Identification, Inventorying, and Assessment Parks Assets Service

The government authority in New York is seeking a vendor to provide identification, inventorying, and assessment services for park assets. The agency is trying to implement a citywide park needs assessment strategy to identify and target capital investments where the needs are greatest. To solve this problem, the agency requires a complete inventory of assets on Parklands, which must be fully mapped on Geographic Information System (GIS) platforms along with relevant asset data. Regular inspections are necessary to identify the current state of repair of these assets and to determine the potential level of capital need. The scope of work covers the creation of data collection and analysis tools to support asset condition assessment, reporting, and prioritization. The agency is requesting the development of an asset hierarchy defining the relationship between assets, their systems, and their components. Additionally, the selected vendor must develop a standardized protocol for asset inspections, a tiered portfolio system to identify and categorize assets, and relevant data points to record per asset type, such as condition, accessibility, energy efficiency, and usership. The project also requires the identification of efficient technologies to assist in asset inventorying and tracking. The agency is looking for unique and novel uses of technology to efficiently collect initial data or to use as baselines for ease of future inspections, such as collecting and comparing LIDAR data at retaining walls or using unmanned drone flights to identify roof conditions. Eligibility is limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of the requested work will take place offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and no specific key dates or evaluation criteria are provided in the source.
