LICH bidder Trindade files a protest with state Comptroller
Claims SUNY changed language in RFP
Another protest has been raised about SUNY’s sale of Long Island College Hospital (LICH) to developer Fortis Property Group.
Trindade Value Partners, one of nine groups in the final RFP round for the Cobble Hill hospital campus, is appealing SUNY’s June 16 rejection of its protest lodged in April.
Trindade’s $210 million bid to build a full-service hospital, though ranked high by a technical panel, was downgraded by SUNY’s separate financial panel, leaving it ranked sixth overall. In May, Trindade added $90 million to its bid.
