Six small municipal jobs across the metro close today and Monday, and the thread running through half of them is the re-bid — work that already went out once and is back on the street because a package fell through or a number came in wrong.

Start in Freeport, where the Village is re-bidding two trade packages on the Police Department Extension at 46 North Ocean Avenue: electrical (RFI-001690) and HVAC (RFI-001691). Both due today, both filed as multi-prime under Wicks Law — New York's rule that public jobs above a size threshold outside NYC have to be split into separate prime contracts for general construction, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing instead of bid as one lump to a single GC. The GC and plumbing scopes may already be locked from the original round, which means these two trades are effectively bidding into a job that's already under construction elsewhere on site. Worth a call to the village clerk before you price it, so your schedule assumptions match what's actually built. Bid documents: electrical at freeportny.gov/bids.aspx?bidID=835, HVAC at freeportny.gov/bids.aspx?bidID=836.

Yonkers has its own re-bid: the Nepperhan Pedestrian Bridge repair, IFB-7670, pushed from August 21 to September 11 (RFI-000072). This one's a small but genuinely multi-trade job — concrete, masonry, metals, thermal and moisture protection, electrical, and electronic safety and security all show up in the CSI breakdown for a single pedestrian bridge span. The catch: the mandatory pre-bid has already happened. If your firm didn't send someone, you're locked out no matter how good your number is. Everything runs through BidNet Direct's Empire State Purchasing Group, and you'll need an account to pull the documents. Bids close 2:00 p.m. today.

Southampton's Agawam Park fountain renovation (RFI-000082) is a general-construction job with no published value, out of the village clerk's office through the NYS Contract Reporter. It's small enough that it won't draw a big field, which is exactly the kind of job worth a look if you're a Suffolk-based shop tired of bidding against fifteen other firms for every job that crosses your desk. Same due date, same portal as the Yonkers bid: today, NYSCR.

On Long Island, two church restoration packages from the Town of Brookhaven close together: window and facade work at First Congregational Church in Lake Grove (RFI-001669, Bid #26038) and at Brookfield Presbyterian Church in Manorville (RFI-001670, Bid #26039). Same trade, same municipality, same due date — if you're pricing one, the takeoff work transfers almost directly to the other, and a firm that can mobilize for both picks up real efficiency on crew and material ordering that a single-job bidder can't touch.

One more to flag for Sept. 14: Tully Construction is buying subs and suppliers for the rehabilitation of eight bridges in Brooklyn for NYC DOT, contract HBCR22A (RFI-001984). The prime is specifically after New York State and City certified MBE firms for concrete pavement grinding, rebar installation and supply, masonry, structural steel, waterproofing, painting, epoxy overlay and pavement markings — and Tully says it won't require bonds from qualified subs, which is the single biggest thing keeping a small shop out of a job like this. Quotes go in ahead of the September 14 bid; plans and specs are available on request through the listing at dbegoodfaith.com.

None of these jobs will make anyone's top-ten list for the week. That's the point of this desk — a re-bid electrical package in Freeport or a two-church facade job in Brookhaven is exactly the size where a mid-size shop can actually win, staff it without stretching, and get paid on time. Check your pre-bid attendance requirements before you price anything here; two of these six already have a hard gate that'll cost you the job before you ever submit a number.
