Goodwin University has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a comprehensive construction project at the Goodwin University Technical High School located in East Hartford, Connecticut, with the state project number 542-0007 MAG/N. The procurement is specifically for Trade Package 1A, which encompasses sitework, vibrocompaction, temporary fencing, and electrical work for the project site. The solicitation requires bidders to submit comprehensive proposals for these technical construction services, with bids due on October 30, 2024, at 1:00 PM EDT. A structured vendor question and answer period is available from October 25, 2024, at 2:45 PM EDT through October 29, 2024, at 7:45 AM EDT, allowing potential bidders to seek clarification on project specifications. The procurement requires all bidders to submit a bid bond as part of their proposal, and the delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination. The project contact is Mark McGovern at Goodwin University, who will manage inquiries and oversee the bidding process.

The solicitation includes specific set-aside requirements for small and minority-owned businesses, mandating 25% participation for Small Business Enterprises (SBE) and 6.25% for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE). These goals are designed to promote diversity and inclusion in the project's contracting process. While the total project budget is not explicitly stated in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the trade package suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The bid is open to all vendors, with no specific restrictions beyond the SBE and MBE participation goals. Payment terms will be vendor-specified, providing flexibility for potential contractors. Although no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project appears to be part of a larger educational infrastructure development initiative for Goodwin University. The solicitation documents indicate that three addenda have been issued, suggesting potential modifications or clarifications to the original bid specifications.
