Watkins Glen SP Sentry Bridge Replacement

The Watkins Glen State Park Sentry Bridge Replacement project involves comprehensive construction activities, including preparing access roads for equipment and crane operations, installing temporary shoring to support the existing bridge during demolition, and removing the current electrical lighting conduits and fixtures mounted on the tunnel wall. The scope further encompasses the removal of the existing bridge structure and abutments, followed by cleaning, inspecting, and preparing the bearing locations for the new structures. The installation of a new steel bridge structure according to detailed drawings and the reinstallation of electrical lighting systems are also key components of the project. The contract is set for a duration of 670 days, with a bid deadline of November 20, 2024, and the bid opening scheduled for the same day at 3:00 p.m. via Webex. This project is managed by the NYS Office of Parks Recreation & Historic Preservation and is located within Schuyler County, New York. The contract value is estimated between one million and five million dollars. The procurement encourages participation from minority and women-owned businesses, with subcontracting goals of 8% and 22%, respectively, and a 6% goal for service-disabled veteran-owned business contracting. Bidders interested in obtaining bid documents should contact Lynda Shute via email. Notably, no entities have been awarded a similar contract within the past five years, and the project is not set aside specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.
