Always confirm dates on the agency's own posting before pricing a job — dates move, and addenda are what move them. Full board: The RFP Wire.

How to bid at NYC Parks

Get registered first

PASSPort; Parks prequalified lists or project-specific requirements where used. A missing registration is the most common reason an otherwise good bid is thrown out as non-responsive, and it is the part that takes weeks rather than days — start it before the job you want is posted, not after.

The trades this owner actually buys

Landscape; site work; concrete; playground equipment; sports surfaces; irrigation; plumbing; general building.

Read the notice, never assume the goals

M/WBE, DBE and SDVOB participation goals are set contract by contract and depend on the funding source behind the job. They are printed on each solicitation notice. Read the notice every time — a standard number does not exist.
