RFQ for Contractor Pre-Qualification & Application

Broome County Land Bank Corporation is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit pre-qualification applications from contractors across all trades for the Vacant Rental Improvement Program (V-RIP). The purpose of this RFQ is to establish a pool of qualified contractors capable of providing renovation and improvement services for vacant rental properties within Broome County, NY. Interested parties must submit their applications by January 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM via mail, hand delivery, or email, with specifications and application forms available online through designated state procurement platforms. The contract awarded will be a one-time agreement, with project values estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and the scope covers work within Broome County. The BCLBC emphasizes its commitment to equal opportunity and encourages submissions from Section 3 residents and businesses, minority and women-owned enterprises, small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and labor surplus area firms. While there is no set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, all qualified entities are invited to respond. The contract aims to support the rehabilitation of vacant properties to promote community revitalization, with the BCLBC reserving the right to reject any or all responses. For further details, interested contractors can contact Jessica Nejeschleba, the Executive Director, via email or phone, or access additional information through the New York State Contract Reporter or Empire State Purchasing Group websites.
