The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation posted a new General Construction solicitation on September 30 for a shower building addition at the NYS Park Police Training Academy, filed under CRN 2139331 with a bid due date of November 5.
The listing runs through the agency's Capital - Hudson Valley District and carries the standard General adType classification for building construction and rehabilitation work. No engineer's estimate, location detail, or plan-holder count is published yet in the ad itself — the posting gives scope by title only, so firms should pull the actual bid documents from the Contract Reporter before scoping labor and material.
“Two building-construction ads from the same agency in one morning — that's a calendar moving, not a coincidence.”
This is a small, single-building addition, not a campus-wide package, which puts it in reach of general contractors and site-utility subs who don't have the bonding capacity to chase NYS Parks' bigger jobs — like the Mills Norrie State Park roof replacement also posted today (CRN 2139089, due October 22) in the same Taconic Region family of solicitations.
Parks has now put out two separate building-construction ads in the same 24-hour window, one at Mills Norrie and one at the Training Academy — worth watching as a signal that the agency's Hudson Valley capital calendar is moving into its fall letting cycle.
There is no subcontracting or M/WBE goal listed in the ad text; that detail, along with a firm project location, should be confirmed against the full bid package on the NYS Contract Reporter before a bid decision.
Firms with Hudson Valley public-works experience have five weeks to pull the docs, attend any pre-bid walkthrough, and get a bid in — mark the November 5 due date and check nyscr.ny.gov for the full package and any addenda.
