NYCHA anticipates that it will shortlist up to eight (8) teams under the Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) to participate in the upcoming Request for Proposals (“RFP”) phase of this procurement.
As North America’s largest public housing authority, NYCHA owns and operates 172,447 housing apartments in 2,400 buildings across 311 developments throughout New York City’s five boroughs. NYCHA’s ten-year capital budget is anticipated to exceed $850 million for heating work at several hundred buildings.
Respondents will be required to meet minimum qualifications and identify other qualifications, heating project design and construction experience, technical capabilities, firm capacities, financial information, surety capabilities, past self-performance experience, and other information for RFQ Response evaluation.
RFQ Respondents will also be required to identify and provide similar qualifications, experience, capabilities, capacities and other information for RFQ Response evaluation for their proposed Respondent Team Members, if any.
The successful Respondent for the Design-Build Contract for a particular Project will be selected through a two-step method, as follows:
(1) Step one: NYCHA will generate a list of responding entities that have demonstrated meeting the minimum qualifications to perform the design-build contracts for the Projects. Such list shall be generated based upon the NYCHA’s review of responses to the publicly advertised RFQ. NYCHA shall evaluate and rate all responding entities to the RFQ. Based upon such ratings, NYCHA shall list the responding entities that will be shortlisted to receive a RFP.
(2) Step two: Selection of the proposal under the RFP for each relevant Project which is the best value to the NYCHA.
Any future Design-Build Contracts awarded under the RFP will require the Respondent to enter a Project Labor Agreement (“PLA”). Other contract requirements will require taking affirmative steps to include U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Section 3 Hiring and Minority, Women and Small Business Enterprises (“M/W/SBE”).
