How to bid on General Construction Medium Projects for NYC Design and Construction
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is creating a pre-qualified list (PQL) of general contractors. These contractors will perform general construction work on various capital projects. The estimated cost for these projects will range from $5 million to less than $15 million.
This is an opportunity for general contractors to get on a list that the DDC will use for future medium-sized construction projects. Being on this list can streamline the process for bidding on specific projects later.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for this Request for Information (RFI) is December 31, 2040, at 5:00 PM ET. By this date, interested vendors should have submitted their responses.
This RFI is for establishing a pre-qualified list, not for a specific project award. Responding by the deadline ensures your firm is considered for inclusion on the DDC's PQL for these types of projects.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for general construction firms with experience handling projects in the $5 million to $15 million range. Firms should be prepared to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment required for general construction work.
It is categorized under construction, specifically targeting general contractors. Firms with a track record in capital construction projects in New York City would be well-suited.
