Two bids on the board close today. The Town of Poughkeepsie wants a contractor to replace the North Grand sanitary sewer pump station on North Grand Avenue, and the bid opens at 11 a.m. — RFI-002349, posted through the town's own bids page. If you haven't priced it yet, you're pricing it this morning or you're not pricing it.

Same deadline, different trade: the Town of Hempstead's annual requirements contract for plumbing supplies closes today too (RFI-001692). This one isn't construction — it's a supply contract, but it's the kind of steady-volume line item a plumbing supply house should have on its calendar every year, not just this one.

Tomorrow, September 16, is where the real volume sits. Orange County wants door repair and replacement services across its county facilities, and it's a two-day window from when this bid was posted to when it closes (RFI-002351, via the Empire State Purchasing Group portal) — a good one for a hardware and doors specialist who moves fast on smaller public contracts. Westchester County DPW is also closing tomorrow at 11 a.m. on Phase VI of its multi-year roof program: a full roof replacement of the Physical Education Building at SUNY Westchester Community College in Valhalla, covering Divisions 01, 02, and 07 — labor, materials, and equipment (RFI-001715). Five roof phases have apparently already run at this campus before this one; if you've bid the earlier phases, the county already knows your work.

Also due tomorrow: NYC DCAS wants an ADA renovation of the Kings County Supreme Court building at 360 Adams Street in Brooklyn (RFI-001723). This is a real multi-trade job dressed up as a small-scope courthouse fix — concrete, masonry, metals, wood and plastics, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, specialties, elevators, fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical all show up in the scope. It carries a 30% M/WBE goal and a Project Labor Agreement, and bids are due 10:00 a.m. The mandatory pre-bid meeting already happened back in June, so if you weren't in that Teams call, check the listing before you spend estimating hours on it.

The one with the most moving parts is the Merchant Marine Academy's Patten Hall renovation in Kings Point (RFI-001980), a federal small-business set-aside through SAM.gov. It's not small in complexity even if it's small in dollar signature: a historic building on the National Register, a 365-day firm-fixed-price job, $1,000-a-day liquidated damages, and bonds due within 10 days of award. The government pulled the closing date from September 14 to September 16 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern — two extra days — and amended the scope to strip out all roof work, which the academy now says was included by mistake. Three building drawings came with that amendment. Nine bidder questions are still open, covering things like backup generator sizing and who clears furniture and medical equipment before abatement starts, and those answers are due in Amendment 0002 — so don't finalize a number until that lands. Award goes on technical rating at a fair price, not lowest bid, which changes how you build your proposal.

NYCHA's citywide IDIQ for maintenance, service, and repair of emergency backup generators (RFI-002037) is the one worth circling if you're an electrical shop that wants steady call-out work rather than a single job. NYCHA already pushed this deadline once, from an earlier date to September 17 at 10:00 a.m., and it only accepts bids through its own vendor portal — no wandering in with a paper bid.

Put together, this week's small-scope board rewards contractors who move on short notice: two bids close before this piece is even a day old, three more close tomorrow, and the generator IDIQ is the extended deadline you don't want to miss twice. Check each portal directly — Town of Poughkeepsie's bids page, Hempstead's own site, bidnetdirect for Orange and Westchester counties, DCAS's PASSPort listing, SAM.gov for Patten Hall, and NYCHA's own vendor system — because none of these route through a single clearinghouse.
