This is a Bid Notice and Expression of Interest (EOI) solicitation issued by the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) on behalf of the City University of New York (CUNY) Lehman College for a campus-wide technology infrastructure upgrade project located at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard West, Bronx, New York. The project involves upgrading the campus IT network infrastructure by replacing existing network equipment and campus IT network cabling that connects campus buildings to two Main Data Center (MDF) installations in Carman Hall and Shuster Hall. A new smaller Main Data Center will be created in Carman 135 to replace the existing installation in Carman 136, with Carman 136 subsequently modified to provide office space for IT staff. Individual building MDF and IDF installations will be upgraded to include new cooling systems and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices. The solicitation is restricted to an EOI phase only, with proposal submissions due on October 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Qualified firms from the EOI phase will be included on a short list and invited to submit formal bids in the near future. The construction contract will be held by DASNY, and the project is governed by an approved Project Labor Agreement (PLA) that all subcontractors of every tier must execute.

The estimated project cost ranges from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000. The solicitation establishes specific participation goals for Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Minority and Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation: 45% minority and women workforce goal for all trades, 18% Minority Business Enterprise goal, 12% Women's Business Enterprise goal, and 6% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses participation. The owner will determine final EEO and M/WBE participation goals when finalized construction and bid documents are distributed to qualified contractors. The EOI package must include ten required tabs covering company profile, relevant project experience (minimum five projects within ten years of similar size and scope), project schedules, safety program documentation, project team resumes, potential subcontractor information, anticipated workload and capacity analysis, Experience Modification Rating (EMR) documentation, bonding capacity certification, and a current NYS Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire. Firms must comply with New York State business registration requirements and provide submissions in PDF format to ccontracts@dasny.org. Communication with DASNY personnel is restricted to designated staff including the Project Manager and specified email address, with unauthorized contacts potentially resulting in disqualification.
