2026 Road Improvement Program

The City of Auburn, New York is procuring construction services through the 2026 Road Improvement Program, a sealed-bid public works project encompassing roadway milling, paving, and associated work at multiple locations throughout the city. Deliverables include asphalt pavement rehabilitation, curb and sidewalk adjustments, drainage structure adjustments, traffic control, and related appurtenances as specified in the contract documents. Sealed bids must be submitted to the Engineering Department at Memorial City Hall, 24 South Street, Auburn, New York, by 11:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, with public bid opening and reading to follow immediately thereafter. Plans and specifications are available through the City of Auburn's website at www.auburnny.gov under Bid Opportunities. Key qualifications and requirements include submission of bid security as specified in the Information for Bidders section, compliance with prevailing wage rates for all workers, and for contracts valued at $250,000 or more, certification that every worker has completed an OSHA 10 safety training course prior to project work, with proof of completion required to be submitted with the first certified payroll. Bidders may not withdraw bids within 45 days after the actual opening date. The City of Auburn is exempt from New York State and local sales and compensating use taxes, which must not be included in the bid amount.

No specific set-asides or restrictions targeting disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses are mentioned in the available documentation. Previous recipients of identical or substantially similar contracts within the past five years include Northern Asphalt LLC and Paul F. Vitale Inc., which may indicate competitive landscape considerations for prospective bidders. The City of Auburn reserves the right to waive any informality or reject any or all bids submitted. The specific contract value or budget range is not disclosed in the advertisement materials provided, though the OSHA 10 certification requirement suggests the project is anticipated to equal or exceed $250,000 in value.
