Nassau County's Department of Public Works posted three separate highway contracts to the New York State Contract Reporter on the same day — two phases of priority road resurfacing and a standalone traffic signal requirements contract — all due December 8.
Priority Resurfacing of Various Roads, Phase 18 (CRN 2140410) and Phase 19 (CRN 2140425) are listed as separate ads rather than one combined posting, and a Traffic Signal Requirements Contract covering various locations (CRN 2140470) rounds out the trio, according to the NYSCR postings. None of the three listings names a specific road list or an engineer's estimate in the ad itself — that detail sits in the bid documents the county hasn't made public through this channel.
“One due date, three contracts — a paving crew working Nassau just got its whole December calendar handed to it at once.”
Splitting resurfacing into numbered phases is standard for a county running a rolling paving program rather than one big-bang contract — it lets Nassau let work out as budget and design catch up to each phase, and it means a firm that misses Phase 18 still has Phase 19 to chase on the same due date.
The traffic signal contract is a requirements contract, meaning it isn't tied to a fixed scope of locations — the county draws on it as signal work comes up over the contract term, which is typically how municipalities keep an electrical contractor on call rather than bidding each intersection separately.
Three live Nassau County DPW packages landing the same week, all due the same day, means a paving or signal contractor working that county now has one date to clear — December 8 — rather than three separate bid cycles to track.
