Mitigation of Water Infiltration Design RFP

This contract involves a project funded in part by a New York Parks and Recreation grant aimed at assessing and repairing the historic structures of the Museum and Fountain Elms in Utica, NY. The scope includes evaluating the current exterior conditions, developing a repair plan suitable for historic preservation, creating a detailed scope of work, selecting appropriate materials, obtaining approval from the NY State Historic Preservation Office, and preparing a bid package for the necessary repairs. The primary focus areas are the Museum’s roof, a granite apron around the foundation, and addressing water leakage issues in the Fountain Elms hallway ceiling, likely caused by problems with the terrace. The contract emphasizes inclusivity goals, with a 15% target for women-owned and minority-owned subcontracting, and is scheduled to run from November 15, 2024, to December 13, 2026. The project is located in Oneida County, and there have been no prior contracts of similar scope awarded to any business entities within the last five years. The total contract value is estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, with the solicitation posted on October 17, 2024, and a response deadline of November 15, 2024.
