Central New York Psychiatric Center Building 39 Rehabilitation - Construction Manager-Build Services

The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (“DASNY”) seeks proposals from Construction Managers to provide professional construction management services during the construction phases of the project for the Office of Mental Health (OMH), using a Construction Manager-Build (“CM-Build”) project delivery method. The project is located at Central New York Psychiatric Center Building 39 Renovation located at 9005 Old River Road Marcy, New York (the “Project”).

A CM-Build project delivery method is similar to a Construction Manager-at-Risk project delivery method, in that the Construction Manager is involved during the design phase of the project, procures the construction phase trade contracts, and manages the construction phase of the project. However, in a CM-Build delivery method, a Guaranteed Maximum Price is not provided prior to bidding the trade packages, rather a Maximum Contract Price (“MCP”) is established after the Construction Manager procures the trade packages. The CM-Build Contractor is a Construction Manager who will contract with DASNY to submit an MCP. 

 OMH is in the process of renovating the 6 story, 400,000 square foot Building 39 on the CNYPC Campus.  The first two phases of the project have been recently completed.  The remaining four (4) phases consist of renovating the four (4) patient wings of the building.  Each phase will include abatement of hazardous materials, the replacement of approximately 350 windows, installation of new mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and roofing systems. Program spaces within the scope of renovation include patient/resident services, bedrooms, common spaces, dining facilities and staff spaces. The building will be occupied throughout the entire duration of construction. A phasing plan has been developed to relocate patients and staff to unoccupied wards within Building 39.  Additional information regarding the project scope of work can be found in Section 2.1 of the RFQ.

Interested Proposers should review Section 2.2- Qualification and Certification Requirements of the RFQ to determine eligibility.
