The Town of Manchester, Connecticut has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) #25/26-11 for procuring LED luminaires specifically manufactured by Signify North America. The procurement targets 50 total LED luminaires, comprising 40 Lumec RoadFocus 120W and 10 Lumec RoadFocus 241W models, to be delivered to 361 Hilliard Street in Manchester. The bid was released on August 20, 2025, with a critical deadline for questions set for August 29, 2025, and a firm bid response deadline of September 3, 2025, at 11:00 am. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Town of Manchester Procurement Portal, with a virtual bid opening to be conducted via Zoom. The Town reserves the right to purchase additional quantities at the same unit price for one year following the award date, and no substitute fixtures will be accepted beyond the specified Lumec models. Bidders must provide comprehensive vendor information, including company details, contact information, and authorization for contract signing.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations, though the Town of Manchester is noted as an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Compliance with federal and state safety standards is mandatory, and contractors must complete the 10-hour OSHA Construction Safety and Health Course for public works projects. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves 50 LED luminaires with unit pricing to be determined through the bidding process. The Town has included provisions for potential tariff increases, with the right to reject proposed price adjustments or seek alternative suppliers. The luminaires come with a 10-year limited warranty and must meet various industry standards, including cULus listing, DesignLights Consortium qualification, and ANSI C136 standards. Contractors will be required to submit monthly certified payrolls and provide workers' compensation coverage, with potential penalties for non-compliance including significant fines and potential imprisonment for falsifying documentation.
