Description
The New York City Office of Technology & Innovation and Mayor’s Office of Operations issued a Request for Information (RFI) to explore the feasibility of using emergent ground-scanning technologies to develop a comprehensive and accurate understanding of underground infrastructure in New York City. The initiative aims to support the 3D Underground program, which seeks to create a secure 3D data-sharing platform for underground assets such as water pipes, gas lines, electrical conduits, and soil composition. The platform will facilitate secure information sharing among government agencies and utility companies to improve emergency response, capital project planning, and climate adaptation efforts. Responses to this RFI are for information gathering only and may inform future procurement actions.
