The City of Norwalk, Connecticut, located in Fairfield County, is seeking bids for a comprehensive fuel island pump replacement project at the Norwalk Police Department. The procurement involves furnishing and installing a new dual-product, dual-hose gasoline fuel dispenser system with associated infrastructure, including removal of existing dispensers, sumps, and related components. Key project deliverables include installation of new concrete pads, fuel piping with double-wall flexible tubing, protective ducting, a transition sump, and all necessary electrical work to create a fully operational system. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 4, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the police department, with electronic bid submissions due by 2:00 p.m. on December 17, 2025, and hard copy submissions due by 2:00 p.m. on December 19, 2025. The project is set to begin in March 2026, with a deadline for submitting questions at 2:00 p.m. on December 10, 2025. Bidders must comply with Connecticut Department of Labor prevailing wage rates, provide certified weekly payroll, and meet comprehensive insurance requirements including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability, automobile liability, and umbrella coverage, as well as $5,000,000 in environmental liability insurance.

Contractors must be prepared to provide a 10 percent bid deposit, a 100 percent performance and payment bond, and a maintenance bond. The project includes a bid alternate for replacing the existing tank monitoring control panel with a web-enabled system, complete with new magnetostrictive tank gauge probes and associated wiring. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, contractors must adhere to federal, state, and local laws, including equal employment opportunity provisions and occupational safety standards. Liquidated damages of $200 per day will be assessed for failing to meet project completion deadlines. The contractor will be responsible for obtaining and paying for all required permits, as well as covering all material costs, labor, equipment, and services necessary to complete the project. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the project and the extensive insurance and bonding requirements suggest a significant investment in modernizing the police department's fuel infrastructure.
