Albany County and the City of Albany are seeking contractors for a retaining wall repair project located at the State Office Building Campus at 1220 Washington Ave in Albany, New York. The procurement opportunity involves comprehensive repair services for existing retaining walls, with a contract term of 528 days from the award date. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for Thursday, October 16, 2025, at 11:00 am, which potential bidders must attend to fully understand the project scope. The proposal submission deadline is October 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with interested contractors required to carefully review all bid documentation. Specific technical requirements and detailed specifications are likely contained in the attached 47390C FULL.docx document, which would outline the precise repair methodologies, materials, and performance standards expected for the retaining wall rehabilitation project.

The contract opportunity includes significant subcontracting goals designed to promote diversity in business participation, specifically targeting minority-owned businesses at 15%, women-owned businesses at 15%, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses at 6%. There are no explicit service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside provisions for the primary contract.
