How to bid on General Construction Small Projects for NYC Design and Construction
What NYC DDC is buying and why it matters
The New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is creating a pre-qualified list (PQL) of Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) general contractors. These contractors will perform general construction work on various capital projects. The estimated cost for these projects will range from $500,000 to less than $5,000,000. Being on this PQL means your firm is pre-approved for future small construction projects with the DDC.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline to respond to this Request for Information (RFI) is November 18, 2099, at 5:00 PM ET. At this time, the DDC will stop accepting submissions for inclusion on their pre-qualified list. It is important to submit all required information before this deadline to be considered for future project opportunities.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is specifically for general construction firms that are certified as Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) through the City Department of Small Business Services (SBS). Firms should be capable of handling construction projects with budgets between $500,000 and $5 million. This is ideal for M/WBE general contractors looking to secure ongoing work with New York City.
