In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, New York City issued a rapid-response RFI for emergency repairs to storm victims' homes that was focused on getting power, heat and hot water working safely. The RFI had a four-day turnaround with selections made on the due date. The day after selection, this general contractor had 200 management staff and field laborers deployed to areas needing assistance in the Rockaways, Howard Beach and other adjacent shore communities.
