The Department of Design and Construction has awarded D & S Restoration, Inc. two separate contracts for asbestos, lead, and mold abatement services covering all five boroughs: $1,500,000 for Brooklyn and Queens, and another $1,500,000 for the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island.
DDC split the citywide abatement work geographically rather than putting it out as one contract, which is typical for this kind of on-call remediation work — one team covers the west side of the boroughs split, another covers the rest, so the agency isn't relying on a single contractor's crew capacity for every hazardous-material job across the city.
Both awards landed on the same firm, at the identical dollar figure, posted the same day. The City Record Online postings for both contracts show the award outcome only — no bidder count, no second-place number, no tab. That means there's no way to say whether D & S beat out a crowded field or was the only firm that showed up for one or both halves; the record simply doesn't carry that information.
For abatement contractors watching DDC's on-call rosters, this is worth noting regardless of the competition question: D & S now holds both halves of the five-borough split, a combined $3,000,000 in contract capacity for asbestos, lead, and mold work citywide. Any firm hoping to get into DDC's abatement rotation should watch for the next re-bid cycle on these contracts rather than hoping for overflow work this round.
