CORRECTION, September 14, 2026: This roundup said DCAS's courthouse accessibility job at 360 Adams Street in Brooklyn (EPIN 85624B0007) carried a 30 percent M/WBE goal. None of the solicitation documents DCAS has posted publicly for this job states an M/WBE goal percentage, and we could not confirm that figure. It has been removed.
Update, Sept. 14, 2026: DCAS Addendum 5, dated Sept. 1, moved the 360 Adams Street bid from Sept. 16 to Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.
The desk cleared its packet pile this weekend — thirty-four jobs read, verified against their issuing agencies, and sorted. Twenty-nine are still open. Here is the calendar, urgent first.
CLOSING THIS WEEK. Town of Bedford's Buxton Road culvert replacement closes Tuesday, September 1 at 2 p.m. — precast deck on new concrete abutments, with an addendum that dropped only days before the opening, so check for it before sealing. The state's emergency power improvements at the Farmingdale Training Site — an OGS electrical contract estimated at $3 million to $4 million, four addenda deep after a five-week slide — closes September 2. NYCHA's 70-elevator Marcy Houses package closes September 3 (covered separately today). Mamaroneck's Senior Center shingle roof, with a hard November 20 finish date, closes September 4.
THE SEPTEMBER 8-9 CLUSTER. Scarsdale takes bids September 8 to hand-restore and repaint the historic Wayside Cottage — a craft job, not a volume job. September 9 is the crowded morning: Peekskill's two garage rehabilitations (covered separately), Dobbs Ferry's four-street mill-and-pave with a 45-day clock, Pleasantville's pavement-program rebid whose winner gets a 60-day October-November window at $1,000 a day in damages, Greenburgh's 70-day police-headquarters mechanical job (confirm the scope in the documents — the listing and the ad describe it differently), the Brookhaven Fire District's second rebid of its office-and-garage conversion (paper documents only, $275 fee — light competition practically engineered), and Cold Spring Harbor State Park's parking lot rehabilitation, already on our board.
MID-MONTH. Plainedge's $16.9 million ground-up library bids September 10 (covered separately). Yonkers' Nepperhan Avenue pedestrian bridge repairs — a genuinely multi-trade little structure with electrical and security divisions — moved three weeks by addendum to September 11. Hempstead Lake State Park's Eagle Avenue overpass deck repairs, all night work, takes quotes through September 14, and its walk-through is September 1 at 10 a.m. — a reader seeing this today can still make it. Suffolk County opens Yaphank correctional renovation bids September 15 and Riverhead County Center's transformer-replacement electrical prime September 22, the latter under a project labor agreement with a 12 percent MBE goal and a field still open. Westchester's SUNY WCC Physical Education Building roof — phase six of a county roof program that keeps paying roofers — bids September 16, same morning as the county's $11.5-to-$12.5 million sludge-thickener rehabilitation (covered separately; that field is locked) and DCAS's courthouse ADA overhaul at 360 Adams Street, four addenda in.
STATE LETTINGS AND LOCKED FIELDS. NYSDOT's September 17 letting carries two Long Island contracts: bridge painting and steel repairs on the Robert Moses Causeway running to mid-2029, and a roughly $4 million drainage cleaning-and-replacement contract across Nassau and Suffolk carrying a zero percent DBE goal — the state's own signal that small sitework and drainage outfits can bid this one direct. The Route 111/27A resurfacing letting follows October 1, and this desk holds all six volumes of its plans. Already locked to attendees: the Brookhaven National Laboratory civil-services ordering agreement (September 14, RSVP window closed August 31), Patchogue-Medford Library's three-prime generator job (September 9), Woodhull Hospital's therapeutic-housing main package (September 30), and the SCA's $10 million-plus PS 171 electrification in Astoria (September 16, mentor-limited with a June pre-bid). Ramapo's Town Hall ADA walkway, September 29, closes out the calendar. One caution flag: DDC's Southern Boulevard bike-and-pedestrian job shows a fourth postponement to September 16 — confirm its live status in PASSPort before ordering documents.
AND THE SCOREBOARD. Five packets arrived too late: Westchester's Norwood Jackson garage rebid, Briarcliff Manor's paving program and New Rochelle's transit-garage solar canopy all closed August 26, and both Creedmoor transitional-residence trade bids opened August 19 — where the state's unofficial results show the general-construction low inside the published $7-to-8 million range, and every plumbing bid above the top of its published range. When those awards post, they belong on the results board.
