How to bid on John Winthrop Elementary School Phase 2 for Bridgeport

What Bridgeport is buying

The City of Bridgeport is seeking bids for Phase 2 construction work at John Winthrop Elementary School, covering bid packages 1.09–1.15. The opportunity is listed as construction work in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Dates and bid deadline

The listing gives a deadline of November 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. ET. However, its description says paper bids are due at 2:00 p.m. on May 14, 2025, and will then be publicly opened at the Department of Public Purchases. These dates conflict, so check the OpenGov opportunity for the current deadline and submission instructions before preparing or delivering a bid.

Who this opportunity may suit

This opportunity is relevant to construction firms interested in school construction work and able to bid on one or more of packages 1.09–1.15. Review the project plans and package details in OpenGov to determine whether the work matches your firm’s capabilities.

Prepare a complete, competitive bid

Read the plans and requirements for the specific package or packages you plan to bid on. Build your estimate from the listed work, check that your pricing covers the full requested scope, and review your response for missing forms or information required by the solicitation.

Submit questions through the portal if any project detail is unclear. Review posted answers and addenda, then make sure your bid reflects any changes. Because the listing gives conflicting deadline dates and describes paper submission, confirm the current deadline and required delivery method in OpenGov before submitting.
