FACILITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORY

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (“the NYC Health Department” or “the Agency”) is seeking an experienced facility manager to operate and maintain the New York City Public Health Laboratory Facility (“PHL” or “Facility”), including building structures, operating systems, and laboratory support functions. PHL is a vital part of the New York City public health infrastructure and performs multiple functions through provision of analytic biological and/or chemical testing and testing-related services that protect human populations from infectious diseases, foodborne and waterborne diseases, environmental hazards, and other natural and human-made public health emergencies. The Contractor would oversee the physical aspects of the PHL, including its maintenance, repairs, replacement of buildings materials and equipment, and would ensure the welfare of its occupants. The Contractor would also coordinate and manage the daily activities and operations in the building, such as cleaning, waste disposal, maintenance, and repairs to the facility. The Contractor may also manage building construction projects at the PHL. The contract term is anticipated to be for ten (10) years from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2035, with no renewal options.
