CUNY's Baruch College South Campus Boilers and Asbestos Abatement job appears three separate times on the NY State Contract Reporter this week, all pointing at the same scope — boiler replacement work paired with asbestos abatement — at the campus near Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. One listing names the address as 55 Lexington Ave (RFI-003211), another as 137 East 22nd Street (RFI-003214) — both likely referring to the same South Campus footprint — and a third runs as a standalone MWBE/SDVOB outreach posting with no address at all (RFI-003158). All three close November 2 or 3.
Two of the three are explicitly subcontracting opportunities — a prime contractor is out soliciting HVAC and environmental/abatement subs to round out its bid team before the deadline. That's worth flagging for a mechanical or abatement sub who hasn't been watching CUNY capital work: this is the moment to call in, not after the prime has already locked its numbers.
Pair that with Cornell's roofing job at MVR Hall, the HEC Building, and Ives Hall (RFI-003238, due November 3) and the DASNY-run gym and locker room renovation at CUNY Queensborough's RFK Hall (RFI-003346, also an MWBE/SDVOB outreach posting, also due November 3) and you've got a cluster of campus work all closing the same week — three different CUNY-adjacent or university owners, three different trades, one tight calendar. A sub chasing higher-ed work in the city this fall has three live doors to knock on before Monday.
