How to bid on Small Building Projects - General Construction for NYC Parks and Recreation
What NYC Parks is buying and why it matters
The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) is creating a pre-qualified list of general contractors. These contractors will perform general construction work for small building reconstruction projects at various Parks properties. Individual projects will have an estimated construction cost not exceeding $3,000,000.
Being on this pre-qualified list means your business could be considered for future small building projects with NYC Parks without needing to go through a full bid process for each individual project. This can streamline the process for both the agency and the contractors.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline to apply for this pre-qualified list is April 20, 2027, at 5:00 PM ET. All applications must be submitted by this time.
After the deadline, NYC Parks will review the submissions to determine which general contractors meet the qualifications to be included on their pre-qualified list for small building projects.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for general construction firms with experience in small building reconstruction projects. Businesses that can provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment for such work are encouraged to apply.
This is a good fit for contractors looking to work with a city agency on projects up to $3 million, specifically within the construction category.
