The Town of Oyster Bay awarded Contract No. HRR26-304, its requirements contract for road restoration throughout the town, to Posillico Civil, Inc. of Farmingdale on Feb. 24, 2026. The weighted bid was $7,423,582.00. Resolution No. 143-2026 passed six to none, with one council member absent.

The Division of Purchasing received seven bids on Jan. 21, 2026. The Department of Public Works' bid analysis lists them in order: Posillico Civil, Inc., $7,423,582; Metro Paving, LLC, $7,903,852 (corrected); Suffolk Paving Corp., $8,406,427; H&L Contracting, LLC, $9,137,412; Rosemar Contracting, Inc., $9,495,902; Pratt Bros. Inc., about $9.76 million (one digit is illegible on the town's scanned copy); and Stasi General Contracting, LLC, $10,144,552. The department noted Metro Paving's arithmetic error did not change the ranking.

Posillico beat the corrected second bid by $480,270, a 6.5% gap. From low to high the spread is 36.7%, and the median bid was H&L's $9,137,412. The town published no engineer's estimate. The analysis says all bids followed similar pricing patterns and that Posillico's pricing for the major items was competitive. The board listing is RFI-002619.

Read the number correctly. $7.42 million is a total weighted amount, unit prices times the town's estimated quantities, used to rank bidders. It is not what the town will spend. The resolution sets the annual budget at not more than $5,000,000 and runs the contract one year from award, with two optional one-year extensions at the same terms.

Posillico is the incumbent. The Commissioner of Public Works' memo says the firm has held the current contract for the last three years and performed to the department's satisfaction, and the town's Inspector General cleared its disclosure questionnaire before the vote.

Why this matters. A requirements contract is steady, call-out work: the town issues the work as it needs it, at the bid unit prices, all year. For the prime, the ranking comes down to unit prices on the heavy items. For subs and suppliers, it means a year or more of predictable asphalt, concrete and restoration tickets from one buyer.

What to do next. Asphalt plants, trucking, saw-cutting, curb and sidewalk, and traffic-control subs should talk to Posillico about the town work. Firms that finished behind it should keep an eye on the extension decisions; the town can extend this contract up to twice before it has to bid it again.
