The Punch List

Today's briefing, from groundbreaking to topping out

Verified

DDC's South Queens sewers tab is official: Maspeth Supply low at $9.88M — 26.8% under the $13.5M engineer's estimate — while the high bid doubled it. Watch the opening on the story page.

Deadline Day

Closing today: all eight Manhattan legs of NYCHA's vinyl-tile IDIQ blitz, Lindenhurst's school security vestibules, Westbury's PFAS Well 16, and Suffolk's pre-engineered metal buildings.

Verify First

MTA's Cross Bay & Marine Parkway security package (AW-9Y, $10M est.) is listed due today — the MTA portal blocked overnight verification, so confirm the date before you submit.

Tomorrow

Queens College's Remsen Hall food-science lab EOI (DASNY #3800809999) closes tomorrow at 2 p.m. — confirmed live on the portal this morning.

Closed

Brooklyn College's LaGuardia server-room HVAC bid ($3.77M est.) closed Tuesday and is off the DASNY list — the tab hits the Bid Board when DASNY publishes it.

Thursday

Tomorrow's pile-up: 15+ packages close August 13, from Rye Brook's AJP floor replacement to John Jay Homestead's $16.4M restoration and the Holland Tunnel transformer package.

Friday

The Bronx leg of NYCHA's 25-contract tile blitz closes Friday — seven IDIQ packages from Patterson to Mill Brook Houses.

Sub Bids

The midday scan lands two GC sub calls: Ben Ciccone seeks paving/concrete subs on the Orangeburg Armory lots (due August 19), and CUBE Construction wants subs for the Washington Irving library renovation in Bushwick (August 26).
