Five city contract awards in the latest filings add up to $9,914,019. The two biggest are on Staten Island and in Flushing, Queens: $4.1 million to clean two underground drinking water tanks and $4 million to rebuild a baseball field and a soccer field.
The rest is smaller, and in a couple of cases less competitive. Biggest first.
$4.1M: Silver Lake tanks, Staten Island
The Department of Environmental Protection awarded DiFazio Industries LLC $4,100,000 through competitive sealed bids for contract SLT-26, “Cleaning and Repairs of Two Silver Lake Tanks.”
The job covers sediment removal, cleaning, waste disposal, disinfection and a new waterproofing membrane for two underground drinking water storage tanks on Staten Island. Yes, someone has to scrub the inside of the water supply.
$4M: Flushing ball fields, Queens
NYC Parks awarded William A Gross Construction Associates Inc. $4,000,000 to reconstruct Flushing Baseball Field 15 and Soccer Field 16 (contract Q086-223M).
The method was competitive sealed bids from a pre-qualified list, meaning only pre-approved contractors could bid.
$989,808: Probation’s PEAK program, extended
The Department of Probation is extending its contract with the Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES) for one year by negotiated acquisition, not an open bid.
PEAK is an education-focused alternative-to-placement program for youth in the juvenile justice system. The notice says the extension avoids disrupting “critical & mandated services” and that a new RFP “is anticipated to be released Early 2025.” That date is, notably, already behind us.
$440,751: DYCD staff-building help
The Department of Youth and Community Development renewed L White Consulting LLC at $440,751. The vendor trains organizations on moving from volunteers to paid staff: hiring, retention, payroll, employee relations and career pathways.
$383,460: DOT parking permit analyst, no bid
The Department of Transportation hired Rangam Consultants Inc for an “Analyst for Parking Permits” at $383,460 through an M/WBE noncompetitive small purchase. That is a no-bid award.
What the notices do not say
No contract terms or start dates for the tank and field work, no count of bidders, and no detail on which parking permits the DOT analyst will handle.
