SUNY's Construction Fund Seeks Roofers for Binghamton Buildings

The State University Construction Fund is seeking bids to replace the roofs on the Administration and Health Services buildings at SUNY Binghamton. Bids are due December 2, and they'll be opened at the Construction Fund's offices in Albany, not at the campus itself.

The solicitation carries number CR#2140408. The posting doesn't give a trade classification beyond the roofing scope or an estimated contract value, so a roofing contractor should pull the full bid package to get exact quantities and specs before pricing it.

Here's something worth knowing: the design firm, Bell & Spina Architects - Planners PC, was awarded a design contract valued at 1,737,000.00 for this exact project — replacing roofs at the West Gym, Administration, and Health Services buildings. That same firm also designed a separate roof replacement at Binghamton's Fine Arts and Anderson Center building, with a design contract valued at 1,610,000.00. That tells a contractor two things: SUNY Binghamton has been running roof replacement work across its campus for a while, and the design costs on these jobs run well into seven figures, which usually signals a construction scope sized to match.

If your shop does commercial roofing and has handled public higher-education work before, this is worth a look — SUCF runs these jobs on a formal state process, and a campus doing multiple roof replacements in sequence is a sign there may be more roofing work coming out of Binghamton down the road.

Get the bid documents from the State University Construction Fund and have your numbers ready well before December 2. Bids open in Albany, so plan your submission accordingly — don't assume you can drop it off at the Binghamton campus.
