East Steet Housing - Morris Housing Authority

Morris Housing Authority is requesting proposals for construction of the remaining infrastructure, building foundations, building structures, driveways, parking, and all related work to complete 8 units of affordable housing in 2 one-story slab-on-grade buildings at 103 East Street, Morris, Connecticut, with proposals due September 3, 2026.

The scope encompasses the second phase of the East Street Housing project; initial site preparation will be completed before this phase begins. Work divisions span general requirements, concrete, wood framing, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, specialties, equipment, furnishings, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, fire alarm, exterior improvements, utilities, and site work as detailed on Sheet C1 of the project plans. The contractor must accept the site as it exists and remove any encumbrances interfering with work fulfillment without additional compensation. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is required for contractors to become fully informed of existing conditions.

The contract is awarded as a lump sum with completion in business calendar days on a contractor/owner agreed-upon schedule. The contractor must obtain all permits, fees, and required inspections at no additional cost to the owner. All construction workers must maintain visible identification, comply with OSHA standards Part 1910 and Part 1926, and work in an alcohol and drug-free environment. Pricing must encompass all taxes, fees, permits, and costs to meet the agreed completion date; overtime or additional personnel costs to meet the deadline will not be considered after contract award.

The contractor must provide a detailed construction schedule, submittal schedule, and site logistics plan addressing access, phasing, emergency circulation, fencing, staging areas, and temporary facilities within specified timeframes. All construction debris must be removed daily. Temporary fencing (8 feet high, galvanized steel chain-link with scrim) must be installed immediately upon mobilization. The contractor shall maintain record documents including marked-up drawings, submittals, RFIs, and change orders, providing monthly updates and final reproducible documents plus two thumb drives upon project completion.
