47776CHPE: Renovate Train Depot

Solicitation 2140093, managed by the NYS Office of General Services on behalf of the Department of Environmental Conservation, seeks bids for the renovation of the Saranac Lake Train Depot in Franklin County, New York. The project is divided into four separate contracts: Construction Work (estimated $1M to $2M), HVAC Work ($500K to $1M), Electrical Work ($250K to $500K), and Plumbing Work ($100K to $250K). Bids must be submitted by 2:00 p.m. on December 2, 2026, and must include specific bid securities ranging from $15,100 to $61,900 depending on the trade. The project requires substantial completion within 407 days of Comptroller approval, and successful bidders must provide performance and labor/material bonds for 100% of the contract amount. The contract emphasizes socioeconomic goals, establishing MWBE participation targets of 30% for construction and HVAC trades and 10% for plumbing and electrical trades, with specific goals for MBE, WBE, and SDVOB enterprises. A significant MWBE bid preference is in place, where a certified MWBE firm submitting a bid within 10% of the lowest bid may be deemed the apparent low bidder, provided the bid does not exceed $1,737,918 (adjusted for inflation as of March 1, 2026). All bidders must comply with State Finance Law sections 139-j and 139-k regarding communication restrictions during the procurement process.
