New York City is seeking qualifications from a construction manager for a phased renovation of the Queens Museum.
- **Government buyer:** New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC), for the Department of Cultural Affairs and Queens Museum.
- **Procurement:** One CM-Build contract for the approximately 132,000-square-foot Queens Museum renovation, project PV291-QM2; estimated value is approximately $62.9 million.
- **Scope:** Renovate interior, exterior, and site areas, including museum-wide HVAC and Building Management System upgrades, educational spaces, a secure climate-controlled art vault, accessible restrooms and paths of travel, waterproofing, historic stair restoration, envelope and interior work, and visitor and technology upgrades.
