The North Country Rural Development Coalition (NRDC), acting on behalf of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance (TRA), is soliciting architectural and engineering services for the comprehensive redevelopment of 108 Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga, NY. The procurement seeks a qualified firm to design a multi-phase project involving 4-5 residential units (anticipated to be a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments), two commercial spaces, and an adjacent storage area. The selected firm will be responsible for complete architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), fire protection, and site planning services, ensuring full compliance with local, state, and federal regulations including building codes, ADA accessibility, and fire safety requirements. Evaluation criteria will assess proposals across six categories: firm experience (25 points), project approach (25 points), timeline/management (20 points), fee proposal (15 points), MWBE/Section 3 participation (10 points), and references (5 points). The Request for Proposals (RFP) requires electronic submission of one PDF proposal via email to info@northcountryruraldevelopment.org by March 17, 2025, with the subject line "RFP Submission - 108 Montcalm Architectural & Engineering Services", and the final contract due date is March 25, 2025 at 5:00 PM. The procurement strongly encourages participation from Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Section 3 businesses, with specific participation goals including 20% MWBE participation, 10% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business contracting, and 10% Disadvantaged Owned Sub-Contracting. The project is located in Essex County and covers all New York State counties, with no identified incumbent vendors for similar contracts in the past five years. While the total project budget is not explicitly stated, the RFP indicates the project is currently undergoing preliminary work including roof replacement, structural stabilization, asbestos/mold abatement, electrical installation, and facade restoration. One residential unit must be ADA-accessible on the first floor and comply with New York State Homes and Community Renewal Design Standards. If total project costs exceed Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) funding, separate performance and surety bonds will be required for additional funding sources. The contract term is currently to be determined (TBD), suggesting flexibility in project timeline and potential phased implementation.
