NOI_2024- 0001_TRUST MODERNIZATION & PRESERVATION PROGRAM: NOSTRAND HOUSES (BROOKLYN) AND BRONX RIVER ADDITION (BRONX)

The New York City Public Housing Preservation Trust (“the Trust”) intends to issue a Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) to obtain statements of qualifications (“SOQ”) from design-build firms and design-build teams by the end of May as the first step of a two-step procurement process for design-build services at the first two developments to opt into the Trust’s Modernization & Preservation Program: Nostrand Houses (Brooklyn) and Bronx River Addition (Bronx) (each, a “Project”).

This Notice of Intent (“NOI”) is being issued solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation.

CONTACT: The Trust is not seeking responses to this NOI, thus, the NOI does not have a Trust contact.

The purpose of the Trust Modernization & Preservation Program (“Trust Mod Program”) is to comprehensively renovate properties and to improve operations of public housing developments. The Trust Mod Program comprehensively renovates buildings and increases funding for operations and capital repairs using the federal Section 8 program. Residents must vote to opt into the Trust Mod Program and help drive the priorities for the initial renovation project, serve as members of the committee that selects the contractors to perform the work, and oversee the quality of work completed. NYCHA continues to manage the property, but the Trust oversees NYCHA’s operations and holds them accountable for performing to industry standards.

SOQs received for each Project will be evaluated in accordance with the terms of the RFQ and ranked accordingly. The highest ranked design-build firms or teams for each Project will be invited to participate in the second step of the procurement for that Project. The work to be performed for each Project will include: 1) comprehensive modernization via design-build services, 2) hazardous materials abatement, 3) tenant communications, and 4) tenant relocation services.

This NOI is not part of the future procurements.
