Bidding Info
M.A. Bongiovanni was founded in 1930 by  Michael A. Bongiovanni, (1898-1980) and was operated as an individual proprietorship until 1954, when the present name was adopted and incorporation was made within the laws of New York State. The primary line of business at inception was underground water and sewer pipelines. In 1949, Michaels' son Joseph J. Bongiovanni Sr. graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology  and joined the firm. He served as Vice President and then President from 1954 to 1992, and then Chairman of the Board from 1992 until his death in 1998. The current officers are Michael A. Bongiovanni, President, and Joseph J. Bongiovanni Jr., Vice President. Both are grandsons of the founder.

 

Since 1949, construction activity and interest  expanded into the heavy civil projects such as water and wastewater treatment facilities and pumping stations, intercepting gravity sewers, force mains, large diameter watermains, prime contracts for installation of process piping and equipment at treatment plants, pile foundations, sewer repairs, steel sheet piling, flood control, bridges and bridge jackings, and other varied heavy construction. Generally, the company self-performs all excavation, underground piping, concrete, miscellaneous metals, and process equipment and piping with it's own personnel. Subcontracting is limited to architectural and specialty trades such as masonry, roofing, painting, etc.

 

In 1979, the firm expanded outside the New York State market, and since that time, has  been performing water and wastewater treatment plant and pumping station construction in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware.

 

Administrative and management activity for all the work is conducted at the Syracuse corporate office and includes project management, engineering, estimating, scheduling, purchasing, accounting, payroll, cost control and equipment maintenance. Close and continued contact is maintained with project sites to insure that they receive the direction and support required for the proper, timely and efficient performance of the work. Project sites are manned with a competent superintendent responsible for complete direction of construction operations and personnel. Additional field staff is provided as necessary.

 

The firm maintains active membership in the Associated Builders & Contractors, Inc. (ABC) and the Associated General Contractors thru the General Building Contractors of New York State, Inc. (GBC).
