Up in Dutchess County, Arlington Central School District wants bids by October 22 at 3 p.m. for the first phase of additions and alterations at LaGrange Middle School.
The job is split into four separate prime contracts — general, plumbing, mechanical and electrical — all for Phase 1A of the work at the school in Lagrangeville. It's being run under a project labor agreement, meaning the contracts come with pre-set labor terms and union conditions that bidders need to work into their numbers.
No dollar estimate is listed in the posting. Bid security — money put up to guarantee you'll honor your bid if you win — is required, and the pre-bid conference already happened on September 29.
Splitting the work into four prime contracts instead of one general contract means a plumbing, mechanical, or electrical shop can bid its own scope directly instead of working as a sub under a GC's markup. That's a real opportunity if your outfit does one of those trades and has the bonding capacity to carry a prime contract on a school job.
The bid documents are on the Biddy Projects plan room, and you'll need to register to download them. Bids are due 3 p.m. on October 22 — don't miss it since the pre-bid conference has already come and gone.
