Food and Beverage Co-Packing Facilities Consultant Services

July 31, 2015– The food and beverage manufacturing subsector is a bright spot of growth within New York City’s industrial sector, currently employing over 15,000 people. The subsector’s employment has increased by 11 percent during the last decade, with growth driven by entrepreneurship and small businesses. Over the last several years, the City has invested to support this entrepreneurial growth. To date, New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) has assisted the subsector with a network of culinary incubators, dedicated loan funds, and access to retail opportunities in public markets across New York City. Through this work, and research by New York City Councilmember Stephen Levin, NYCEDC has identified that a shortage of locally provided co-packing services often prevents food and beverage manufacturing firms from scaling in New York City. To better support the development of growth-stage food and beverage manufacturing businesses, NYCEDC is requesting responses from potential operators to fill this service gap for several food categories.

NYCEDC is seeking proposals for the development and operation of food and beverage co-packing facilities within New York City. Proposals are welcome from qualified Operators with manufacturing experience to develop a facility that will support the growth of businesses and jobs within the Food and Beverage Manufacturing subsector. To support the development of one or more food and beverage co-packing facilities, NYCEDC may provide funding to offset start-up costs, capital improvements and operations.

Body Cameras for the NYPD and Related Hardware and Data Storage Solution

August 7, 2015– The New York City Police Department (“NYPD”) is conducting a solicitation which seeks a comprehensive end to end solution for capturing, transmitting, and storing video and audio using body-worn cameras carried by patrol officers. The NYPD is soliciting applications from firms with demonstrated experience in designing and maintaining such a solution. The body-worn cameras must be lightweight and functional in all weather conditions. Firms must also provide a data storage solution (either cloud-based or employing on-site data storage) as well as all equipment necessary to operate the cameras (e.g. charging stations, data cables) and to upload captured video and audio data from the cameras for long-term storage (e.g. docking stations). If a vendor employs a cloud storage solution, it must meet the NYPD’s security requirements, as outlined in the Solicitation. The contract established as a result of this solicitation will serve as a Requirements Contract for the purchase of hardware, storage, licenses, and maintenance services on an as-needed basis. The anticipated term of the contract would be for five years from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020. There would also be three 3-year renewal options.

A contract award will be made by the Negotiated Acquisition source selection method, pursuant to City of New York Procurement Policy Board Rules (PPB Rules) § 3-04(b)(2) because the NYPD has determined that it is neither practical nor advantageous to award the proposed contract by competitive sealed bids or competitive sealed proposals, and that this source selection method is in the City’s best interest. First, there exists is a compelling need for the goods and services that cannot be timely met through competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals. Second, there are a limited number of vendors able to provide the required body cameras and the related equipment and services of the nature and specificity required by the NYPD. Thus, pursuant to Sections 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) and 3 04(b)(2)(ii) of the PPB Rules, a special case determination has been made that this solicitation should be done using the Negotiated Acquisition method of Source Selection. Any Vendors that wish to express an interest to be considered for this solicitation may download or request the complete solicitation document and submit completed application(s) if they feel that they can supply the required body cameras and related goods and services.
This Procurement is subject to Local Law 1, the City of New York’s M/WBE Program.

Teleport Site B-1

September 25, 2015– The New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (“the Port Authority”) are seeking proposals to develop a manufacturing use on all or part of an 18-acre site (“the Site”) located within Staten Island’s industrial “Working West Shore.” The successful response to this request for proposals (RFP) will be for a project that generates quality jobs in a dynamic industry; depending on the strength of the response, the City may be willing to consider certain forms of tax relief and other financial assistance to support the project’s development.

This RFP follows a broader Request for Expressions of Interest (“RFEI”) issued for the entire Teleport last year. Responses to that RFEI and subsequent diligence have informed the current understanding of which uses might be desirable and possible at the Site today.

Based upon that diligence, Modular Construction Assembly, Flood Defense System fabrication, and the manufacture of Green Energy systems (solar panels, wind turbines) were identified as uses that may be good fits for the Site, and as growth industries with strong potential in the region and on Staten Island’s West Shore. NYCEDC and the Port Authority will also consider other manufacturing uses not listed above; the foregoing merely represents examples of uses considered and explored in the preparation of this RFP.

