Long Jump Pit and/or Discus Cage Installation at 2 CREC Schools

CREC is requesting proposals from qualified vendors for the construction of two (2) long jump runways and landing pits, along with the installation of two (2) discus cages and related components. The work will be performed as a standalone athletic facility improvement and will meet all applicable NFHS specifications and manufacturer standards.

Vendors are not required to submit pricing for all three options but must follow the structured pricing format provided in this RFQ.

The Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) is the first and largest of Connecticut's six Regional Educational Service Centers (RESCs). It serves thirty five member public school districts of north central Connecticut. CREC was established in 1966 as a grassroots effort of local school districts under the provisions of the Connecticut General Statute (C.G.S.), Section 10-66 a.-n. The Connecticut State Department of Education is CREC’s regulatory State agency.

Publicly elected board of education members appointed by each member school district served by CREC as CREC Council directors govern CREC. The office term of such appointed Council directors cannot exceed four years. The Council appoints an executive director to serve as the executive agent of CREC. Pursuant to C.G.S. 10-66c, CREC, as a regional educational service center, is a body corporate and politic and, as such, is a public educational authority acting on behalf of the State of Connecticut. The Internal Revenue Service has determined CREC to be an organization described in Section 170 (c) (1) of the Code. CREC's mission is to improve the quality of public education through cooperative programs.

CREC is pleased to make this RFP available and looks forward to receiving your Proposals.
