Sheldon Brook Resiliency Planning Project

The Town of Greenburgh, New York is seeking professional consulting services for the Sheldon Brook Resiliency Planning Project through a Request for Proposals (RFP) funded by a Resilient Investments through Support and Capital (RISC) grant from the NYS Housing Trust Fund Corporation. The primary objective is to conduct comprehensive drainage analysis, develop conceptual design solutions, and create flood mitigation plans for the Sheldon Brook Drainage District, targeting six specific project areas including the Montefiore Campus, Sleepy Hollow Conference Center, Walter Street commercial area, Sheldon Ave residential area, Glenwolde Park, and Meadow Street/Millbrook Avenue area. The project, funded through a HUD Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) allocation in response to Hurricane Ida, requires detailed technical assistance with a two-year initial contract term and potential for two additional two-year extensions. Proposals are due by April 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with questions accepted until March 5, 2025, and responses posted by March 20, 2025. Evaluation criteria will assess firms based on experience and qualifications (30 points), project understanding (30 points), project schedule (20 points), and cost (20 points).

The procurement opportunity is open to all business entities without specific service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside restrictions. However, the RFP establishes specific participation goals for minority-owned (MBE) at 15%, women-owned (WBE) at 15%, and service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOB) at 6% contractors. Firms must provide comprehensive general liability insurance coverage of $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate, along with excess/umbrella coverage of $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate. The RFP requires submission of unit costs for each project task and a schedule of hourly rates for additional work. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors were identified as having been awarded similar contracts within the past five years. While a specific budget range was not explicitly stated, the project's funding through a HUD CDBG-DR allocation suggests significant financial resources are available for comprehensive flood mitigation and resiliency planning in the Sheldon Brook Drainage District.
