The Mystic & Noank Library is requesting sealed bids for the Landscape Master Plan Phase 1 project under an ITB with bids due October 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT at 40 Library Street, Mystic, Connecticut. The project is state-funded in part by $250,000 under the Connecticut State Library Grant Program for Public Library Construction, triggering mandatory subcontractor set-asides of 25% for DAS-certified Small Businesses and 6.25% for Minority-, Women-, and/or Disabled-owned Businesses, demonstrated through a Good Faith Short Form Plan.
