45791 HVAC

Solicitation 45791, issued by the New York State OGS Design and Construction group, involves a comprehensive construction project at the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center located in Queens Village, New York. The scope of work focuses on Building 73 and encompasses the replacement of roofs and repair of the facade, alongside integrated HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. A significant portion of the technical requirements involves unit masonry, including the installation of concrete masonry units, mortar, grout, and steel reinforcing bars to construct cavity, composite, and single-wythe walls in compliance with TMS 602/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6 standards. The project mandates strict material handling and storage protocols, requiring masonry units and cementitious materials to be kept on elevated platforms in dry locations with waterproof covering where necessary. Quality assurance will be managed by a special inspector and a qualified testing agency engaged by the Director's Representative, with inspections following BDC 406 guidelines and directions from the Code Compliance Manager. Following the issuance of Addendum No. 1 on October 2, 2026, which provided revised unit masonry specifications, the bid submission deadline was extended to October 21, 2026.
