The Department of Design and Construction is accepting bids for a construction management and design-build contract covering petroleum storage tank sumps on a citywide basis. Bids close December 3 at 12:00 PM. The solicitation is listed under PIN 85027P0001, categorized under Construction Related Services.

No specific location within the city, trade subcategory, or estimated dollar value is given in the facts for this particular solicitation.

Here's what the backstory tells a contractor about how DDC runs this program: an earlier round of this same work was broken into requirements contracts covering specific boroughs — Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, and the Bronx — and bidders on that round had to set up accounts in the city's PASSPort procurement portal. On one of those earlier contracts, covering Manhattan and Staten Island, DDC awarded $25,000,000.00 to Gannett Fleming Engineers and Architects, PC through a competitive sealed proposal process. DDC has also said publicly that it expects to issue more solicitations for standalone and on-call petroleum storage tank sump contracts within a rolling 12-month planning window, updated quarterly.

What that pattern means for this bid: DDC runs this program as a repeat, borough-by-borough procurement, not a one-and-done job. A firm that gets into the PASSPort system and builds a track record here is positioning itself for the next round too, since the agency has signaled this pipeline keeps moving on a regular schedule.

If this fits your shop's design-build and construction management capacity, the clock is already running. Get your firm registered and active in PASSPort now if it isn't already — that was a requirement on the prior round of this same work — and have your proposal ready well before bids close at noon on December 3.
