Loft Road Bridge Replacement

The State of New York, through Orleans County, is procuring a bridge replacement contractor for the Loft Road Bridge Replacement project located over Schenevus Creek in the Town of Maryland, New York. This capital infrastructure project encompasses the complete replacement of the existing bridge while maintaining it as a temporary detour during active construction phases. The scope of work includes the construction of staging walls, coordination with railroad operations, installation of retaining walls, construction of a dry hydrant, and performance of associated highway improvements. Contractor access will be provided via Interstate 88 due to physical constraints at the Loft Road entrance, requiring bidders to demonstrate understanding of and capability to manage this access limitation. The procurement was posted on May 20, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of June 24, 2026. While specific evaluation criteria have not been detailed in the available documentation, qualified contractors should possess demonstrated experience in bridge replacement, site management under constrained conditions, railroad coordination capabilities, and familiarity with New York state infrastructure standards.

This procurement contains no set-aside designations or preferences for minority-owned business enterprises (MBE), women-owned business enterprises (WBE), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB), or Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), as all contracting goals have been established at 0.00%. No incumbent vendors or current contractors have been identified, as no identical or substantially similar procurement contracts have been awarded within the past five years, indicating this represents a new project opportunity with no incumbent contractor restrictions. The specific award value or budget range for this capital project has not been disclosed in the available solicitation materials, though bridge replacement projects of this scope typically represent significant infrastructure investments. Interested contractors should contact the State of New York or Orleans County for additional procurement documents, detailed specifications, and any cost estimates that may inform their bidding decisions.
