New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) invites qualified Special Inspection Agencies (“Consultants”) to submit proposals to provide On-Call Special Inspections and related services for various NYCEDC projects.

Special Inspections replaced “Controlled Inspections” for all construction projects filed on or after July 1, 2008. Under the New York City Building Code (“NYC Building Code”) and the Rules of the City of New York (“RCNY”), certain materials, operations, and equipment must be inspected or tested to verify compliance with applicable code requirements. Special Inspections may only be performed by Special Inspectors employed by a Department of Buildings (“DOB”)–approved Special Inspection Agency.

All required inspections and tests will be conducted by a Special Inspection Agency retained by NYCEDC. The selected Consultants will be expected to perform Special Inspection services as specified in, and in accordance with, individual Project Assignments issued during the Contract Term. These Project Assignments may involve various NYCEDC construction, renovation, or rehabilitation projects located throughout New York City. NYCEDC anticipates that the required services may include inspections across a range of disciplines as defined by the NYC Building Code and associated DOB requirements.

Through this Request for Proposals (“RFP”), NYCEDC seeks to enter into contracts with one or more qualified and experienced Special Inspection Agencies capable of providing timely, On-Call Special Inspections and related services on an as-needed basis (the “Services”).

NYCEDC plans to select a consultant on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: the quality of the proposal, experience of key staff identified in the proposal, experience and quality of any subcontractors proposed, demonstrated successful experience in performing services similar to those encompassed in the RFP, and the proposed fee.
