Roaring Brook Farm Agricultural Construction Project

The North Central Conservation District, in collaboration with Roaring Brook Farm, LLC, is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a comprehensive agricultural construction project located in Connecticut. The project involves constructing an agricultural Waste Storage Facility with an attached Free-stall Barn and Milk house at Roaring Brook Farm. Interested Construction Firms must submit comprehensive proposals that include detailed qualifications, professional experience, financial proposals, and comprehensive staffing plans. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for July 1, 2024, at 10:30 AM, where project drawings will be available and specification packages will be distributed. The solicitation period opens on June 17, 2024, at 5:30 PM EDT and closes on July 17, 2024, at 11:45 PM EDT, with all proposals due by the final submission deadline. Prospective contractors should note that project drawings are attached to the RFP, and additional specifications will be provided during the mandatory on-site meeting. The RFP emphasizes that Davis-Bacon requirements do not apply to this specific project.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. The project will be primarily funded through grants, with payment structured around the completion of major project elements. Contractors can expect prompt payment following submission of invoices, certification of work by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and subsequent receipt of funds from project funders. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated in the documentation, the project involves significant agricultural infrastructure construction. Interested parties seeking additional information are directed to contact Joanna Shapiro or Seth Aborn at RBFAgWaste@gmail.com. The procurement will utilize Free On Board Destination delivery terms, and the project represents a significant capital improvement initiative for agricultural infrastructure in Connecticut.
