New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) invites firms to submit proposals for the design and implementation of mapping technologies to enable more efficient waterfront inspection.

NYCEDC is engaged in growing the drones and robotics industries in New York City by enabling pilot projects, expanding access to labs and R&D space, connecting startups with public sector challenges, and investing in workforce development. To further support this burgeoning industry – while addressing the core internal need of infrastructure inspection – NYCEDC seeks to award 2+ pilot contracts to enable the collection and analysis of (1) visual 360-degree panoramic imagery of the waterfront; (2) underwater imagery of infrastructure along the shoreline; (3) a tool that enables preventative maintenance through predictive analysis. A successful vendor or vendors from the pilot phase will be eligible for a long-term contract to conduct this collection and analysis at scale.

NYCEDC plans to select a consultant on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: technical capability, experience and past performance, innovation and approach, cost efficiency, and MWBE-commitment.
