The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is soliciting competitive bids for two distinct infrastructure construction projects located in Monroe County and surrounding regions. The primary projects include a bridge replacement on Route NY-33A over the Erie Canal in the Town of Gates and Rochester City, and culvert replacements at various locations in Steuben and Yates Counties. Electronic bid documents will be available starting August 27, 2025, with sealed bids being received until 10:30 A.M. on October 9, 2025, at the NYSDOT Office of Contract Management in Albany. Bidders can submit proposals electronically via www.bidx.com or in physical form, with each bid requiring a bid bond, certified check, or bank cashier's check payable to NYSDOT. The bid deposit is approximately $750,000.00 for each project, and all bidders must ensure they incorporate any amendments into their proposals. Technical questions must be submitted through the Construction Contracting section of the NYSDOT Business Center website.
The procurement includes specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goals of 5.00% for both projects, indicating a commitment to supporting minority and small business participation. Contractors must adhere to NYS Finance Law restrictions on communication, with contact limited to designated NYSDOT personnel to prevent potential disqualification. The projects will require detailed documentation, including electronic bonds for online submissions and compliance with NYSDOT form CONR 391. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the bid deposit amounts suggest substantial project scopes with estimated values around $15 million. Interested contractors must carefully review all project documentation, subscribe to amendment notifications through the NYSDOT website, and ensure full compliance with technical specifications, DBE requirements, and submission guidelines to be considered for contract award.