NYCEDC plans to select a development team on the basis of factors stated in the open RFP which include, but are not limited to: the quality of the proposal, experience of key staff identified in the proposal, experience and quality of any subcontractors proposed, demonstrated successful experience in performing services similar to those encompassed in the open RFP.

If a proposal is selected, it will be on the basis of a thoughtful approach to both maximizing the development potential of the Site and managing it in a manner that acts as a catalyst to the economy of Staten Island as a whole. Responses to this RFP should aim to accomplish the following goals (“Development Goals”):

Identify a development plan for one or more manufacturing uses on the Site.
Preserve and expand quality jobs for local residents and help fulfill the area’s potential as a vital employment center.
Establish a site plan that addresses the infrastructure, access and utility needs for the proposed project and is not incompatible with the surrounding uses at The Teleport.
Propose an environmentally sensitive development that considers on-site and nearby ecological resources and neighboring communities.

This project has Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise (“M/WBE”) participation goals, and all respondents will be required to submit an M/WBE Sub- Contractors Participation Plan with their response.

City Seeks Partners to Create Affordable Housing Units at Ingersoll, Van Dyke & Mill Brook Developments for Seniors and Families

September 30, 2015– The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) today released the “Request for Proposal” (RFP) for potential developers to expand 100 percent affordable housing opportunities at three NYCHA developments, including Ingersoll (Fort Greene, Brooklyn), Van Dyke (Brownsville, Brooklyn) and Mill Brook (Mott Haven, the Bronx.) The plan to create affordable senior and family housing on underused NYCHA property was the outcome of an extensive and meaningful planning process with hundreds of residents and community advocates.

The proposal advances the goals of Mayor de Blasio’s Housing New York plan to build or preserve 200,000 affordable housing units over the next ten years. It also helps achieve NYCHA’s commitment to contribute 10,000 of those affordable units within the decade as part of NextGeneration NYCHA, the Authority’s 10-year strategic plan.

Through the RFP, the City has invited developers, including non-profit entities and M/WBE firms, to submit proposals for the design, financing, construction, and operations of 100 percent affordable new housing at Ingersoll, Van Dyke, and Mill Brook. For the purposes of this RFP, affordable is considered a senior or family household earning less than 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The proposed developments will be 100% affordable and seek to reach households at lower AMI levels.

NYCHA will retain rights to the land developed through a long-term ground lease, provide critical oversight to the project, require developers to train and hire NYCHA residents, and proactively engage residents on a regular basis as the project moves forward. Additionally, NYCHA and the City will require developers to provide stabilized rents and NYCHA residents will have a preference for 25 percent of the units.

The RFP framework for Ingersoll, Van Dyke, and Mill Brook were generated from the goals and priorities identified by residents from outreach, surveys, community visioning workshops, NYCHA resident meetings and ongoing engagement for NextGeneration.

Ingersoll:

The Ingersoll Community Vision Plan developed by nearly 215 residents includes recommendations on identifying funding sources and partners to build affordable and senior housing at Ingersoll.
The RFP seeks a partner to build 100% affordable units for seniors 62 years or older on the site of an unused grass area. The developer is required to propose plans to create first floor community space for residents and surrounding NYCHA community.

Van Dyke:

The Van Dyke Community Vision Plan developed by more than 185 residents includes recommendations on seeking funding sources and partners to invest and build affordable housing in the neighborhood.
The RFP seeks a partner to build 100% affordable units for families on the site of a current parking lot.

Mill Brook:

The Mill Brook Community Vision Plan developed by nearly 300 residents includes recommendations to identify appropriate locations in the community for senior housing, funding sources and partners.
The RFP seeks a partner to build 100% affordable units for seniors 62 years or older on the site of an accessory parking lot. The developer is required to propose plans for a first floor senior community center for residents and community and identify a partner to operator the center and services for seniors.

NYCEDC plans to evaluate respondents based on criteria stated in the RFEI, which may include, but are not limited to: the completeness and quality of the overall response, program and design, financial and schedule feasibility, hiring and workforce programs, respondent qualifications and experience, and economic impact on the City of New York.
