Notice Details

In accordance with section 3-04 (b)(2)(i)(C) of the Procurement Policy Board Rules, the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) is requesting approval to procure, using the Negotiated Acquisition method, Cornerstone Community Center services for Cary Gardens development in Brooklyn, with NIA Community Services Network as the primary service provider. This action will ensure there is no gap in the operation of these critical services, in advance of an RFP. 

Community Centers are designed to provide holistic services that respond to the diverse needs of the community and serve as a gateway through which participants of all ages (Grades K – 12 and Adults 22+) can engage in activities and access comprehensive services. Cornerstone programs provide holistic services that respond to the needs of residents, build on community assets, and serve as gateways through which participants of all ages can engage in activities and access multiple services. The extension to cover this service will be for 2 years to align with the current portfolio and allow time for DYCD to competitively procure the site in the future.
