END OF STANDARD INSTRUCTIONS

SCOPE OF SERVICES

1. BACKGROUND

The domestic hot water at Valley Regional High School is produced by two oil fired boilers, and four 38-gallon indirect water heaters. There are two recirculation pumps and a mixing valve that distribute the hot water to the building. This system is located in the boiler room at the school, with the pumps and mixing valve located on the mezzanine. The boilers were installed in 1992, and the water heaters were installed in 2012. One of the boilers is currently shut down and isolated from the system due to a leak in between two sections. Given the age and condition of the boilers, the age of the water heaters, and the application of residential style water heaters in a commercial setting, the school has elected to remove the entire system and install three 80-gallon commercial grade oil fired water heaters in its place.

2. TIMELINE

This project will take place during summer vacation in 2026. The last day of school is currently scheduled for June 19, 2026. Work can begin on June 22, 2026. The deadline for completion of this project is July 31, 2026. Any work needing to take place after this date must be approved by the Facilities Director.

Since school will not be in session, a temporary solution for hot water is not required for this project. Any shutdown will need to be coordinated with the facilities director to ensure that any activities taking place at the school are not adversely affected.

3. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

a) The contractor is responsible for the removal and disposal of all removed material, and any waste associated with this project. Region 4 schools will not provide any disposal services for this project, and the contractor will not dispose of any waste in dumpsters paid for by Region 4.

b) The contractor will be required to handle all other customary activities and services associated with this scope of work.

c) The successful bidder shall be responsible for clearing all debris on a daily basis. The successful bidder shall be responsible for the protection and safety of the surrounding structures and areas of the school. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the stage and surrounding areas are not damaged by the lift or any debris.

d) All materials shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications.

Inspections will be performed while the work is in progress and at the completion of the project to insure compliance with the Scope of Work and all federal, state, and local regulations.

e) RSD 4 Board and the successful Proposer shall negotiate a contract or contracts for the Services, which contract or contracts shall include the provisions in these Proposal Documents and such additional provisions that RSD 4 Board deems necessary. The parties shall negotiate a final Contract within a reasonable time period after the selection of a Proposer. If the parties cannot agree on a Contract within thirty (30) days after RSD 4

Board has selected a Proposer, RSD 4 Board may enter into discussions with another Proposer. Each Proposer shall be thoroughly familiar with all the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Proposal Documents.

f) Information from Proposals may be incorporated into the final Contract, as determined by RSD 4 Board.

g) These Proposal Documents are not a contract offer, and no contract will exist unless and until a written Contract is signed by RSD 4 Board and the successful Proposer.

h) Please note: All information submitted for review may be subject to the Freedom of Information Act and may be made available upon request by the public. Proposers should identify any confidential, proprietary information or trade secrets and provide justification why such material should not be disclosed.

i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, by submitting a Proposal, the Proposer thereby acknowledges that pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes § 10 - 241d, as amended, RSD 4 Board may consult with the legislative bodies of its member towns regarding this Invitation to Submit Proposals and any and all responses thereto and any other related information.
