Pre-Bid Conference Announcement: Indefinite Quantity Construction Svcs ezIQC

The Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) is soliciting proposals for an Indefinite Quantity Construction Services (ezIQC) contract to provide general construction services on an as-needed basis for Hartford County and Hartford City jurisdictions in Connecticut. This procurement is designed to establish a flexible contract that allows municipal and regional entities to access construction services as required, without predefined line items or specific project specifications. The solicitation seeks qualified contractors capable of delivering a wide range of construction services with vendor-specified payment and delivery terms. A pre-bid conference was held on September 20, 2023, to provide additional information to potential vendors. The procurement period runs from September 20, 2023, to October 28, 2023, with a designated vendor question and answer period from September 29, 2023 (9:15 AM EDT) to October 21, 2023 (9:00 AM EDT). Interested vendors can submit questions and seek clarification during this period, with the primary procurement contact being Kimberly Bona of CRCOG, who can be reached at 860-724-4292 or kbona@crcog.org.

The solicitation documents do not specify any set-aside designations, restrictions on vendor eligibility, or preferences for small, minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that might require integration. Similarly, the procurement documents do not indicate an estimated contract value, budget range, or potential award value. The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors and maintains a broad, flexible approach to procurement. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the individual vendors. The lack of specific line items, detailed specifications, or funding source information suggests CRCOG is seeking a comprehensive and adaptable construction services contract that can meet a variety of potential municipal and regional construction needs.
