehabilitation and Airport Terminal Parking Lot Rehabilitation project at Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Stratford, Connecticut. The project encompasses mill and overlay rehabilitation of Runway 11-29, taxiway rehabilitation across six taxiways, removal of deteriorated runway shoulders, replacement of runway light fixtures and electrical systems, underground electrical infrastructure installation, runway and taxiway markings, drainage infrastructure improvements, and mill and overlay of the terminal loop road and parking lots across seven phased construction areas. The base bid work is scheduled for 90 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with optional alternates adding a maximum of 30 additional days for a total possible contract duration of 120 calendar days. Electronic bid submissions are required through the City's OpenGov Procurement Portal with a deadline of 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, March 19, 2026. The written question submission cutoff is 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 20, 2026, with all answers published as addenda. A mandatory pre-bid conference is required to discuss material requirements, quality control procedures, construction safety and phasing plans, and airport access procedures. Bidders must conduct site visits during normal working hours by contacting the owner to schedule appointments.

Qualified contractors must be licensed in Connecticut, perform at least 25 percent of the work with their own organization, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including $2,000,000 general liability aggregate and $5,000,000 umbrella/excess liability. Contractors must comply with Connecticut prevailing wage rates established by the Connecticut Department of Labor effective January 26, 2026, with classifications ranging from $21.42 to $59.91 per hour plus fringe benefits of $13.95 to $43.62 per hour. The procurement is subject to a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program set-aside of eight percent of the contract cost, with federal requirements superseding all state and local requirements. Bid security in the amount of 10 percent of the maximum bid price is required, along with performance bonds, payment bonds, and a maintenance bond each at 100 percent of the contract amount, except the maintenance bond at 25 percent. Liquidated damages are assessed at $500 per day for individual phase milestones and $1,500 per day for overall construction completion delays. The contract award will be made to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid that is most advantageous to the City considering cost, resources, equipment availability, and other specified factors. Monthly progress payments will be provided with a 5 percent retainage held until final acceptance.
