Deferred submittals include manufacturer-sealed restroom drawings, structural calculations, anchorage, foundation reaction loads, and utility specifications. The contractor must obtain all necessary building permits from the City of Groton and pay associated permit fees.

Work must be completed within 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $200 per consecutive calendar day for delays. Bid security equal to 10% of the bid amount is required for bids exceeding $50,000. Performance and payment bonds are required per statutory thresholds. General Liability insurance with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, plus Workers Compensation at statutory limits, is mandatory. Prevailing wage rates apply under Connecticut General Statute Section 31-53; contractors must submit certified weekly payrolls and comply with construction safety and health training requirements. The Town will retain 5% of the final contract price for up to six months from final project acceptance. The award will go to the lowest responsible bidder.
