Wolcott Hill Road Sewer Main Extension

The Metropolitan District (MDC) in Hartford County, Connecticut is requesting sealed bids for the Wolcott Hill Road Sewer Main Extension project in Wethersfield, with bids due September 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. and a mandatory pre-bid conference on August 20, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. The project carries an 11% Small Business Enterprise set-aside requirement under Connecticut's program.

Bidders must hold a current DAS Contractor Prequalification Certificate in Sewer and Water Lines from the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services — a hard eligibility gate.

All materials must be manufactured in NAFTA countries — specifically the United States, Canada, or Mexico unless specified otherwise in the bid documents.

The successful bidder must self-perform a minimum of 25% of the contract value. The contract includes unit price items for miscellaneous work, sewers and appurtenances, excavation and backfill, maintenance and protection of traffic, paved and unpaved surface restoration, final mill and overlay pavement, and removal of existing asbestos sewer mains. Prevailing wage requirements based on Connecticut Department of Labor rates and OSHA compliance are mandatory. Bidders must submit a 10% bid security.
