Board and Secure Vacant Buildings

The City of Bristol, Connecticut is seeking to establish a roster of qualified contractors to respond to emergency calls from the Chief Building Official for boarding and securing vacant buildings throughout the municipality. This is an open-ended standing roster procurement rather than a single project with a defined completion date, designed to provide the city with immediate access to pre-qualified vendors during emergency situations. The scope of work requires contractors to board windows and doors, secure building entrances, remove hazardous materials, and perform other necessary actions to render vacant structures safe and secure. Contractors must be available on an emergency basis and capable of responding within specified timeframes, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Qualifications requirements include appropriate licensing, adequate insurance coverage, and demonstrated experience in emergency building securing and boarding services. Pricing must be submitted on a unit-cost basis for various services such as window boarding, door securing, and debris removal, allowing the city to request services on an as-needed basis. The solicitation deadline is October 10, 2025, with the city reserving the right to award to multiple contractors based on qualifications, capacity, and geographic service areas.

The solicitation document does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular organization types or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available materials. The procurement does not reference integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology systems. The specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the solicitation summary provided, as compensation will be determined through unit-cost pricing for individual services requested on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term. Interested contractors should submit proposals by the October 10, 2025 deadline to be considered for inclusion on the qualified contractor roster.
