BID - Emergency Generator Service 2006

This document provides information about the sales tax bond requirements for nonresident contractors in the state of Connecticut. According to Public Act No. 03-6, nonresident contractors must furnish a guarantee bond for 5% of the total cost of the work. This bond must be issued under a purchase order against a service agreement. The document specifies that Form AU-766 must be submitted for each purchase order, change order, or supplement issued against the service agreement. The requirement for a guarantee bond applies to out-of-state contractors providing renovation or new work that involves material being installed or incorporated into it. Work strictly related to repair with no renovation or new work component is exempt from this requirement. Nonresident contractors must also complete and submit Form REG-1, Business Taxes Registration Application, to register with the Department of Revenue Services (DRS) and obtain a Connecticut Tax Registration Number. The nonresident contractor has 120 days from the commencement of the purchase order to file the guarantee bond. Once the bond is filed and accepted by the DRS, a copy of the acceptance form must be submitted to the department issuing the purchase order/change order/supplement. The Town of Greenwich is then no longer obligated to withhold 5% of the contractor's invoices. If the acceptance form is not received within 120 days, the Town is required by law to withhold 5% of the purchase order/change order/supplement total and remit it to the DRS. The Town is also obligated to withhold 5% from each nonresident contractor's invoice if the acceptance form is not provided within the specified timeframe. The document also includes information about indemnification, insurance requirements, and specifications for an Electric Generator Service Company to maintain and service systems within the Town of Greenwich. The contractor must respond to work requests within 4 hours and obtain approval from the Building Construction & Maintenance Division of the Department of Public Works before starting any work. Furthermore, the document highlights the importance of Public Safety Buildings in protecting lives and property in the Town.
