Invitation to Bid for Construction Services

Connecticut Department of Administrative Services is requesting bids for construction services at Old New-Gate, a Department of Correction facility at 106 New Gate Road, East Granby, Connecticut, under ITB 2621BIRR31, with bids due October 14, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT. Bids exceeding $1 million require the bidder to be currently prequalified with DAS — a primary eligibility filter. The procurement employs a two-round bidding process in which detailed specifications and drawings are withheld until after a mandatory meeting that qualified contractors must attend to proceed to Round 2.

Bidders must submit a bid proposal form, certificate of authority, standard bid bond, general contractor bidder's qualification statement, and named subcontractor signature pages if applicable. All bids exceeding $1 million must include a DAS prequalification certificate and update statement. State law mandates a minimum spending allocation goal for award to subcontractors holding current DAS certification; the contractor must demonstrate good faith effort in meeting these goals. Work is subject to Connecticut General Statutes Sections 4a-60, 4a-60g, and 46a-68b through 46a-68f regarding Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities requirements.

Questions are due September 30, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT. The question-and-answer period opened September 1, 2026 at 1:30 PM EDT. Payment terms are Net 30 Days. Plan holder lists and pre-bid site meeting attendance lists are available through the DAS Construction Services Bid Board on CTsource. The contact is Heather Schlink at DAS Construction Services, 450 Columbus Blvd, Hartford, CT 06103.
