‘MADE IN NY’ Trade Show Partnership Consultant Services Fashion Show Emerging NY Fashion Designers

September 18, 2015– The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) is seeking a consultant to develop and implement a fashion trade show partnership benefiting emerging, NY-based fashion designers. The Program is intended to build upon the expansion of the Made in New York (“MiNY”) brand into the fashion industry as well. The Program shall offer a group of emerging, NY-based fashion designers a series of MiNY-branded booths and display space to showcase collections of locally produced apparel and accessories.

In February 2015, NYCEDC launched the expansion of the Made in New York brand to the fashion industry. MiNY has been shaped by new and expanded programs, and a significant investment in public private partnerships. It is anticipated that the suite of MiNY programs will directly support the fashion industry’s production, design and retail communities, and aim to bolster the City’s working designers and manufacturers, along with those aspiring to join these communities. Program goals are as follows:
• Provide emerging, NYC-based fashion brands creating locally produced apparel, accessories, and jewelry unique opportunities to engage with retail buyers that are otherwise inaccessible
• Raise the profile of brands that manufacture products locally
• Build brand identity and prestige of “Made in NY” branded programs
• Strengthen NYC’s overall brand as a center of high-quality fashion production, and increase overall awareness of fashion products made in New York City and the economic, social, and cultural benefits of local production

NYCEDC plans to select a consultant on the basis of factors stated in the 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 RFP.

Companies who have been certified with the New York City Department of Small Business Services as Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises (“M/WBE”) are strongly encouraged to apply.

September 18, 2015

CareerBridge
Human Resources Agency (HRA) seeks to update its entire set of workforce services to orient them toward increased opportunities for education and toward long-term self-sufficiency outcomes. HRA’s foremost goal in its new set of services is to provide a flexible array of services that are holistic and clientfocused, with strong continuity and focus on supports to provide opportunities for clients to achieve independence and selfsufficiency. The forthcoming CareerBridge Request for Proposals (RFP) will seek up to twenty-seven (27) qualified service contractors to provide CareerBridge services, most of which will be contextualized in HRA-identified target sector clusters, for: adult basic education, high school equivalency preparation, bridge training, English as a Second Language, and vocational training. HRA intends to use a sector-based model to focus attention on the education and training needs of clients, as they result in long-term self-sufficiency. HRA intends to situate CareerBridge within the target sector clusters of healthcare and social assistance; technology; industrial/manufacturing; construction; retail/customer service and food service/accommodation; maintenance and security; and transportation/warehousing. The selected providers will be expected to provide Pre-training orientation, Curricula and Teaching Models, Education Mentorship, Tutoring, and Peer Engagement, Bridge Coordination, Apprenticeships/Internships, Job Placement, Retention, and Advancement.

CareerCompass
HRA seeks to update its entire set of workforce services to orient them toward increased opportunities for education and toward long-term self-sufficiency outcomes. With the new CareerCompass program, targeted toward clients ages 25 and older, HRA intends to build on past innovations to use comprehensive systems for assessment and career pathways service coordination within a sector-based, employer-approved model to focus attention on the career-readiness, educational access, workplace retention, advancement, and long-term selfsufficiency of clients. Clients who participate in CareerCompass will create a career path that details a timeline for each step’s completion. Each step on the career pathway should lead to a credential, certificate, or degree that is recognized by the industry. Job placement strategies within the career pathways framework should focus on developing opportunities within the sector that have room for advancement. CareerCompass provides assessment, service planning, client goal-setting, ongoing financial counseling, and ongoing supportive service coordination (particularly for client transitions to career milestones and navigation of systems to achieve career advancement) within this model, and it is anticipated that HRA will select up to nine (9) providers under the forthcoming Request for Proposals (RFP). HRA seeks proposals for comprehensive, strengths-based assessments and ongoing service coordination for client career paths, informed by labor market demand. Service coordination services are tailored to the needs of individuals and provide ongoing support for progress toward client’s overall goals. Selected providers will provide orientation and assessment, career pathways service coordination and support services, financial counseling, and coordination.

