Pitkin Community Center

The Town of Wethersfield, Connecticut is soliciting proposals for renovations at the Pitkin Community Center under RFP 2026-16, with proposals due August 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a mandatory site walkthrough on July 14 at 2:00 p.m. Proposers must be on the State Bid List of pre-qualified vendors—this is a binding eligibility requirement tied to State Legislative Grant funding.

The scope encompasses repairs, restoration, and replacement in the main women's and men's restrooms, lunch room, and hallways, including replacement of toilet fixtures with extra-tall models, installation of grab bars and ADA-accessible sinks and vanities, new drop acoustical ceilings with LED lighting, wall painting, mirror and light fixture replacement, lunch room cabinet refacing with new countertops, and combination handrails and crash rails throughout hallway areas. The facility, located at 30 Greenfield Street, will be closed to the public from August 22 through September 6, requiring construction scheduling coordination around subsequent events.

Award will be made to the lowest responsible and qualified bidder evaluated on previous experience, qualifications, proposal quality, references, examples of similar work, and ability to complete the work within budget and timeline. Proposers must demonstrate minimum qualifications through specific work experience on similar projects. Contractors must maintain Workers Compensation, General Liability with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence, and Auto Liability with $1 million limits, with certificates of insurance submitted prior to execution. Prevailing wage requirements do not apply.

Written questions are due July 20, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., with responses provided by July 23. Proposals must be submitted in three paper copies and one PDF digital copy to the Town Finance Department at 505 Silas Deane Highway. The Town reserves the right to reject any proposal or cancel the procurement at any time.
