About this file
This is a Notice to Contractors issued by the Connecticut Department of Transportation announcing an upgrade to its bidding process. Effective April 8, 2026, the agency will transition from AASHTOWare Project Bids to enhanced bidding workflows powered by Bidx.com. The migration will streamline bid completion and submission through a browser-based platform compatible with all modern operating systems and browsers, including Mac systems. The initial letting utilizing these new enhancements is scheduled for May 6, 2026, with updated bid tabs and forms accessible on Bidx.com beginning April 8, 2026. The transition eliminates the need for installed software and integrates upfront bidding requirements, including Bidder ID and Infotech Digital ID, into an intuitive workflow. No specific response dates or due dates are outlined in this notice, as it serves as an advance announcement rather than a solicitation document.
The notice contains no pricing terms, set-asides, funding information, or contract-specific details. Instead, it functions as an informational document directing contractors to the Bid Express Knowledge Center Contractor Toolkit for comprehensive resources on bid submission procedures in the new system. Contractors with questions are directed to contact Philip Melchionne at DOTContracts@ct.gov. This announcement precedes the specific contract opportunity for Surface Preservation, Maintenance, and Operations of Bridge Decks in District 1, with a bid opening scheduled for March 4, 2026, which will utilize the existing Bid Express system prior to the April 2026 transition to the enhanced workflow.
