Q1996C: Provide Office Modifications, 7th Floor

New York State Office of General Services (OGS) Design & Construction Group, on behalf of the Office of the New York State Attorney General, is soliciting sealed bids for Project No. Q1996-C, office modifications on the 7th floor of the Shirley Chisholm State Office Building, with a pre-bid site visit on November 24, 2026 and bids due December 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The project carries an overall MWBE participation goal of 30% (15% MBE and 15% WBE) under New York State Executive Law Article 15-A and an SDVOB goal of 3% for the C trade contractor. Because design commenced on or after January 1, 2020, Public Buildings Law 8(6) applies: a responsible MWBE bidder submitting within ten percent of the lowest bid will be deemed the apparent low bidder, provided its bid does not exceed $1,737,918 (adjusted annually for inflation as of March 1, 2026).

The work is a construction contract for office modifications at 55 Hanson Place, Brooklyn, in Kings County. Substantial completion is due 269 days after the Agreement is approved by the Comptroller. The project is Wicks-Exempt and requires form BDC 59 with the bid; failure to submit this form correctly results in bid disqualification. Each bid must include bid security of $27,200. Successful bidders must furnish Performance and Labor and Material Bonds, each for 100% of the contract amount.

The estimated contract value is between $500,000 and $1,000,000.

Prospective bidders must schedule the 11:00 a.m. site visit at least 48 hours in advance with Courtnay Noel at (845) 365-0730 and present photo identification on arrival. Bidding documents are available through OGS Design & Construction's electronic bidding service, Bid Express (bidexpress.com). Bidders are subject to State Finance Law 139-j and 139-k restrictions on communications with OGS D&C during the procurement, and inquiries must go through the designated staff contacts. Bids will be publicly opened and read at the December 9 deadline. The opportunity was posted October 28, 2026.
