Q1944CE: Replace Electrical Panels

The New York State Office of General Services Design & Construction Group is requesting sealed bids for electrical panel replacement at MacCormick Secure Center in Brooktondale, Tompkins County under two separate projects (Q1944-C and Q1944-E), with bids due November 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., and a mandatory pre-bid site visit on November 5 at 10:00 a.m. MWBE participation goals of 30% overall (15% MBE and 15% WBE) and SDVOB participation goals of 6% for each trade apply. A New York State-certified MWBE submitting a bid within 10% of the lowest bid will be deemed the apparent low bidder, provided the bid is $1,737,918 or less — a material price-preference signal.

Project Q1944-C covers electrical panel work with an estimated contract value between $100,000 and $250,000 and bid security of $17,600. Project Q1944-E covers electrical panel work with an estimated contract value between $2 million and $3 million and bid security of $80,400. Substantial completion is 553 days after Comptroller approval. All successful bidders must furnish Performance Bonds and Labor and Material Bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount.

Prospective bidders must register for the pre-bid site visit at least 48 hours in advance with Lance Finnerty at (607) 481-8793 and present valid photo identification. All bids and questions must be submitted through the OGS Bid Express electronic bidding service at bidexpress.com.
