Developer or Real Estate Entity Services

The Albany County Probation Department in Albany, New York, is seeking developer or real estate entity services to secure a facility that accommodates all probation operations. The agency is trying to solve its facility needs by either renovating an existing structure or initiating new construction. The selected property must feature adequate parking on-site or nearby for employees, municipally owned vehicles, equipment, and the general public. The scope of work covers comprehensive space planning and development to deliver office space for department staff, meeting rooms, interview stalls, and specialized bathrooms for urinalysis. The facility design must incorporate separate entrances for adult and youth clients to maintain operational distinction. Crucially, the layout must provide complete physical separation between probation staff and probationers to ensure maximum safety. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The selected developer must perform all work onsite at the designated location in Albany, New York. Bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal, and the agency is currently looking for proposal submissions to establish the project budget. The agency will host a pre-bid meeting on June 11, 2026, to address questions regarding the development requirements. The contract period for the selected developer or real estate entity will span two years. Evaluation of proposals will depend on the developer's ability to meet the specified spatial, safety, and parking requirements.
