Notice is hereby given that the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC), on behalf of the City of New York, is seeking to retain professional services for a Major Investment Study of cross harbor freight movement. This federally and locally funded project (PIN X500.19) will examine freight movement and recommend a preferred alternative that can improve freight movement into, around, and out of the New York City region. This project was previously advertised in the NYS Contract Reporter on September 29, 1997. Based on an analysis of forecasted freight volumes, engineering characteristics and costs, environmental and economic impacts and financial feasibility, the project will recommend a preferred transportation alternative(s) for a future environmental impact assessment. EDC is seeking firms with demonstrated experience in freight movement logistics and modeling, engineering, transportation planning, environmental assessment, economics, finance, knowledge of federal, state, and city environmental review requirements; public participation and management of large-scale infrastructure planning projects and public-private partnerships. Potential firms should have experience in the following professional services, including: managing a public participation program, documenting existing needs and conditions of regional freight movement, conducting a freight market analysis, developing and applying a freight modal diversion model, developing freight movement alternatives, examining engineering requirements, conducting environmental assessments, conducting performance, economic and financial evaluations; and assessing opportunities for public-private partnerships in construction and facility operations. The study is anticipated to start in spring 1998 and take 24 months to complete. The anticipated total work effort of the successful firm is 60,000-80,000 person-hours. Interested firms should submit a one-page Letter of Interest (LOI) to Margaret Temple, Contracts Division, NYCEDC, 110 William Street, NY, NY 10038 by 4 p.m. on Monday, December 15, 1997. All firms responding to this advertisement with a LOI will be issued a RFQ when it becomes available. Firms that submitted a LOI following the September 29, 1997 NYS Contract Reporter advertisement for this project do not need to resubmit a LOI. The RFQ will contain further information on the project, as well as material required to submit a proposal. Responses to the RFQ will be due at 4 p.m. Friday, January 23, 1998. Designated firms must submit proof of authority to practice engineering in New York State immediately upon designation. Subconsultants, subcontracting and/or joint ventures are permitted.
