About this opportunity

Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Connecticut, in partnership with the State of Connecticut Office of Early Childhood (OEC), is conducting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Early Childhood Facility Construction and Renovation Grant Program. The procurement seeks to identify and establish a pool of licensed construction contractors, architects, and consultants with experience in childcare facility projects throughout Connecticut. Interested parties must complete an online Smartsheet form to submit their qualifications, with the solicitation opening on October 29, 2025, at 1:00 PM EDT and closing on February 3, 2027, at 8:00 AM EST. The primary objective is to support early childhood facility construction and renovation, with a specific focus on increasing access to care programs in areas with the greatest need. LISC will utilize the submitted qualifications to create contractor lists that will be shared with childcare providers and technical assistance partners, and to identify potential vendors for future project bidding opportunities. Qualified vendors will be considered for projects funded through Connecticut's general obligation bonds, with payments authorized by LISC based on approved scopes of work, corresponding payment plans, and evidence of completed work.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. While the RFQ is open to licensed construction contractors, architects, and consultants with relevant experience, no specific details are provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation. The program is funded entirely through state general obligation bonds, with the primary goal of expanding early childhood care facilities across Connecticut. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and there are no specified details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation does not provide an estimated total contract value or specific budget range for individual projects. Interested parties can direct any questions about the RFQ to LISC Connecticut at ctoecfund@lisc.org or contact specific program representatives at their Hartford office, including Elizabeth Fraser, Maxiel Sanchez, Kadeem McKoy, and Kasey LaFlam.
