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 seeking qualified contractors for medium-sized general construction projects. This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to establish a Pre-Qualified List (PQL).
Being on this PQL means your firm is pre-approved by DDC, which can streamline the process for future project opportunities. This is a valuable step for contractors looking to work with the DDC on an ongoing basis.
Key dates and deadlines
Applications for this Pre-Qualified List are accepted on an ongoing basis. There is no single deadline for submission, as DDC continuously accepts applications.
Once an application is submitted, DDC will approve or deny it within ninety days from the date of submission. This continuous application process allows firms to apply at their convenience.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is ideal for general construction firms experienced with medium-sized projects. It suits contractors who want to establish a long-term relationship with the NYC Department of Design and Construction.
Firms with a strong track record in construction and the necessary credentials to meet DDC's qualification standards are encouraged to apply.

Alternatively, you can pick up a physical copy at The Department of Design and Construction, 1st floor, Contracts Office, 30-30 Thomson Avenue, L.I.C., NY 11101.
