East Hartford High School Roof Replacement State Project # 043-0245 RR

East Hartford Public Schools (EHPS) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 1795-22) for the East Hartford High School Roof Replacement project, a state project numbered 043-0245 RR located at 869 Forbes Street in East Hartford, Connecticut. The procurement seeks a contractor to replace approximately 240,000 square feet of existing roofing systems, which currently consist of gravel ballast covering 4-ply asphalt roofing over 2-4" fiberglass insulation and a vapor barrier mopped on a gypsum deck. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on March 3, 2022, at 1:00 PM outside the high school's main lobby, which served as the sole opportunity for contractors to view the jobsite. The bid solicitation period runs from March 4, 2022, to March 25, 2022, with bids due by 12:00 PM EDT. The project documents include drawings, a project manual, a mandatory pre-bid conference sign-in sheet, and one addendum, with Anthony Ruffo serving as the point of contact for any questions regarding the solicitation. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be specified by the vendor.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations, socioeconomic preferences, or restrictions on vendor participation. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing roofing infrastructure that might require special consideration during replacement. The bid is open to all vendors without apparent limitations, and no estimated total project value is disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be a straightforward roof replacement project funded by the State of Connecticut and located within Hartford County. Contractors interested in responding to the ITB are expected to carefully review the project manual, drawings, and addendum to understand the complete technical requirements and specifications for the roof replacement. The lack of detailed pricing information or budget ranges suggests that competitive bidding will be the primary method for determining the project's final cost.
