Site work for a water / sewer project in New York, New York. Working plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The owner has selected a Design Builder. The BPCA is currently seeking to determine whether to proceed with a progressive design-build ("PDB") procurement that would combine the North Resiliency Project and the West Resiliency Project. If implemented, this procurement would provide for the design and construction of the combined project under a single PDB contract (the "Combined North and West PDB Project") in accordance with the New York Infrastructure Investment Act, as established in Part F of Chapter 60 of the 2015 Laws of New York and amended from time to time (the "Design-Build Authorizing Act"). The BPCA has determined that the PDB delivery method, as further described below, is likely to best enable the BPCA to realize the expected benefits of design-build contracting (e.g., transfer of design liability, schedule efficiencies and cost savings), while maximizing the opportunity for community engagement and stakeholder feedback on the design. The BPCA invites interested parties ("Interested Parties"), through this Request for Expressions of Interest (this "RFEI"), to register their interest in participating in a competitive selection process for the Combined North and West PDB Project. Although responding to this RFEI is not mandatory in order to participate in any future competitive selection process, it will assist the BPCA in determining whether there is sufficient market interest for the BPCA to proceed with the procurement for the Combined North and West PDB Project. Information that any Interested Party wishes to submit in response to this RFEI will be submitted voluntarily and with the understanding that this RFEI is for information gathering purposes only. This RFEI is not an offer and does not commence, or obligate the BPCA to commence, any competitive procurement opportunity. The BPCA's resiliency projects generally consist of four distinct project areas: the South Battery Park City Resiliency Project (the "South Project"); the BPC Ball Fields & Community Center Resiliency Project (the "Ball Fields Project"); the North Battery Park City Resiliency Project (the "North Project"); and the Battery Park City Western Perimeter Resiliency Project (the "West Project"). The cost of the Combined North and West PDB Project is currently estimated to range from approximately $250 million to approximately $300 million.
