This week's small-job stack isn't cranes and curtain wall — it's a roof, a library buildout, some elevator cars, and a paint job on a house older than the country. That's exactly where a lot of you actually make your money, so let's run the list.

First up, and due tomorrow: the Connetquot Public Library in Bohemia (RFI-001712) wants one general-construction contract for interior renovations — five study rooms, a new passport office, three meeting rooms, and expanded restrooms. Prevailing wage applies, and the job's expected to start in November. The pre-bid already happened on August 27, so if you didn't walk it, you're bidding off the plan set alone through BBS Architects' plan room. That's tight, but not impossible for a shop that already knows the building type.

Same due date, different trade: the Town of Mamaroneck wants its Senior Center roof in Larchmont (RFI-001397) torn off and replaced — new membrane, cover boards, Azek fascia, gutters, flashing at every penetration — with a hard completion date of November 20. Do the math: that's roughly 11 weeks from award to done. If your crew's booked solid through fall, don't chase this one just to chase it.

Now the pattern worth watching: CUNY split its vertical transportation maintenance and repair contract into two geographic packages, both due Friday, September 8. One covers the North and Midtown HUBs (RFI-000246), the other covers East and South (RFI-000245). Splitting a citywide elevator contract into hub-sized bites means a shop that can't service every CUNY campus can still take a swing at one corner of it — that's the whole point of the split, and it's worth remembering next time CUNY posts a maintenance contract this size.

CUNY's also got a subcontracting opportunity the same week at the Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy on West 125th Street (RFI-001461) — new workstations, a storefront glazing upgrade, IT and HVAC work, flagged for MWBE and SDVOB outreach. If you're a certified sub looking for CUNY work, that's your in.

Last one, also due Friday: Scarsdale wants exterior restoration and painting on Wayside Cottage (RFI-001716), a landmark dating back to the 1720s. Hand-scraping, spot priming, limited wood repair, and repainting of siding, trim, fascia, soffits, doors, and shutters — 60 calendar days, with the Village watching every move near the landscaping and historic features. This is a painting-and-carpentry crew's job, not a GC's, and it's the kind of niche, historic-preservation work that never shows up on anyone's radar until it's already awarded.

None of these six will make anyone's highlight reel. But two close tomorrow and four close Friday — so if any of this is in your lane, stop reading and go pull the docs.
