The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York is soliciting expressions of interest for a domestic hot water system upgrade and asbestos abatement at CUNY Medgar Evers College in Crown Heights, Brooklyn — and this one is restricted to minority- and women-owned business concerns only, per the NYSCR ad.

The listing (CRN 2139069, contract 363180/C1858) is filed as a Request for Information/Request for Comment ad type, due October 15, 2026. It covers the AB1 building's domestic hot water system along with associated asbestos abatement work.

“This is an EOI stage, not a bid opening — respond now to be in the room when pricing starts.”

This is an EOI stage, not a bid opening — DASNY is gathering interest from MWBE-certified firms before the job goes out for pricing. Firms that want in need to respond to the expression of interest by October 15 to be considered when the actual bid package follows.

For MWBE-certified plumbing, mechanical, or abatement contractors working the CUNY system, this is worth flagging now rather than waiting for a bid advertisement — EOI-stage responses often shape who gets invited to the pricing round, especially on a restricted set-aside like this one.
