New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) is seeking qualified firms to construct infrastructure and resiliency improvements at Coney Island Hospital.

Due its location, the hospital is vulnerable to extreme coastal storms and in October 2012, the facility suffered extensive flood damage as a result of Superstorm Sandy. Since then the hospital has temporarily restored the damaged areas and, working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), have developed plans to mitigate damage from future storms and flooding.

NYCEDC, as the lead of an interagency team, is now focused on the Major Work project. The construction of the Coney Island Hospital campus project is currently envisioned to build a new resilient acute care hospital tower to be known as the Critical Services Structure (“CSS”) and to include the following work:

Provide on-site valet parking for 300 cars

Demolition of existing buildings, including Hammett Pavilion, Building 6, and various existing site improvements;

Renovation and selective demolition of 60,000 gross sq. feet including portions of the existing Main Building and Tower Building; and

Build a new permanent flood mitigation structure (s) (e.g. flood wall) around the campus.
