This is a Pre-Submission Site Visit RSVP form for the Terminal B Safety Improvements project, administered by the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation (ECHDC), a subsidiary of New York State's Empire State Development (ESD). The project involves construction services for repairs and improvements at the Terminal B waterfront located at 901 Fuhrmann Boulevard in Buffalo's Outer Harbor. The scope of work includes rehabilitation of existing pavement surfaces, installation of new guardrail systems adjacent to the quay wall, localized concrete repairs, site lighting upgrades, and related work to enhance public safety and accessibility. The work is divided into two prime contracts: Contract Package 1 for Site Electrical and Lighting Upgrades and Contract Package 2 for Site Construction and Structural Repairs. A mandatory pre-submission site visit was scheduled for July 8, 2026 at 2 PM, with this RSVP form serving as the registration mechanism for potential bidders and their firm representatives to confirm attendance.

The form requests that attendees provide their name, organization, job title, phone number, and email address, with ESD intending to publish the list of site visit attendees as an Addendum to the RFP to facilitate networking among potential contractors, subcontractors, and partners. Respondents have the option to opt out of having their contact information publicly posted. The procurement includes contracting goals of 6.00% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) and 30.00% for Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MWBE). No businesses have been awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years, indicating a new competitive opportunity for qualified construction companies in New York.
