The procurement seeks a contractor to design, furnish, and install a specific architectural glass curtain wall system measuring approximately 117" x 84" with an arch, featuring a Type 250, 2-panel non-bullet-resistant aluminum system with a black or clear anodized finish. A medium-stile aluminum entrance door with specialized hardware is also required, including back-to-back pull handles, an electric strike, an Adams Rite 4591 curved exit paddle, and an exterior key cylinder in black finish. The bid is scheduled to be opened on November 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a mandatory pre-bid site inspection on October 31, 2025, at 11 AM. Contractors must comply with New York State Department of Labor regulations, maintain OSHA 10 safety training, be licensed by Westchester County for plumbing and electrical work, and adhere to prevailing wage rates. Work must be performed outside normal City Hall operating hours, with careful coordination and minimal disruption to existing operations.

Contractor eligibility requires registration in the Public Work Contractor and Subcontractor Registry by December 30, 2024, and submission of various certifications including a Vendor Background Questionnaire, MacBride Fair Employment Principles Certification, and Iran Divestment Act Compliance. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including worker's compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability, with the City of Yonkers named as an additional insured. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, contractors must demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and compliance with local regulatory requirements. The project involves electronic certified payroll submissions and requires meticulous attention to architectural details, including preserving existing marble surfaces and matching the specified design specifications. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the complexity of the curtain wall and door installation, coupled with the specialized architectural requirements, suggests a significant capital investment for the City of Yonkers.
