The City of New York Department of Parks & Recreation is seeking competitive sealed‑bid proposals to reconstruct the seawall along the East River Esplanade between East 36th and East 38th Streets (FDR Drive, Manhattan).

Bidders must comply with NYC prevailing‑wage schedules, ESSTA safe‑sick‑leave provisions, Mayor’s Executive Order 39 vehicle‑safety requirements, and a 30 % community‑hiring labor‑hour goal; all coordination with DOT must occur at least one month before mobilization, and work is restricted to non‑peak ferry hours (no work 6 am‑10 am or 3 pm‑7 pm, optional night shift only with written approval).
