Lanmark Group Inc. is seeking MWBE and WBE subcontractors for the DCAS elevator modernization rebid at 198 East 161st Street in the Bronx, according to a contractor ad posted October 23 in the New York State Contract Reporter. The ad runs under CRN 2140113 with subcontractor and supplier proposals due November 18.
The building, known as CSB 161 St, is a Bronx office and services site; DCAS listed a related elevator modernization rebid on its own solicitation calendar for October 28 under solicitation number 85626B0010 for a separate Concourse Plaza project — a reminder that DCAS is running elevator rebid work across more than one Bronx address this fall. This Lanmark ad is specifically outreach for subcontractors and suppliers, not a bid on the prime contract itself.
“Sub proposals are due November 18 — well ahead of any prime bid date DCAS has posted for this address.”
The ad does not list trade breakdowns, MWBE percentage goals, or a bonding requirement — only the deadline and that it is open to MWBE and WBE firms. Elevator modernization rebids typically split electrical, mechanical, and cab-finish scope, so subs chasing this one should reach out to Lanmark directly rather than wait on a formal RFP posting.
Interested firms should treat November 18 as the hard cutoff for expressing interest, since prime contractors generally need sub-pricing in hand well before their own bid date to assemble a compliant MWBE package.
