Five firms bid DDC's Prior Notice Sidewalks contract for Staten Island on September 24, and Maspeth Supply Co, LLC posted the apparent low at $4,290,118.56 — preliminary per DDC, not yet a confirmed award. That's more than $1 million under the city's engineer's estimate of $5,380,000, one of the wider estimate-to-bid gaps in this week's sidewalk batch.

JRCruz Corp. followed close behind at $4,418,742.24, putting the top two bidders within about $128,600 of each other — a tight finish that reads as a genuine price competition rather than one firm running away with it. The field rounds out with BIB Services Corp at $4,616,793.72, DiFazio Industries at $4,913,894.44, and Dragonetti Brothers Landscaping topping the tab at $5,247,842.58. A 3% spread between low and high across five bidders is a notably tight tab for highways work — everyone in this field read the quantities close to the same way.

Like the Queens and Bronx sidewalk contracts bid the same week, this is prior-notice sidewalk repair — the routine but steady curb-and-concrete work that keeps a highways crew busy borough by borough. Dragonetti Brothers shows up as the high bidder here after also topping the Queens and Bronx tabs this week, a pattern worth watching if you're trying to read how that firm is pricing this specific program right now.

With three sidewalk contracts bid across three boroughs inside two days — Queens, Bronx, and now Staten Island — DDC is clearly running this program citywide this fall, and Maspeth Supply and Vales Construction are the two firms showing up as apparent low across them. For subs and suppliers in curb-and-sidewalk work, that's the short list of GCs worth calling if these awards confirm.
