Trailside Zoo Eagle Pavilion Upgrades-Bear Mountain State Park

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is soliciting bids for the Eagle Pavilion upgrades at the Trailside Zoo of Bear Mountain State Park in Tomkins Cove, New York. This project is divided into three distinct contracts: General Construction (D006683) for demolition, site improvements, and the construction of a new shelter building, pavilion, and enclosure; Electrical (D006684) for service and lighting; and Plumbing (D006685) for drainage, water lines, and site water features. The project must be completed within 180 consecutive calendar days following approval by the NYS Comptroller’s Office. The solicitation is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) where awards are based on the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Specific socioeconomic goals are established for the general construction contract, including 11 percent for Minority Owned Business Enterprises, 19 percent for Women Owned Business Enterprises, and 6 percent for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses; the electrical and plumbing contracts require a good faith effort for these categories. Bidders must be registered with the Bureau of Public Work and Prevailing Wage Enforcement and must certify they maintain a written policy addressing gender-based violence in the workplace to avoid disqualification. Required submissions include a bid form and bid security via email in PDF format by the December 1, 2026, deadline. The successful bidder must provide performance and labor/material bonds for 100 percent of the contract amount, a certificate of insurance, and an Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement if the contract exceeds 25,000 dollars. All payments will be processed electronically.
