If you do bridge or structural work, pay attention: Ahern Painting Contractors, Inc. is the prime contractor on a bridge preservation job at the Henry Hudson Bridge, and they're looking for subcontractor bids now.
The job is listed under solicitation number CR#2139824, with work located in New York. The posting doesn't spell out which trades are wanted, so if your shop does anything that touches bridge preservation — painting, coatings, structural steel repair, containment, or related specialty work — reach out and ask what scopes are still open.
Subcontractor quotes are due to Ahern by October 23. That's a tight window, so don't wait to make the call.
The Henry Hudson Bridge has been carrying traffic since 1936, connecting northern Manhattan to the Bronx, with northbound traffic on the upper level and southbound on the lower. It was the longest plate girder arch and fixed arch bridge in the world when it opened — a ninety-year-old structure like that needs ongoing preservation work, which is exactly the kind of job that keeps painting and coating contractors busy for years, not just one contract cycle.
The posting doesn't list a project value or any set-aside requirements, so ask Ahern about those details directly when you call.
Get in touch with Ahern Painting Contractors, Inc. this week. Confirm the scope they need priced, and get your quote in before the October 23 deadline.
