Annual Road Work FY27

The Town of Nantucket, located 30 miles off the south coast of Cape Cod, is issuing an annual road work solicitation for fiscal year 2027 under solicitation number 2026-DPW-0725, posted on July 31, 2026, with a response deadline of August 21, 2026. Operated by the Department of Public Works, this solicitation seeks contractors to perform essential road maintenance and infrastructure work across the island’s varied road systems, including urban, suburban, and rural routes that serve the town’s year-round population of approximately 18,000 and up to 65,000 seasonal residents. The work will support the town’s transportation network, which includes a busy airport, a thriving seaport, and a locally maintained road infrastructure critical to the community’s daily life and economy. The solicitation is managed by the Town’s Department of Public Works, with Drew Patnode, Director, as the primary point of contact and Cindy Hsu, Deputy Procurement Officer, as the secondary contact. Proposals must be submitted through the town’s online procurement portal, and all work will be performed within the boundaries of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The town, incorporated since 1671, operates as a self-governing municipality under a Town Manager/Select Board structure and maintains multiple public services including wastewater treatment, solid waste facilities, and housing programs, making efficient road maintenance a vital component of its broader municipal responsibilities. The island’s unique geography, consisting of 14 miles in length and 3.5 miles in width with extensive undeveloped areas including state forest land, demands tailored infrastructure solutions that account for environmental and logistical challenges.
