MWBE/SDVOB Opportunity - Elmhurst Hospital J1 Infectious Disease Clinic Renovation (PLA/Union)

Vernon Construction & Development LLC is seeking qualified subcontractors and suppliers for an interior renovation project at Elmhurst Hospital's J1 Infectious Disease Clinic, located at 79-01 Broadway in Queens, NY. The project involves renovating approximately 7,200 square feet of healthcare facility space and requires a comprehensive range of trade services including selective demolition, concrete restoration, architectural woodworking, fireproofing, doors and hardware, glazing, carpentry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and multiple other specialized construction disciplines. The procurement is structured with a Project Labor Agreement (PLA), which mandates that the successful low bidder and all subcontractors must execute and be bound by the agreement. Interested parties must submit proposals by December 22, 2025, with subcontractor bids specifically due on December 23, 2025, at 5:00 PM. Potential bidders can access additional bid documents and procurement information by contacting Arnold Elsner via email at estimating@vernon.net or by phone at 212-421-2000 extension 1.

The contract opportunity includes specific Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation goals, with an 18% minority-owned subcontracting goal and a 12% women-owned subcontracting goal. The procurement does not appear to have a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) set-aside, though SDVOB firms are invited to participate. The project spans multiple New York City jurisdictions, including Queens County, and is being executed under New York state procurement guidelines. While a specific project budget is not disclosed, the comprehensive scope of work and healthcare facility renovation suggest a significant capital investment. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate substantial experience in healthcare facility renovations, compliance with project labor agreements, and the ability to meet the specified MWBE participation requirements.
