Here's one for electricians who like steady work instead of chasing one-off jobs: Longwood Central School District is taking bids for a cooperative term contract for electrical services, due by 11 a.m. on Thursday, November 5, at Longwood's Central Administrative Building in Middle Island.
This isn't just a Longwood job. It's a co-op bid, meaning Longwood runs the bidding process but the contract covers multiple Suffolk County school districts in its purchasing consortium, including Eastern and Western Suffolk BOCES. Win this and you could be doing electrical work across a bunch of districts under one contract instead of bidding each one separately.
The numbers on this one are light but real: a $100 bid security is required, and prevailing wage applies, which it typically does on public school work. Written questions have to be in by 2 p.m. on October 20 — that's well before the bid deadline, so don't sit on your questions.
For an electrical contractor who wants recurring school-district work without bidding ten separate jobs, a term contract like this is exactly the kind of opportunity worth the estimating time. One contract, multiple districts, ongoing call-outs instead of a single project and done.
Specifications are posted on Longwood's bids page. Get your questions in by October 20, and have your bid and $100 security ready for the November 5, 11 a.m. deadline.
