Heads up if you're in Westchester doing sitework: Irvington Union Free School District is re-bidding capital sitework improvements at two of its buildings, Irvington Middle School and Dows Lane Elementary, with bids due October 13 at 11 a.m.
This is a re-bid, meaning the district went out before and is trying again, with separate sealed-bid contracts for each school. Dows Lane Elementary is at 6 Dows Lane in Irvington; that's also where bids get opened and read aloud at the district's Business Administration Office. No phone, fax, or email bids -- they want paper in hand.
Each bid needs a 10% bid security, and once opened, bids are held for 45 days before the district has to act. The contract goes to the lowest responsible bidder, standard language meaning the lowest price from a bidder the district judges capable of doing the work. A digital set of the contract documents runs $100 through the architect's online plan room, and the non-mandatory walk-through already happened September 30.
No contract value or M/WBE goals are listed on the posting itself, so check the actual bid documents for that.
If this is in your wheelhouse, get the $100 document set now since you missed the walk-through already, and have your bid security and sealed bid ready to drop off by 11 a.m. on October 13.
