Consultant Services, Hunts Point Site D eTRU Hub Infrastructure Delivery and Yard Management Services RFP

New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), on behalf of the City of New York, is seeking proposals from qualified respondents for one or both service categories related to an electric transport refrigeration unit (eTRU) shore power hub at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center: (1) Infrastructure Delivery Services, including design, engineering, permitting, construction, installation, energization, and potential decommissioning or repurposing of hub infrastructure; and/or (2) Yard Management Services, including eTRU parking management, trailer coordination, shore power connection tracking, monitoring, reporting, and related site operational support. Respondents may propose for Infrastructure Delivery Services only, Yard Management Services only, or both service categories, provided that proposals for both clearly distinguish the scope, pricing, staffing, responsibilities, and assumptions for each category. NYCEDC seeks proposals that prioritize rapid deployment, operational reliability, verified emissions reductions, incentive eligibility, operational simplicity, cost optimization, and flexibility for future adaptation, while minimizing interference with ongoing market operations and future redevelopment activities.

The proposed hub is intended to support near-term electrification of cold storage operations at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center by providing grid-connected shore power for eTRUs. The hub will be located at Site D, a remediated brownfield site within the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center and will be implemented in a manner that accounts for applicable site constraints, ongoing market operations, and future redevelopment needs.

NYCEDC plans to select one or more consultants on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include where applicable, but are not limited to: completeness and quality of proposal, infrastructure delivery feasibility and readiness, yard management and operational feasibility, commercial structure(s) and cost optimization, schedule and deployment speed, demonstrated successful experience in performing services similar to those encompassed in the RFP, and the proposed fee.
