CUNY Lehman College Campus Wide Technology Infrastructure Upgrade Phase 1

The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) is soliciting Expressions of Interest on behalf of CUNY Lehman College for a campus-wide technology infrastructure upgrade at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard West, Bronx, New York, with EOI submissions due October 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM. This is an EOI-phase-only solicitation; qualified firms will be short-listed and invited to submit formal bids thereafter. The project is governed by a Project Labor Agreement that all subcontractors of every tier must execute.

Participation goals are substantial: 45% minority and women workforce across all trades, 18% Minority Business Enterprise, 12% Women's Business Enterprise, and 6% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses participation. DASNY will determine final EEO and M/WBE goals when finalized construction and bid documents are distributed to qualified contractors.

The scope comprises replacement of existing network equipment and campus IT network cabling connecting campus buildings to two Main Data Center installations in Carman Hall and Shuster Hall; creation of a new, smaller Main Data Center in Carman 135 to replace the existing installation in Carman 136; and upgrades to individual building MDF and IDF installations with new cooling systems and UPS devices. Carman 136 will be converted to office space for IT staff.

The estimated project cost ranges from $6 million to $7 million. The EOI package must include ten required tabs: company profile, minimum five relevant 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 documentation, bonding capacity certification, and current NYS Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire. Firms must comply with New York State business registration requirements and submit in PDF format to ccontracts@dasny.org. Communication with DASNY is restricted to designated Project Manager and specified email contact; unauthorized contacts may result in disqualification.
