Two small public jobs hit the New York State Contract Reporter this week, and both are light on the details contractors need before they price them.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey wants a three-year contract for inspection, maintenance, testing and repair of fire protection systems across the PATH system. The posting (RFI-002031) doesn't list a trade classification, value estimate, or specific stations — just a pointer to the full documents on the State Contract Reporter. Bids are due Oct. 6. Any fire-protection contractor working PATH stations already should pull the actual solicitation before that date; three years of recurring inspection and repair work is worth knowing the scope on, but there's nothing here yet to size the job.

The Town of Greenburgh wants bids to build a new deck and fence in the courtyard of the Greenburgh Public Library at 300 Tarrytown Road in Elmsford. That's the whole scope as posted (RFI-002031... correction, RFI-002311) — no trade code, no estimate, no plan-holder count. It's a small municipal job, the kind a local carpentry or fencing outfit chases without much competition, and bids are due the same day, Oct. 6.

Neither posting gives us the particulars — trade, estimate, bidder activity — that would let us tell a contractor anything beyond 'the bid exists and closes Monday.' We're not going to dress that up as more than it is. Pull both from the State Contract Reporter links below and read the actual bid documents if either is in your lane; we'll flag these again only if something concrete changes.

One more came through the feed worth a mention for contractors who also chase New Jersey school work: the NJ Schools Development Authority's design-build solicitation for a new University High School in Newark (RFI-001974), estimated $121.7 million to $128 million, proposals due Oct. 6. That's well outside this desk's small-projects lane and outside New York, but it's design-build — prime holds the contract, names its MEP and structural steel subs in the proposal — and every one of those subs needs NJSDA prequalification and DPMC classification locked in before pricing. If that's your market, don't wait on paperwork.
