Half Hollow Hills CSD
Oil Tank Replacements
Bid set BBS 25-263/264 · 653 pages · run 2026-05-19. Below is the actual BidLedger pipeline run output — what we found, what we rejected, what shipped in the brief.
Four schools, two bid packages, 653 pages of drawings, specs, and addenda.
Half Hollow Hills Central School District put out a pair of linked oil tank replacement bids (BBS 25-263/264) covering tank removal at Fran Greenspan Elementary, filter-store-transfer at the bus depot, a tank swap at HS West, and a potential add-alternate relocation within the district. The bid set runs 653 pages — drawings, project manual, prevailing-wage schedules, addenda, bid forms.
BidLedger ran the full pipeline against this set on 2026-05-19. Total wall-clock time: 14 seconds. The deliverables — a 12-page printable risk brief, a 5-sheet priced material takeoff totaling $1.42M, and a structured JSON sidecar — are the same artifacts a paying estimator would receive.
The pipeline does six things, in order: ingest and SHA-256-fingerprint every PDF; run deterministic probes for code references, deadlines, and CSI sections; do a multimodal pass on every drawing sheet; verify every AI finding word-for-word against its cited page; aggregate verified findings into the brief; and emit a priced material takeoff. The verifier is the moat — it's why this bid produced 87 defensible findings instead of 3,315 unranked plausible-sounding ones.
Four findings out of 87 shipped — ranked by cost impact.
Every quote below is verbatim from the source PDFs. The citation pinpoints sheet and page. Each finding shipped with a confidence score (1.0 deterministic, 0.9 verbatim, 0.7 whitespace-normalized) so a CTO can audit how the claim was matched.
Addendum #1 modifies bid date — submitting on bid-form date = rejected
BID-KILLER"the addendum date controls; if you submit on the bid-form date your bid will be rejected as late."
Suffolk County DOH witness required at sampling, closure, and pre-backfill
+$8,400 risk"install tank and register per Title 6 NYCRR Parts 612, 613, and 614 and as per approval, inspections and labeling requirements of Suffolk County Department of Health Services."
Mandatory shoring for all excavation — building & utility proximity
+$14,800 risk"contractor will be required to provide shoring for all excavation work due to the tanks proximity to the building and underground utilities."
Hazardous-waste prevailing-wage premiums apply to operators & laborers
+$22,300 risk"+$3.50/hr Class A Operating Engineer hazardous waste surcharge; +$2.56/hr Asbestos/Lead/Hazmat Laborer premium; +15% Carpenter Core Drilling hazardous waste differential."
509 claims thrown out before the brief shipped.
The LLM proposed 3,315 atomic factual claims across this bid set. The deterministic verifier checked each one word-for-word against the cited page. 2,806 matched. 509 did not — and those were permanently removed from the brief and logged to findings-rejected.jsonl with the original claim, the cited page, the search snippet, and the failure mode.
Common rejection patterns on this bid: paraphrased dates that were off by one business day from the controlling addendum; mentions of equipment models not on the cited sheet; wage rates that round-tripped a decimal place during extraction; and one entire fabricated paragraph the LLM hallucinated about Title 5 secondary containment that simply isn't in the source. None reached the printable brief. All are inspectable. That's the difference between “an AI read your bid” and “a citation-verified analysis of your bid.”
A 12-page brief, a 5-sheet takeoff, a JSON sidecar.
