In connection with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and its City counterpart, CEQR, which requires State and local agencies to assess potential significant adverse environmental impacts of discretionary actions before undertaking, funding, or approving such actions, DHS is required to complete an Environmental Assessment Survey (EAS) which assesses the environmental impact of the new facilities. In addition, in connection with the Turning the Tide initiative to open 90 shelter facilities, the new initiative The Journey Home for an additional 1,000 Safe Haven beds, and the initiative for stabilization beds as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the contractor would play a crucial role in ensuring that the aforementioned initiatives are put in effect in environments that are up to standards. DHS will contract for the performance of expert professional on-call architectural and engineering design services for pipeline capacity citywide for Three (3) years, covering FY23 – FY25 as it relates to the preparation of CEQR Environmental Assessment Statements (EAS) in connection with the opening of various shelter facilities and On-Call Architectural and Engineering design services.
