Parks and Recreation in New York, New York is using this solicitation to procure construction work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Quote (RFQ), with award decisions driven primarily by price among pre-qualified bidders. Bidders responding to a construction solicitation in New York are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Federal-aid funding flowing through programs such as the Federal Highway Administration, FEMA, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act brings additional compliance requirements on solicitations like this one, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America provisions where applicable, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals set by the issuing agency. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in New York so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a quote for this RFQ, review the full solicitation documents for Parks and Recreation's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the April 20, 2027 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Direct questions about scope or specifications to cristian.castro@parks.nyc.gov before the agency's question cut-off date. Vendors that have not previously contracted with Parks and Recreation should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
