65 Main Exterior Painting - Reissue

The Town of Thompson in Tolland County, Connecticut, has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) #24584 for a comprehensive exterior painting project for a historic, town-owned structure located at 65 Main Street in the North Grosvenordale neighborhood. The project, funded through a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) award, involves the full preparation and painting of exterior siding and trims, with substantial caulking required prior to sealing and painting. The structure has already undergone abatement and significant portions of siding and millwork have been repaired, with the ultimate goal of converting the building into a municipally-sponsored small business support and education center. The solicitation period runs from August 14, 2024, at 2:30 PM EDT to September 3, 2024, at 12:00 PM EDT, with a vendor Q&A period scheduled from August 14 at 3:00 PM EDT to August 29 at 4:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors are required to provide comprehensive pricing for the entire scope of work, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination and payment terms to be vendor-specified. Supporting documentation for the project includes current conditions documentation, building rates information, and a property record card.

The solicitation is open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation, and there are no specified integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The solicitation documents do not provide an estimated total project value or specific budget range, leaving pricing open to vendor interpretation. Vendors will need to assess the project requirements through the provided supporting documents and submit comprehensive bids accordingly. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Tyra Penn-Gesek from the Town of Thompson Planning office, who can provide additional information or clarification about the project. While the exact funding amount from the U.S. SBA is not disclosed, the award will support the renovation and transformation of the historic structure into a small business support center.
