NYCEDC plans to prequalify firms on the basis of factors stated in the RFQ which include but are not limited to: General Qualifications, Project Understanding and Approach, Technical Qualifications, Project Guarantor Capabilities and Project Team Financial Qualifications, and M/WBE Participation Approach.
