Land Bank Authority is seeking Proposals from qualified general contractors to carry out the new construction of two (2) prefabricated modular (duplex) housing units on two independent but contiguous parcels located at 234 and 238 Orange Street, Waterbury, Connecticut. Said Project is more specifically described in Attachment G.

The property information including a proposed site sketch with building envelope is identified in Attachment E. This RFP process shall be conducted consistent with the provisions of the City of Waterbury Code of Ordinances, Chapters 38-39, also known as

The RFP process shall be administered by the City of Waterbury Purchasing Department.

A. Background and Intent

The purpose of this RFP is to secure a qualified general contractor with either: experience in prefabricated modular housing development and experience in site work in Waterbury or similar urban areas; or experience as a general contractor with the ability to procure and acquire modular home units from a reputable modular home manufacturer, and has extensive experience in site work in Waterbury or similar urban areas. The general contractor should have experience or knowledge of HUD Grant Guidelines.

The general contractor will be required to be familiar with federal requirements, as published see section 5 of the below grant guide, pages 16

27) CPF Grant Guide - July 2026 Version 1.0. (Pages 16 to 27 of this guide as noted, are included within this RFP for reference as Attachment L.)

Since the project will include a prefabricated modular home development whereby the units are manufactured within the manufacturers warehouse, HUD Davis Bacon and Section 3 requirements do not apply to the units per se. These requirements are required, however, for any work done on the site.

The WLB will work with the general contractor to qualify local contractors as it pertains to the Section 3 requirements.

The HUD Section 3 Documentation (includes 13 pages) included as Attachment K.

eived funding from the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) via the CT State Congressionally es/ of prefabricated modular construction (housing units) on two independent but contiguous parcels located at 234 and 238 Orange Street which is within the W.O.W. (Walnut Orange Walsh) Neighborhood within the City of Waterbury. Each parcel will be improved with one modular duplex unit along with necessary site work to accommodate a driveway and three

(3) on-site parking spaces, and accessory landscaping. (Please see Attachment G.)

This RFP is seeking qualified and professional general contractors who have an established track record. An established contractual relationship with a prefabricated modular housing manufacturer is a plus but not required.

The WLB owns the parcels which are subject of this RFP with each parcel being suitable for housing development. Each parcel will be independently developed with a two-story duplex.

The proposed width of each modular unit is 24 LF which is in accordance to City Planning and Zoning requirements. The proposed SF area of each unit will be 900 to 950 SF. The desired number of bedrooms per unit is three on the first floor and at least two on the second floor. We would anticipate each duplex to have a crawl space (basement not required.) Each unit shall also have public utilities (gas and electric) and HVAC units with air conditioning.

The contractor will work with the WLB on this project, and in accomplishing this goal. The WLB anticipates that the selected contractor would provide a fee proposal for the work described and outlined in Attachment J. The WLB will assist the general contractor as a liaison with the City. It has been determined that all permit fees by the City will be waived, therefore, permit fees are not included in the cost proposal.

Project Information in Attachment G, includes a project summary, concept plan with building envelope sketch, a sample floor plan(s), and a proposed timeline. It is assumed that the foundation will include an appropriate crawl space to accommodate site infrastructure /hook ups, or other mechanicals. No basement is required.

Property Information in Attachment E, includes a location map, tax map for each parcel, assessor property card, and a survey of the property. The contractor may come to the WLB office to review the survey if needed. Additionally, the WLB has completed a Phase 1 environmental area assessment of the site; and a HUD environmental study. No contaminants were observed during these studies.

It is the intent of the WLB for the Successful Proposer to furnish all labor, services, materials, tools, equipment, transportation and incidentals necessary to execute and properly finish the Project, as detailed and described herein.

Funding for this Pr Initiative - Community Project Funding (HUD-CPF). will be provided to the general contractor at the time of the mandatory site visit.

WELDERS - Receive rate prescribed for cra� performing opera�on to which welding is incidental.

Note: Execu�ve Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the

Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicita�on was issued) on or a�er January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permited to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preven�ve care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preven�ve care; or for reasons resul�ng from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a vic�m of, domes�c violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Addi�onal informa�on on contractor requirements and worker protec�ons under the EO is available at htps://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Note: Execu�ve Order 13658 generally applies to contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act that were awarded on or between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, and that have not been renewed or extended on or a�er January 30, 2022. Execu�ve Order 13658 does not apply to contracts subject only to the Davis-Bacon Related Acts regardless of when they were awarded. If a contract is subject to

Execu�ve Order 13658, the contractor must pay all covered workers at least $13.65 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage determina�on, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract from May 11, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The applicable Execu�ve Order minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually.

Addi�onal informa�on on contractor requirements and worker protec�ons under Execu�ve Order 13658 is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifica�ons needed for work not included within the scope of the classifica�ons listed may be added a�er award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses

(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).

The body of each wage determina�on lists the classifica�ons and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construc�on and geographic area covered by the wage determina�on. The classifica�ons are listed in alphabe�cal order under rate iden�fiers indica�ng whether the par�cular rate is a union rate (current union nego�ated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classifica�on rate.

Union Rate Iden�fiers

A four-leter iden�fier beginning with characters other than

SU , UAVG , SA , or SC denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classifica�on in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an iden�fier of the union whose collec�vely bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classifica�on, which in this example would be Plumbers.

0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determina�on. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effec�ve date of the most current nego�ated rate.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over �me that are reported to WHD in the rates in the collec�ve bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classifica�on.

Union Average Rate Iden�fiers

The UAVG iden�fier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifica�ons, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifica�ons reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:

UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.

The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determina�on. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determina�on was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the collec�ve bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.

Survey Rate Iden�fiers

The SU iden�fier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this classifica�on in the survey or that the rate was derived by compu�ng a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classifica�on. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007

6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classifica�on. FL indicates the State of Florida.
