The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) is seeking bids for an electrical contract to install a ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) array system at John Boyd Thacher State Park in Albany County. The comprehensive project involves installing the PV array system with necessary electrical connections to existing infrastructure, constructing chain link fencing, and performing tree and shrub planting. Bidders must submit their proposals via WebEx by 12:30 PM on September 16, 2025, with a public bid opening scheduled for 1:00 PM the same day. The project has a total contract duration of 365 days following approval by the NYS Comptroller's Office. Potential bidders are required to submit a bid security of $44,350.00 and must comply with a new contractor registry requirement established in December 2024, which mandates registration with the Bureau of Public Work and Prevailing Wage Enforcement. The contract opportunity does not include a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned set-aside, but it does establish specific Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation goals. These goals include 14% for Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBE) and 16% for Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE). The estimated contract value ranges from $753,887.00 to $1,019,964.00. Successful bidders will be required to provide Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds, each covering 100% of the contract amount, and must submit an Executive Order No. 16 certification prior to contract award. No businesses are listed as having been awarded identical or substantially similar procurement contracts within the past five years. The project will be located at John Boyd Thacher State Park in Albany County, New York, and involves integrating the new PV array system with the park's existing electrical infrastructure.
