The maximum dollar value of each contract shall be $750,000 for the base year and each one-year option period, with the total contract amount over five years not to exceed $3,750,000. The anticipated estimated construction contract amount (ECCA) of these projects could vary from $10,000 to $5,000,000, depending on specific design limitations. Firms located in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Binghamton, as well as all other areas in upstate New York, are encouraged to respond.
