Professional Consulting Services for DRI Projects

The Village of Endicott, New York, is seeking qualified professional consulting firms to support its Downtown Revitalization Initiative projects, with a focus on enhancing streetscape and pedestrian infrastructure within the village’s core neighborhoods. The scope of work encompasses developing preliminary and final design plans, preparing approval and bid documents, and providing engineering review during construction, with potential supplemental services such as construction inspection and additional surveying. The project aims to improve safety, accessibility, and aesthetic appeal through features like ADA-compliant curb ramps, crosswalk upgrades, street trees, dedicated bike lanes, artistic installations, and decorative lighting, particularly around Washington Avenue, North Street, Oak Hill Avenue, and Odell Avenue. The initiative emphasizes community input, environmental assessments, regulatory compliance, and coordination with multiple agencies to ensure successful project delivery. The contract, valued between 500,000 and 2 million dollars, is open to all New York State counties and is scheduled for completion by December 2026, with design approval anticipated by December 2025. The solicitation emphasizes diversity and inclusion, setting MWBE utilization goals of 15% each for minority and women-owned businesses, and a 6% goal for service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises, requiring firms to demonstrate good faith efforts in meeting these targets during the design phase. The selection process will evaluate firms based on responsiveness, relevant experience, key personnel qualifications, project management capabilities, and ability to deliver within schedule and budget constraints. Interested firms must submit a comprehensive Letter of Interest by July 24, 2025, outlining their background, relevant project experience, team composition, project approach, and cost management strategies, with questions due by July 9, 2025. The project is managed by the Village of Endicott’s Office of the Village Manager, with Anthony Bates serving as the primary contact.