The Human Resources Administration (“HRA” or “Agency”) seeks to update its entire set of workforce services to orient them toward increased opportunities for education and toward long-term self-sufficiency outcomes. With the new CareerAdvance program, HRA intends to use a sector-based model to focus attention on the career-readiness, workplace retention, advancement, and long-term self-sufficiency of clients. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will seek up to seventeen (17) qualified service contractors to operate CareerAdvance programs throughout the City. Selected vendors will provider Pre-employment and job placement services, retention and advancement services, apprenticeships/internships, and financial counseling. HRA envisions a three-tier assessment process as a result of the re-engineering of systems and operations workflow. The first tier would consist of clients having the option to respond to questions at computer banks located within HRA Job Centers. The second tier, conducted by an HRA worker at Job Centers, would seek additional information to determine whether the clients need referral to other HRA programs, for example, domestic violence or medical and/or mental health, or substance use treatment services.

55 Stuyvesant Place – Staten Island

September 24, 2015– New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) seeks proposals (“Proposals”, each a “Proposal”) from qualified developers for the redevelopment of 55 Stuyvesant Place, a historic municipal office building (the “Building”) located in the heart of the North Shore of Staten Island (the “North Shore”). The Building is owned by the City of New York (the “City”) and available for purchase or lease.

55 Stuyvesant Place is a five-story, 37,675 square foot Art Deco building. Constructed in 1935, the Building was designed by Henry C. Pelton, who was also responsible for Riverside Church, Park Avenue United Methodist Church and a multitude of buildings in New York City. The Building features two elevators and separate stairwells and entryways which provide access to double-loaded corridors, high ceilings and floors with waterfront views. The floor-plates range from 4,000 – 6,000 square feet and have potential for a variety of layouts. The Building is a centrally-located City-owned asset in support of an emerging cluster of innovative technology and creative businesses in Downtown Staten Island.

NYCEDC plans to select a developer on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: the economic impact of the project on New York City, the response team’s qualifications, the project’s financial feasibility, and the degree to which the project is complementary to the surrounding community. NYCEDC will show preference for quality proposals that support creative, media and/or technology uses that enhance the neighborhood’s transformation as a center for information, aim to strengthen and revitalize the urban context of the Site, propose a design and program that enhances connections to and accessibility for the surrounding community and strive to achieve design excellence.

This project has Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise (“M/WBE”) participation goals, and all respondents will be required to submit an M/WBE Participation Proposal with their response. To learn more about NYCEDC’s M/WBE program, visit http://www.nycedc.com/opportunitymwdbe.

NYPD Gunshot Detection and Location System Model

September 25, 2015– The New York City Police Department (“NYPD”) is seeking to enter into a contract for a Gunshot Detection and Location System (“System”). The proposed System would use specially placed microphones to pinpoint, in seconds, the precise location of gunfire within coverage areas. The overall goal of the System is to reduce indiscriminate gunfire, reduce gunshot-related injuries and deaths, and to increase recovery of ballistic evidence, perpetrator arrests and successful prosecutions associated with illegal gun-related activities. The NYPD has previously entered into a Demonstration Project contract to evaluate the reliability and feasibility of utilizing gunshot detection technology in New York City. This Demonstration Project has been a success, and the NYPD is now proceeding with a new contract to provide for such a System in broader areas of the City for a longer term.

Specifically, the NYPD is looking for a robust gunshot detection system model that uses a network of sensors affixed to rooftops and other high points to detect subsonic and supersonic impulses generated by gun fire within a large outdoor area. The system should use multiple, collaborating sensors that will allow the system to geo-locate the exact location from which a shot was fired (both latitude/longitude and street address). The system should also have audio analysis software that identifies the gunshots. The selected vendor also needs to be able to provide a team of acoustic experts, stationed at a round-the-clock adjudication center, to listen to the sounds that prompted each alert and to communicate directly with the NYPD in real-time. The NYPD believes that adding human judgment to the process drastically reduces the number of false positives. The Gunshot Detection and Location System must also be able to detect the number of shots fired and the position, speed, and direction of travel if the shooter is moving, and provide a digital record of the shooting for investigative or evidentiary use.

At this point, the NYPD knows of only one vendor that offers a Gunshot Detection and Location System that has all of the features which it is seeking. This vendor is Shotspotter, Inc., located at 7979 Gateway Blvd., Suite 210, Newark, CA 94560. Thus, the NYPD intends to negotiate with Shotspotter, Inc. and any other vendors that express an interest in this solicitation for the provision of the required Gunshot Detection and Location System for the NYPD.

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”):

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. To learn more about NYCEDC’s M/WBE program, visit http://www.nycedc.com/opportunitymwdbe.
