The Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) is seeking responses from qualified contractors with experience in concrete foundation replacement at privately owned homes. The purpose of this RFQ is to provide a list of qualified contractors for an indefinite quantity of potential users, made up of property owners in towns in Central and Eastern Connecticut who need remediation services to replace crumbling concrete foundations at their homes. Responses will be on a rolling basis. This RFQ will close quarterly on the last day of the quarter (March, June, September, December). The number of homes affected is unknown. Defective foundations are known to exist in Andover, Ashford, Bolton, Columbia, Coventry, East Hartford, East Windsor, Ellington, Enfield, Glastonbury, Manchester, Mansfield, Somers, South Windsor, Stafford, Tolland, Union, Vernon, Willington and Woodstock, but there may be as-yet-unidentified properties in other North Central and Northeastern communities.

CRCOG is seeking to add to its list of professional, experienced and qualified residential contractors who can replace a concrete foundation that is crumbling due to a failure of the structural integrity of the foundation related to the presence of pyrrhotite. We are seeking contractors who follow the best practices, as they are currently understood, to remediate a crumbling concrete foundation. The current best practices, as they are understood, is to lift or support the home, remove the foundation and footings, and then replace them with a new foundation and footings.

Successful Respondents will be placed on a list of qualified contractors for the work. The list will be available to individual private property owners for their use in retaining the services of successful Respondents of their choice.
