If you run a certified MWBE (minority- or woman-owned business) or SDVOB (service-disabled veteran-owned business) shop, D.A. Collins Construction Co., Inc. wants to hear from you. The prime contractor posted an outreach ad for subcontractors and suppliers on a package of bridge rehabilitation work, and quotes are due to D.A. Collins by November 18.

The job covers three separate bridge rehabs: Route 9W over I-87, Glenmont Road over I-87, and Mariaville Road over I-90. The posting lists the work at "Various Locations" and carries solicitation number CR#2140452 — that's the New York State Contract Reporter's tracking number, not a City Record number, so keep that straight when you search for the listing yourself.

The facts don't spell out which trades are wanted or give a dollar value for the subcontracting opportunity. What's clear is that this is MWBE/SDVOB outreach, meaning D.A. Collins is working to meet participation goals tied to this contract and is actively looking for certified firms to quote pieces of the work.

This is one prime chasing three bridge rehabs at once, which usually means a real spread of trade packages — concrete, steel repair, traffic control, painting, whatever each structure needs. If you're certified and do highway or bridge work, this is a chance to get in front of a prime that's actively building its sub list right now, not digging through a general bid board hoping someone calls.

Don't wait on this one. Reach out to D.A. Collins Construction Co., Inc. before November 18 to get your number in front of them, and have your MWBE or SDVOB certification ready to show — that's likely the first thing they'll ask for.
