Aug 22 2024New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”), acting on behalf of the City of New York (the “City”), is pleased to release this request for proposal (“RFP”) seeking proposals from qualified parties (collectively, “Respondents”, and, each a “Respondent”) for the development of an approximately 3.2 acre site (“site AOU-2” or the “Site”) within the Hunts Point Distribution Center (“Hunts Point FDC” or “FDC”) in the Bronx.
Site AOU-2 is a rectangularly-shaped and vacant ~156,830 square feet property bordered by Food Center Drive to the south and Halleck Street to the west. The Site is situated directly adjacent to the south-west entrance of the Hunts Point FDC and approximately 1-mile driving distance from the Bruckner Expressway (I-278).
Through this RFP, NYCEDC is seeking Proposals for the development and operation of Site AOU-2 as a freight-focused electric vehicle (“EV”) and fleet charging facility that maximizes the number of medium- and heavy-duty (“MHD”) vehicles charging on site and a multi-purpose welcome center to serve as the entrance to the FDC and a centralized location for workforce development programming (the “Project”). Respondents may propose a strategy that accommodates light duty charging on the Site to maximize market viability while minimizing impacts to MHD vehicle charging access and activity. Respondents may partner with other entities.
A competitive response to this RFP must accomplish the following goals:
- Develop Freight-Focused EV Charging Facilities on the Site
- Develop Multi-Purpose Welcome Center and Workforce Development Hub
- Address Environmental Justice Concerns, Especially Air Quality
- Reduce Entry Barriers to Electrification for Current FDC Tenants
- Create and Preserve Quality Jobs
