85027Y0188-NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) Service Express Hardware Maintenance

The New York City Department of Design and Construction is soliciting a vendor for the annual renewal of Service Express hardware maintenance services. This contract focuses exclusively on the maintenance of existing DDC-owned hardware, including servers, data storage, backup, power, and network equipment located in on-premises data centers and network sites. Because much of the equipment from manufacturers such as HP, Dell, EMC, and Cisco is past its standard support period, the agency requires a single agreement to cover these diverse makes to ensure the continued operation of critical applications, databases, and network connectivity. The solicitation requires strict adherence to several New York City and State regulatory mandates. Contractors must comply with the MacBride Principles regarding non-discrimination in employment for operations in Northern Ireland and certify that they are not on the Iran Divestment list. Additionally, the vendor must comply with Section 6-109 of the Administrative Code, ensuring the payment of prevailing or living wages, maintaining certified payroll records for four years, and posting required wage notices at work sites. Failure to cure breaches of these labor requirements within thirty days may result in contract termination. Other required documentation includes the Doing Business Data Form and a Tax Affirmation Template.
