Kitchen Renovation

The New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), Bernard Fineson Developmental Disability Services Offices (DDSO), is soliciting quotes for a complete kitchen renovation project at a residential facility located at 130-57 225th Street, Laurelton, NY 11413, in Queens County. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) encompasses comprehensive kitchen work including demolition, ceiling and electrical upgrades, plumbing inspection and replacement, appliance reinstallation, flooring installation, cabinetry and countertop installation, backsplash tiling, and painting. The project must be completed within 14 days of purchase order award, with work restricted to 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Prospective bidders must attend a mandatory site visit on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the project location; attendance will be recorded and strictly enforced, with vendors failing to attend in their entirety or arriving late deemed ineligible to submit quotes. Written questions may be submitted within two business days of the site visit (by April 6, 2026), with responses distributed by April 9, 2026. Completed quotes must be submitted via email to Brooklyn.CMM.Bids@opwdd.ny.gov by 2:30 PM on April 16, 2026. The contract will be awarded to the most responsible and responsive vendor providing the lowest cost while meeting all scope requirements, with evaluation based on compliance with prevailing wage requirements, comprehensive insurance coverage, and adherence to project specifications and timelines.

This is a New York State Public Works project requiring prevailing wage compliance, and all contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the New York State Department of Labor prior to bid submission and must provide valid registration certificates (effective December 30, 2024) with their quotes; failure to provide registration documentation results in automatic bid disqualification. The prevailing wage rates vary by trade classification, ranging from approximately $27.99 to over $124.68 per hour plus supplemental benefits of $13 to $107 per hour, with overtime rates at time-and-one-half after eight hours per day. Required qualifications include current certificates of workers' compensation insurance (forms C105.2 or U26.3), liability insurance of at least one million dollars (ACORD or equivalent), disability coverage (form DB120.1), OSHA 10 safety training certification for all workers, and signed New York State Standard Clauses (Appendix A) prior to contract commencement. The bid price must include all materials, labor, disposal fees, and site cleanup, and the awarded contractor must provide a three-year warranty on all work. While no specific budget range is provided in the procurement documents, the project is subject to New York State discretionary purchasing authority procedures and the Construction Industry Fair Play Act, with Wicks Law requirements mandating separate specifications and bidding for plumbing, heating, and electrical work.
