Here's one more for the calendar: December 15 is bid day for the Department of Environmental Protection's latest green infrastructure job, this one set for various NYC parks in Queens and the Bronx. Bids close at 10:00 AM. The project is listed as 82627B0009-BEPA, and it's filed as construction and construction services.
No location more specific than "various" parks across those two boroughs is given, and there's no dollar estimate in the posting. Nothing on plan holders yet either.
Green infrastructure, in plain terms, is built to grab rainwater off streets, sidewalks, and other hard surfaces before it can flood a sewer system or flood the street itself. DEP runs these retrofits on city-owned sites across the five boroughs, and this job is part of that same effort. DEP has also put out a separate contract for construction management services to oversee this kind of green infrastructure building work, so there's a management layer running alongside the construction contracts themselves.
For a contractor, these GI jobs tend to come in clusters — DEP has multiple similar contracts moving through the pipeline for parks in these same boroughs right now. If your shop does site work, drainage, or landscape-adjacent construction, this is a good one to track alongside the others DEP has recently posted.
Bids are due by 10:00 AM on December 15. Worth checking the solicitation closely against the other recent DEP green infrastructure postings to see if the scope and site list overlap with work you've already been pricing.
