The State University of New York put out a bid for site and civil work tied to chiller and boiler upgrades at Binghamton University's Johnson City Center, with bids due November 12.
The job is listed under solicitation number CR#2140094, filed with the New York State Contract Reporter. The posting covers the site and civil portion of a larger mechanical upgrade — no dollar estimate, specific trade license, or additional location detail is given in the record.
Splitting a mechanical upgrade into a separate site and civil package is common on campus work, and it tells you something about how SUNY is buying this job: somebody else is handling the chillers and boilers themselves, and this piece is about getting the ground ready and the site tied together around that equipment. That usually means excavation, utility tie-ins, paving, or similar groundwork rather than mechanical installation — but the posting itself doesn't spell out the scope beyond the title, so don't assume.
For a site and civil contractor already doing work for SUNY or the state, this is worth a look specifically because it's carved out as its own package — smaller footprint, clearer scope, less competition from mechanical-heavy GCs who'd normally scoop up the whole job.
If this fits your shop, pull the solicitation CR#2140094 from the New York State Contract Reporter and read the actual scope before November 12. Don't guess at what's included — get the documents and confirm the trade and value yourself.
