The City of Norwich, Connecticut, through its Office of Development, is seeking qualified contractors for a Lead Paint Hazard Control & Healthy Homes project located at 47-49 Fairmont Street in Norwich, CT. This procurement is part of the Property Rehabilitation Program funded by HUD's Lead Based Paint Hazard Control in Priority Housing Program. The project requires comprehensive lead abatement activities, including specialized cleaning, obtaining necessary permits, waste disposal, and addressing specific facade and basement elements. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the project location, with bid submissions due by 4:00 PM on September 19, 2025, through the City's online bidding portal. Contractors must demonstrate specific qualifications, including possessing a Connecticut home improvement contractor license and a Connecticut Lead Abatement contractor license where applicable. The awarded contractor will be required to commence work within 90 days of bid award and complete all specified work within 25 calendar days from the notice to proceed, with exterior work mandated for completion no later than May 30th.

The contract has specific restrictions on contractor participation, limiting bidders to no more than two active contracts between Lead and Rehab programs, with new contractors subject to a probationary period allowing only one contract until successful completion. Contractors must provide proof of insurance and will be subject to performance evaluations, including lead abatement clearance testing, with the first two rounds of dust wipe tests included in program costs. Additional testing for subsequent failures will be charged at $80.00 per hour to the contractor. The total project budget is set at $44,950.00, with payments processed through Program Management after inspection and approval, and a minimum 15-day payment timeline for approved invoices. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bidding process appears to be open to qualified contractors meeting the specified licensing and performance requirements. The project emphasizes contractor accountability and adherence to lead abatement standards in a residential rehabilitation context.
