Description The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a Request For Qualifications (RFQ) to obtain Statements Of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified teams interested in providing design-build services for the Upstate Roadway Reconstruction & Improvements Project.DEP is committed to using best practices as defined by the Design-Build Institute of America in its selection of the design-build team and for carrying out a collaborative design-build approach to project delivery. DEP will utilize a two-step best value selection process that prioritizes design, quality, experience, and qualifications. Only the design-build teams receiving the three (3) highest rated scores for their SOQs will be placed on the short-list, and subsequently invited to submit a proposal in response to the Request for Proposals (RFP). The best value selection process for the RFP will evaluate the ability of the design-build team to design, construct, and manage the project, and to provide a quality asset, on-time and on budget, for a competitive fixed price. DEP will make stipends available to short-listed firms that participate in the RFP process but are not ultimately awarded a design-build contract.Please be advised that this Notice of Intent (NOI) is being issued solely for informational and planning purposes, does not constitute a solicitation and is subject to change. DEP is not seeking responses to this NOI.
