Located on the Upper Hudson River 124 nautical miles north of New York Harbor, the Port of Albany-Rensselaer is the
largest inland Port in the Northeast United States. The Port consists of 450 acres on the east and west sides of the Hudson
River across the four municipalities of Albany, Bethlehem, Rensselaer, and East Greenbush.
The Port has dedicated maritime operations on both sides of the Hudson River and connects New York State’s Capital
Region to the world. Primary cargo handled at the Port includes bulk and break bulk, including heavy lift/project cargo,
steel, wood pulp, grain, molasses, scrap iron and petroleum products. We work together with maritime operations, the
Albany Port Railroad and tenants to ensure the efficient, reliable and safe movement of goods. An economic impact study
of the Port of Albany measured the Port’s overall economic impact on New York State at more than $813 million. The
measure of the Port’s significance to the Regional economy in terms of output was more than $428 million.
In 2018, the Port acquired more than 80-acres adjacent to the Port’s southwestern border in the town of Bethlehem, NY for
expansion opportunities, adding 25% to the land area of the Port District.( Beacon Island Site) In 2021, the Port was
selected through NYSERDA’s competitive Round 2 Solicitation to develop the nation’s first offshore wind tower
manufacturing supply chain facility. The site was developed to support this proposed project with more than $170 million
of funding as part of an innovative public-private partnership. However, due to changed economic and supply chain
conditions, considerations are being made toward alternative projects. Today, the fully graded and fully permitted (i.e.,
local, state, and federal permits in-hand) project, stands as a key opportunity to advance state and federal business
investment, domestic manufacturing, and new and additional maritime commerce.
The Port of Albany-Rensselaer (APDC) has secured funds from the Empire State Development Fast NY Infrastructure
Improvement Grant that will allow the Port to complete utility infrastructure work including the installation of a high-voltage
substation, a sanitary wastewater treatment plant and the intake lines and pump station package for fire protection system.
Additionally, this funding will assist with obtaining geotechnical data for future wharf construction. This infrastructure
improvement project will bring the Beacon Island site to a completed “shovel ready” condition for various potential uses.

This request for proposals is for two separate project scopes with a potential added alternate as further described below,
and as indicated in the RFP. Qualified vendors are encouraged to bid on each project scope separately, or both as a
