Description
NYCEDC is pleased to present a rare opportunity to potentially deliver a multimillion-square-foot corporate headquarters for one of the world’s leading technology companies to New York City. Amazon has released a request for proposals to determine the location for its second corporate headquarters. NYCEDC, on behalf of the City of New York and in collaboration with the State, through the Empire State Development Corporation, intends to submit a response to Amazon’s request for proposals. To that end, NYCEDC is releasing this Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) to solicit ideas and information regarding space, programs, and other assets that could be included in the City’s proposal and ultimately bring Amazon to New York City.
NYCEDC seeks Expressions of Interest to help the City’s proposal to meet the criteria outlined in Amazon’s request for proposals. Respondents to the RFEI should suggest building(s) and/or site(s) over which they have site control and demonstrate how they meet or exceed Amazon’s criteria. NYCEDC also invites respondents to propose concepts that make use of publicly-controlled sites. Respondents are encouraged to consider partnerships with property owners, institutions, or other stakeholders to the extent a joint proposal best meets the needs of the RFEI and Amazon’s request for proposals.
This RFEI is not intended as a formal offering for the acquisition, disposition or lease of any site(s). NYCEDC may elect to release a targeted request for proposals to selected respondents of this RFEI and, potentially, other parties at a later time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NYCEDC reserves the right to select a respondent or respondents on the basis of responses to this RFEI without any further process. Therefore, NYCEDC strongly encourages all interested parties to submit proposals in response to this RFEI. If NYCEDC selects a respondent or respondents from this RFEI, it will be on the basis of factors stated in the RFEI which include, but are not limited to: i) responsiveness of the Respondent’s expression of interest to the criteria identified in the Amazon RFP; (ii) completeness and quality of the overall response; and (iii) the qualifications, experience, readiness and financial capacity of the Respondent.
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 (MWBEs) share in the economic opportunities generated by NYCEDC’s projects and initiatives.
Respondents may submit questions and/or request clarifications until 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 19, 2017. Questions regarding the subject matter of this RFP should be directed to AMAZONRFEI@edc.nyc. Answers, if any, will be posted on a rolling basis at http://www.nycedc.com/RFP up to 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 20, 2017. Please submit ten (10) hard copies of your expression of interest and one electronic version.
