DDC will select the most highly qualified Proposers to participate in a subsequent Request for Proposals ("RFP"). The City of New York is committed to achieving excellence in design and construction across its portfolio of public works, building on the tradition of innovation in architecture and engineering that has contributed to the City's prestige as a global destination. As the City's primary capital project delivery agency, the Department of Design and Construction ("DDC") works with other City entities, community partners, and the architecture, engineering, and construction industry to design and build many of the civic facilities New Yorkers use every day. These include firehouses, libraries, recreation facilities, courthouses, senior centers and more, as well as facilities for maintenance, operations, and administration to support the day-to-day operations of the City. DDC also delivers roadway, sewer and water main construction projects in all five boroughs, as well as street reconstruction plazas, pedestrian bridges, coastal resiliency infrastructure, green infrastructure and pedestrian ramps. As part of the New York City Public Works Investment Act ("Act") recently passed by New York State, DDC is authorized to award design-build contracts for certain public works within the City, expanding the City's range of project delivery methods. Under the design-build ("DB") delivery method, a single entity, which may include one or more firms, will be procured and will be responsible to the City for the design and construction of the Project. By utilizing a DB project delivery approach, the City and DDC expect to benefit from best value selection, greater cost and schedule certainty, and potential time savings. Other expected benefits include: o An integrated project team with single point of contact and clear assignment of responsibilities, with an emphasis on coordination and quality assurance in all aspects of design and construction. o An exemplary design executed with high-quality, durable construction for long-term performance, functionality, and reliability, including considerations of life-cycle operational and maintenance costs and energy performance. o Conformance to applicable laws and regulations, with an emphasis on public safety, accessibility, sustainability and resiliency. As part of this effort, the Department of Design and Construction ("DDC") is pleased to announce the following two step procurement for design-build services.
