About this file
This is a comprehensive Project Manual and Bid Documents for the Renovations of Scotland Town Hall located at 9 Devotion Road in Scotland, Connecticut, prepared as of February 20, 2026. The project involves extensive renovation and restoration work on a multi-phase municipal building originally constructed in 1840 with additions in 1898 and 1980. The scope of work encompasses structural repairs, historic window restoration and replication, sheet metal flashing and trim work, interior finishes including gypsum board assemblies and tiling, wood flooring restoration, painting (both interior and exterior), site preparation and landscaping, utility drainage systems, and installation of accessibility features including a limited-use elevator. The specifications detail work across 34 technical sections covering everything from demolition and site clearing through final landscaping, with particular emphasis on historic preservation standards and procedures for handling hazardous materials including asbestos, lead-based paint, and PCB-containing materials. Bidders are required to demonstrate five years of experience in relevant trades, employ foreman-level supervisors with comparable experience, and comply with all state and federal regulations including prevailing wage requirements and Davis-Bacon rates for federal funding sources.
The contract includes requirements for multiple submittals including product data, shop drawings, samples, and quality assurance documentation at various project phases, with mock-ups required for critical work such as window restoration and painting systems. Payment terms follow standard construction practices with prevailing wage rates mandated by Connecticut State Department of Labor and applicable Davis-Bacon rates due to federal funding involvement. The project includes a targeted pre-demolition hazardous materials survey documenting the presence of asbestos in joint compound, vinyl floor tiles, mudded pipe elbows, and pipe wrap insulation, along with lead-based paint throughout the structure, PCB testing results for caulks and sealants, and elevated radon levels in the basement requiring mitigation. Contractor warranties vary by trade, ranging from three to five years, with specific performance guarantees for roofing, sealants, flooring, and other systems. The contract documents include detailed appendices with Connecticut prevailing wage rates, Davis-Bacon wage rates, the hazardous materials survey report, and specifications organized by CSI division covering all aspects of the renovation work with references to applicable ASTM standards, industry manuals, and building codes.
