The Designated Contacts for this solicitation are Dan DeLilla and Peter Fountis, CUNY.Builds@cuny.edu.
The City University Construction Fund (CUCF) on behalf of the City University of New York (CUNY) Office for Facilities Planning, Construction and Management (FPCM), is seeking to enter into Requirements Contracts to provide plumbing and fire protection construction services at CUNY facilities on an “as needed” basis. As the need for plumbing & fire protection projects arises, CUCF expects to solicit bids for these projects from those firms awarded Master Requirements Contracts (MRC) under this solicitation through the task order request process described in this solicitation.
THIS RFQ IS NOT FOR A SPECIFIC JOB OR PROJECT, BUT IT IS A SOLICITATION FOR REQUIREMENTS CONTRACTS WITH CUCF FOR FUTURE WORK ON AN AS NEEED BASIS.
THIS RFQ IS OPEN TO ALL CONSTRUCTION FIRMS THAT HAVE PLUMBING & FIRE PROTECTION CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE, NOT JUST MASTER PLUMBERS.
A copy of the solicitation that more fully describes the procurement process, minimum qualification requirements, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, timeline and contact information is available for downloading at www.cuny.edu/cunybuilds, under Current and Upcoming Procurements. Firms selected through this solicitation will execute a Master Requirements Contract (MRC) with CUCF on behalf of CUNY/FPCM based on the conditions of this RFQ. A three (3) year contract term is anticipated, subject to all required internal and external oversight approvals. It is further anticipated that each MRC awarded would have a not-to-exceed amount of $30 million for all assigned services. Subsequent to award of a MRC and as the need arises, firms may be further considered for project specific task order assignments as set forth in Section VI of the RFQ.
