Purchase, Delivery, and Set up of a Modular Home

The Herkimer County Land Bank is requesting proposals for the purchase, delivery, and setup of a modular home at 386 West Main Street, Little Falls, New York, with proposals due November 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT and an anticipated award date of November 18, 2026.

The scope is a turnkey, code-compliant, energy-efficient 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom modular home of approximately 1,500–2,000 square feet. Deliverables include factory construction, transportation, site preparation coordination, crane setting, module joining, utility rough-ins and connections, exterior and interior finishes, and final inspections with Certificate of Occupancy support. The Land Bank will apply for the building permit and assumes a reasonably accessible, relatively flat residential lot with utilities available at or near the property line; significant site-specific challenges will be addressed during negotiation. Proposers must have experience with New York State modular construction and include itemized costs for the modular home, delivery and transportation, site work and setup, utility connections, permits and inspection fees, finishes and allowances, and optional upgrades such as garages or covered decks.

The RFP encourages submissions from Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises and Veteran Business Enterprises but does not impose a set-aside or preference restriction. Project completion, including Certificate of Occupancy, is due by July 31, 2027.

Evaluation criteria are total cost and value (40%), quality of proposed home design, materials, and energy performance (25%), experience and ability to perform in upstate New York (20%), proposal completeness and clarity (10%), and schedule and warranty terms (5%). Questions are due October 26, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Site visits may be scheduled upon request. Submissions are required electronically in PDF format to hclb@herkimercountyny.gov, with two hard copies to 109 Mary Street, Suite 1310, Herkimer, New York 13350. Prevailing wage or other labor requirements may apply depending on the funding source, which has not yet been confirmed.
