The Firehouse Committee has held two informational sessions with contractors interested in bidding on the new facility planned for Shepard Road, according to First Selectman Matt Riiska. Bids for the project, estimated to cost $9.3 million, will be opened July 2, at 2:00 p.m. at Town Hall.
“There will be a lot of bids,” Riiska said, explaining that subcontractors will bid on different components of the construction such as plumbing, electrical work, cement and the like. “The construction management company we hired, Newfield Construction, will open all the bids and [assess] them for us,” Riiska said.
He said the committee hopes site work can begin in August.
