Kent Place/Verizon Parking Plan Bid

The Town of North Castle in Westchester County, New York, is soliciting sealed bids for the Kent Place/Verizon Parking Plan, a comprehensive parking lot expansion and infrastructure improvement project. The procurement involves constructing an expanded parking lot west of Main Street, with key deliverables including new sewer and water service connections, site lighting, refuse areas, and stormwater mitigation. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals with unit pricing for 64 separate line items, covering activities from site clearing to detailed landscaping installations. The bid requires a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the total bid amount, and contractors will be evaluated on qualifications, experience, organizational capacity, financial stability, and past performance. Critical procurement dates include a pre-bid meeting on October 10, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. at the project site, with technical questions accepted until October 18, 2024, and sealed bids due by 10:00 A.M. on October 31, 2024. The contract specifies a 300-calendar-day completion timeline from project commencement, and the Town reserves the right to reject any bids and select from various bid items.

The procurement appears open to all qualified contractors, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the available documentation. A miscellaneous work allowance of $50,000 is included in the project scope, and the total project will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Sales tax exemptions apply for materials becoming an integral part of the structure, and successful bidders must provide necessary business registrations and certifications. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving parking lot expansion, utility connections, lighting, and extensive landscaping—suggests a substantial municipal infrastructure investment. The Town of North Castle will require the selected contractor to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in site development, municipal infrastructure construction, and landscape implementation. Interested bidders can obtain contract documents online through the town's website or BidNet starting October 3, 2024.
