The City of Stamford, Connecticut is seeking bids for State Project No. 135-337 Phase G, a traffic signal upgrade project located in Fairfield County. The procurement, identified as Bid S-6849, is a public infrastructure improvement initiative focused on enhancing local traffic signal systems. All proposal and bid documents, drawings, and specifications can be accessed through the ProcureWare online platform (https://stamfordct.procureware.com). The bid opening is scheduled for December 28, 2021 at 11:00 AM EST, with a solicitation period running from November 12, 2021.

The contract is specifically subject to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirements, with a mandated 5% utilization goal for certified DBE firms as verified by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT). This set-aside designation means that bidders must demonstrate their ability to meet or exceed the DBE participation threshold to be considered responsive. The solicitation is open to all vendors, with no specific restrictions beyond the DBE requirements. While the estimated total contract value is not explicitly stated in the documentation, the project involves comprehensive traffic signal infrastructure upgrades. No incumbent contractors are mentioned, and the funding appears to be a collaborative effort between the State of Connecticut and the City of Stamford. The contract appears to be structured as a lump-sum project with no specific line items, indicating a comprehensive approach to the traffic signal upgrade initiative.
