SCD_Waiver.pdf

This document is an email exchange between City of New Haven municipal employees regarding a public bid waiver for the Dixwell Community House Signage project. The communication involves Melissa Kops, a Project Manager and Architect, and Lilia Snyder, a Program Manager, discussing the procurement approach for signage services. Specifically, Lilia Snyder recommends proceeding with a non-sheltered market public bid because the current SCD (Sheltered/Special Commercial Disability) registered contractors cannot provide the required services for the project.

The email thread indicates this is an internal administrative communication within the City of New Haven's Department of Engineering, located at 200 Orange Street, Suite 503. No specific details are provided about the signage project's scope, budget, or timeline. The key action item is the decision to open the bid to the broader market rather than limiting it to SCD-registered contractors, suggesting flexibility in the city's procurement process to ensure project completion.
