Description
New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”), on behalf of the City of New York (the “City”), is issuing this Request For Proposals (“RFP”) to seek proposals from real estate developer(s) or operator(s) (each, a “Respondent”) to develop, launch, and operate one or more life sciences wet-laboratory incubator space(s) (each, an “Incubator”). Each Incubator will be a part of NYCEDC’s growing network of life sciences incubators and entrepreneurial centers and will accommodate the needs of City-based companies conducting early-stage research and development.
NYCEDC plans to select one or more operators on the basis of factors stated in the RFP, which include, but are not limited to: the Respondent’s experience and qualifications, the quality of the proposal, the commitment to the project and the City, the quality of the financial plan for the Incubator, and the proposed M/WBE (as defined below) participation goal.
It is the policy of NYCEDC to comply with all federal, state and City laws and regulations which prohibit unlawful discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status and other protected category and to take affirmative action in working with contracting parties to ensure certified Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (“M/WBEs”) share in the economic opportunities generated by NYCEDC’s projects and initiatives. Please refer to the Equal Employment and Affirmative Compliance for Non-Construction Contracts Addendum in the RFP.
This project has M/WBE participation goals, and Respondents will be required to submit an M/WBE Participation Proposal with their response.

NYCEDC established the Kick Start Loan programs for Minority, Women and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (M/W/DBE) interested in working on public construction projects. Kick Start Loans facilitates financing for short-term mobilization needs such as insurance, labor, supplies and equipment. Bidders/subcontractors are strongly encouraged to visit the NYCEDC website at www.nycedc.com/opportunitymwdbe to learn more about the program.
