2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 4b-102. Bidding for certain construction contracts for the Connecticut State University system.
Sec. 4b-102. Bidding for certain construction contracts for the Connecticut
State University system. (a) With respect to any construction contract that is to be
publicly let other than those projects administered under section 4b-52, the Department
of Public Works, on behalf of the Connecticut State University system, may identify a
list of potentially responsible qualified bidders for the particular contract. The Commissioner of Public Works shall give notice to those on the list of the work required and of
the invitation to prequalify. The invitation to prequalify shall contain such information
as the commissioner deems appropriate and a notice of the due date and address to send
responses. Upon receipt of such responses, the Department of Public Works shall select
each bidder that demonstrated the ability to post surety bonds required by such contract
and the financial, managerial and technical ability and integrity necessary, without conflict of interest, for faithful and efficient performance of the work provided for in the
contract. The commissioner shall evaluate whether a bidder is responsible and qualified.
"Responsible and qualified bidder" shall mean the bidder who possesses the skill, ability
and integrity necessary to faithful performance of the work based on objective criteria
considering past performance and financial responsibility. In considering past performance the commissioner shall evaluate the skill, ability and integrity of bidders in terms
of the bidders' fulfillment of contract obligations and the bidders' experience or lack
of experience with projects of the size of the project for which bids are submitted.
(c) The invitation to bid on the construction contract awarded by the Commissioner of Public Works pursuant to this section shall contain such other terms and conditions and such provisions for penalties, as the commissioner deems appropriate.
(d) The Commissioner of Public Works shall require, for the protection of the state and the Connecticut State University system, such deposits, bonds and security in connection with the submission of bids, the awarding of construction contracts and the performance of work as the commissioner determines appropriate and in the public interest of the state.
