NYCHA, by issuing this RFP, seeks proposals ("Proposals") from qualified emergency response firms (the "Proposers") to provide NYCHA with flood protection services including but not limited to deployment and removal of NYCHA's flood protection measures, and inspection, maintenance, and repair of those flood protection measures as needed at NYCHA developments located in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, as detailed more fully within Section II of this RFP (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are a part of NYCHA's strategy to protect NYCHA developments in low-lying areas from coastal storm surge. NYCHA's flood protection measures consist of certain deployable measures (which are assembled in preparation for a flood and disassembled when the flood is over), and certain permanently installed measures (some of which are "passive" and operate automatically when flood waters rise) as described in Section II (hereinafter "flood protection measures" or "components"). If Proposer seeks a full or partial waiver from complying with the M/WBE Program's utilization requirements set forth in Section IV(1)(o) then Proposer shall email the RFP Coordinator the NYCHA Application for Waiver of M/WBE Utilization Goal (Attachment H-1) by April 4, 2023 (the "M/WBE Waiver Submission Deadline"). See Section IV(1)(o) for details. To receive an invite to the teleconference please RSVP by email to Nick Yuan at Nick.Yuan@nycha.nyc.gov by 4:00 P.M. on March 28, 2023.

Proposals which are saved in iSupplier as a "draft" but not successfully submitted will not be considered.
