C. BNYDC BACKGROUND
The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a mission-driven industrial park that is a nationally acclaimed model of the
viability and positive impact of modern, urban industrial development. The Yard is now home to over
550 businesses, employing more than 11,000 people and generating over $2.5 billion per year in
economic impact for the City of New York. Building on the Yard's history as the economic heart of
Brooklyn, the 300-acre waterfront asset offers a critical pathway to the middle class for many New
Yorkers. BNYDC is the not-for-profit corporation that serves as the real estate developer and property
manager of the Yard on behalf of its owner, the City of New York. BNYDC constantly strives to provide
an environment in which businesses and careers can take root and grow through its management of
over 40 existing buildings built by the U.S. Navy, some of which date from the early 19th and 20th
Brooklyn Navy Yard Building 77
Development Corporation 141 Flushing Ave, Suite 801

centuries. BNYDC’s mission is to fuel New York City’s economic vitality by creating and preserving
quality jobs, growing the City’s modern industrial sector and its businesses, and connecting the local
community with the economic opportunity and resources of the Yard.
D. PROJECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND CONTEXT
The project site consists of approximately 2,200 linear feet of waterfront property on marine
structures surrounding the Barge Basin (the “Basin”) to its north, east, and south within the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. It is primarily composed of existing paved parking areas and roadways. See Figure 1 below
for approximate location of the Basin. See Figure 2 for the approximate limits of the project area
highlighted in red (the “Project Area”).

Figure 2: Approximate limits of the Project Area surrounding the Barge Basin
The Basin was constructed in 1942 and is located at the North end of the Navy Yard. The Basin was
part of a general expansion program for the Navy Yard during World War II. Prior to construction, the
west part of the site was the Wallabout Channel. The east part of the site consisted of a former
roadway named Cross Street, a float slip, a float bridge and a rail yard. The Basin was created through
the construction of a bulkhead and relieving platform across the Wallabout Channel, filling behind the
bulkhead, and removal of material from the rail yard and Cross Street area.
The Basin includes three main relieving platforms: the north, south and east platforms. There are also
2 smaller platforms that run along the northwest and southwest areas of the site. These relieving
platforms are decks intended to transfer loads vertically to the retaining wall. The deck of the east and
south platforms supports a concrete seawall retaining six feet of fill. The north platform supports a
large concrete Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO).
At the edge of the southwest platform (the terminal wharf) is a deteriorating transfer bridge structure.
Adjacent to the southwest platform, two severely damaged structures have been abandoned within
the basin waters. The former railroad float bridge remains in place and to the east of the bridge lays a
submerged floating dry dock resting on the bottom of the basin.

Based on site assessments completed in 2013 and 2024, it was determined that certain parts of the
Project Area have critical defects. The Respondent shall perform their own assessment as part of the
services under this RFP for the rehabilitation design.
The Yard’s Master Plan lays out an ambitious vision for growth well beyond its current expansion. The
master plan represents a potential $2.5 billion investment that would bring the total number of jobs
at the Yard to 30,000. To achieve this growth, the Master Plan comprises the development of 5.1
million square feet of vertical manufacturing space, unlike any in the country, further solidifying the
Yard’s role as a national urban model for sustainable middle-class job creation. At the same time, the
Master Plan outlines a series of open space and connectivity improvements aimed at integrating the
300-acre Yard with its surrounding neighborhoods, while improving operations for its manufacturing
users. The rehabilitation of the Barge Basin site is a critical piece of the Yard’s ambitious Master Plan
allowing for future development.

E. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The marine structures at the Basin must be rehabilitated to establish a robust foundation for a new
future waterfront esplanade that will be adjacent to a future Master Plan building within the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. The selected Respondent will perform all design, engineering, and construction support

F. MINORITY AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PARTICIPATION
The specific requirements of minority-owned business enterprises (“MBEs”) and women-owned
business enterprises (“WBEs”) participation for this Contract are detailed below. Additional provisions
regarding this RFP’s requirements relating to M/WBEs can be found in Exhibit J (Additional M/WBE
Provisions) attached hereto.
Respondents must comply with all applicable MBE and WBE requirements for this Contract.
1) M/WBE PROGRAM. Section 6-129 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York (“Section 6-
129”) establishes the program for participation in City procurement (“M/WBE Program”) by
“MBEs and WBEs, certified in accordance with Section 1304 of the New York City Charter. As
stated in Section 6-129, the intent of the program is to address the impact of discrimination on
the City’s procurement process, and to promote the public interest in avoiding fraud and
favoritism in the procurement process, increasing competition for City business, and lowering
contract costs. BNYDC endorses these goals and has adopted an M/WBE Program to further
participation by MBEs and WBEs for its projects. All Respondents shall comply with all
requirements of BNYDC’s M/WBE Program applicable to this RFP.
2) M/WBE PARTICIPATION GOAL:
Brooklyn Navy Yard Building 77
Development Corporation 141 Flushing Ave, Suite 801
BrooklynNavyYard.org Brooklyn, NY 11205
a) The percentage goal for M/WBE participation (the “Participation Goal”) for the Contract is
eight percent (8%) of the total dollar value of the Contract. The Participation Goal represents
a percentage of the total dollar value of the Contract that may be achieved by awarding
subcontracts to firms certified with DSBS or DMWBD (each as defined below) as MBEs or
WBEs, and/or by crediting the participation of prime contractors and/or qualified joint
ventures as provided in Section F.2.d and Section F.2.e below, unless the goals have been
waived or modified by BNYDC in accordance with Exhibit J, Section A.
b) M/WBE firms must be certified by either (i) the NYC Department of Small Business Services
(“DSBS”), or (ii) Empire State Development’s Division of Minority and Women’s Business
Development (“DMWBD”) to credit such firms’ participation toward attainment of the
Participation Goal. Such certification must occur prior to the firms’ commencement of work.
A list of M/WBE firms may be obtained (i) from the DSBS website at
www.nyc.gov/buycertified, by emailing DSBS at buyer@sbs.nyc.gov, by calling (212) 513-6356,
or by visiting or writing DSBS at 110 William Street, New York, New York, 10038, 7th Floor, and
(ii) from the ESD website at www.ny.newnycontracts.com. Eligible firms that have not yet
been certified may contact DSBS or DMWBD for additional information on how to get
certified. No credit shall be given for participation by a graduate M/WBE, as defined in
Section 6-129(c)(20).
c) The Participation Goal is a material term of the Contract and the selected Respondent shall be
subject to the BNYDC approved Participation Goal, unless the goals have been waived or
modified by BNYDC in accordance with Exhibit J, Section A.
d) An M/WBE Respondent shall be permitted to count its own participation toward fulfillment of
the Participation Goal. The value of an M/WBE Respondent’s participation shall be
determined by subtracting from the total value of the Contract any amounts that the Bidder
will pay to direct Subcontractors. A Respondent hat is certified as both an MBE and a WBE
may count its own participation either toward the goal for MBEs or the goal for WBEs, but not
both. If a Respondent is not an M/WBE, it must meet the Participation Goal through the
awarding of subcontracts to firms certified with DSBS or DMWBD as MBEs or WBEs.
3) A Respondent that is a Qualified Joint Venture (as defined in Section 6-129, and as discussed
further in Section 5) shall be permitted to count a percentage of its own M/WBE participation
toward fulfillment of the Participation Goal. The value of Respondent’s participation shall be
determined by subtracting from the total value of the Contract any amounts that Respondent
pays to direct Subcontractors, and then multiplying the remainder by the percentage to be
applied to total profit to determine the amount to which an MBE or WBE is entitled pursuant to
the joint venture agreement, provided that where a participant in a joint venture is certified as
both an MBE and a WBE, such amount shall be counted either toward the goal for MBEs or the
goal for WBEs, but not both.

delivery, if delivered.
