New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) seeks a qualified consultant (the “Consultant”) to administer the ConstructNYC Training Program, including related marketing and vetting activities. In 2015, NYCEDC launched ConstructNYC, which is designed to prequalify small-to-mid-sized Minority, Women-Owned, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (“M/W/DBE”s) in specific trades to work on NYCEDC projects. The Consultant would deliver the training component, through a combination of classroom learning and one-on-one technical assistance, to firms who have applied and been accepted into the program. The training will be focused on strengthening the financial, project management and business acumen of participating firms to build their capacity and put them in a stronger competitive position.
NYCEDC plans to select a consultant on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: appropriateness and quality of respondent’s experience, qualifications of proposed staff, approach and methodology, M/W/DBE participation, and proposed fee.
It is the policy of NYCEDC to comply with all federal, state and City laws and regulations which prohibit unlawful discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status and other protected category and to take affirmative action in working with contracting parties to ensure certified M/W/DBEs share in the economic opportunities generated by NYCEDC’s projects and initiatives. Please refer to the Equal Employment and Affirmative Compliance for Non-Construction Contracts Addendum in the RFP.
This project has M/W/DBE participation goals, and all respondents will be required to submit an M/W/DBE Participation Proposal with their response. To learn more about NYCEDC’s M/W/DBE program, visit http://edc.nyc/opportunity-mwdbe. For the list of companies who have been certified with the New York City Department of Small Business Services as M/W/DBE, please go to the https://sbsconnect.nyc.gov/certification-directory-search/.
NYCEDC established the Contract Financing Loan Fund programs for M/W/DBE s interested in working on public construction projects. Contract Financing Loan Fund facilitates financing for short-term mobilization needs such as insurance, labor, supplies and equipment. Bidders/subcontractors are strongly encouraged to visit the NYCEDC website at http://edc.nyc/opportunity-mwdbe to learn more about the program.
