DAS reserves the right to make multiple awards to qualified contractors with no guarantee of minimum work volume or expenditure to any single awardee.

The contract term runs January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2029, with mutual-agreement extension permitted for additional terms not to exceed the original three-year term. Pricing is fixed for years one through three, with annual adjustments thereafter capped at the lesser of actual U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index change or four percent. Proposers must submit fully burdened hourly labor rates, equipment schedules with fair market value documentation, and material pricing with cost-plus percentages. Payment is Net 45 days (or Net 25 for certified small contractors or minority business enterprises) via ACH or state purchasing card.

Evaluation criteria are firm qualifications and past performance, technical expertise and project management capabilities, personnel qualifications and staffing capacity, Connecticut regulatory and agency experience, and pricing competitiveness and value.
