Technical questions should be directed to Danile DeBoo, Construction Manager, at (203) 977-5894 or ddeboo@stamfordct.gov.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or explicit restrictions on organizational types. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. The documents do not specify a precise award value, budget range, or estimated project cost. Additionally, no specific details are provided regarding disadvantaged enterprise participation or preferential treatment for small, minority-owned, or local businesses. The procurement process follows a two-step evaluation method where firms must first meet qualification criteria before their proposals will be considered for the architectural and engineering services project. No deposit is required for the RFQ/RFP, and the solicitation suggests a comprehensive review of potential vendors' qualifications, experience, and proposed approach to the South School facilities project.
