Andrea Herald, Manager Procurement Department RFP 4805 ADDENDUM 1
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. Please send via email a bidders/planholders list for this project, and can you please confirm if the bid date remains the same. Please include recent addenda with the planholders list so we can ensure our members are up to date on your project.
ANSWER: A list of suppliers is attached that received notification of the RFP solicitation. The RFP due date and time remain the same. A copy of the addendum is attached to the original RFP document. You can download the RFP and addendum from the NTA website at http://bids.nfta.com.
2. The part number mentioned in Section 5 (General Requirements) states Allison ESS, Part# 299557378 or approved equal. I believe that to be a typo in the document as the Allison part number for ESS is 29557378. Is it acceptable to proceed onward and submit with the actual part number (the actual part number will be accepted as an approved equal to what was requested) or will this require the authority to re-solicit? ANSWER: The correct part number is Allison ESS3 CertPlus, Part # 29557576 or approved equal.
3. I also wanted you to let you know it appears NFTA is requesting a different P/N than what you have traditionally purchased. The last contract was for ESS3 PN: 29557576 CertPlus while solicitation# 4805 seems to be for PN: 29557378. Just so you are aware, Allison has balanced the line, so we can provide both items at identical cost. Not sure if CertPlus helps achieve additional Authority objectives
ANSWER: The correct part number is Allison ESS3 CertPlus, Part # 29557576 or approved equal. A replacement battery must be verified as to not affect the emissions from the vehicles diesel engine.

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
This Request for Proposal ("RFP") invites proposals for ELECTRICAL STORAGE SYSTEMS (ESS) as set forth herein. These services may be modified during contract negotiations between the Proponent and the NFTA.
The Proponent is encouraged to use its previous knowledge and experience to develop a proposal to meet the NFTA’s needs and a time schedule for completion within the constraints set forth in the project description and technical requirements.
This RFP does not commit the NFTA to negotiate a contract, nor does it obligate the NFTA to pay for any costs incurred in preparation and submission of proposals or costs incurred prior to entering into a formal agreement.
Proposals will be accepted until 11:00 a.m. local time, AUGUST 13, 2018 at the Office of the Manager, Procurement, Fifth Floor, Metropolitan Transportation Center, 181 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, New York 14203. Proposals should be submitted in an opaque, sealed envelope. Proposals received after the date and time specified above shall be considered late proposals and, therefore, shall not be opened nor considered for award. The RFP number must be referenced on all submittals and correspondence.
2. PROPONENT QUALIFICATIONS
To be considered qualified, the Proponent must demonstrate in its proposal that it has the background, experience, and the technical and management resources required to organize and conduct the services outlined in this RFP. The Proponent shall furnish information documenting its ability to provide and perform all work related to its implementation and ongoing effectiveness of the project, in a timetable acceptable by the NFTA. The NFTA reserves the right to investigate the qualifications of firms under consideration to confirm any part of the information furnished by the Proponent. Anything less than satisfactory performance on a prior NFTA contract may lead to the NFTA concluding that the Proponent is not qualified.
2.1 Joint Venture: Proposals submitted by a joint venture shall not be considered unless the contractual responsibilities of the parties to the joint venture are clearly and specifically identified.
2.2 Validity Period: The proposal shall be considered valid for the period of time it takes to negotiate a contract with the successful Proponent. This may involve a period of up to 90 days following submittal. If a proposal is not valid for this time period, notification of the valid time period must be made in the letter of transmittal.
2.3 Disclosure of Proposal Data: Access to the NFTA’s records is governed by Article 6 of the Public Officers Law of the State of New York (“Freedom of Information Law”). Except as otherwise required by the Freedom of Information Law, the NFTA will exempt from disclosure records submitted in the proposal which are trade secrets or are maintained for the regulation of commercial enterprise which if disclosed would cause substantial injury to the competitive
8
position of the subject enterprise. Any such records that an Offeror believes should be exempted from disclosure shall be specifically identified and marked as such. Blanket-type identification by designating whole pages or sections as records exempt from disclosure will not assure confidentiality. The specific records must be clearly identified and an explanation submitted as to why they should be exempt. Proposal Forms shall not be designated to be proprietary. The NFTA will disregard any proprietary markings on any Proposal Form.
NFTA will not be liable for disclosure of information not marked consistent with the instructions above.
Upon a request for records from a third party regarding any records submitted with this proposal for which an exemption was sought the NFTA will notify in writing the party involved. The party involved must respond within 10 (ten) business days with a written statement of the necessity for the continuation of such exemption.
2.4 Agreement: The Proponent awarded the contract will be required to execute an Agreement in a form acceptable to the Authority.

The RFP covers this material as comprehensively and completely as it can at this time and thus contains all representations of the NFTA with respect to this matter. Any information or understandings, verbal or written, which are not contained within this RFP, or in later written addenda to this RFP, if issued, will be excluded from consideration in evaluating proposals.
Any questions, objections or requests for revisions which Proponents may have should be submitted in writing to Cindy Judd via e-mail and received no later than July 31, 2018. If questions submitted to the NFTA make issuance of addenda to this RFP necessary, such addenda will be distributed to all prospective Proponents.

1. Executory Clause In accordance with Section 41 of the State Finance Law, the State shall have no liability under this contract to the Contractor or to anyone else beyond funds appropriated and available for this contract.
2. Permits and Compliance with Laws The NFTA, in the construction, installation and operation of transportation facilities, is not required to obtain licenses or permits from any municipal or political subdivision of the State of New York. The Contractor, therefore, will not be required to obtain licenses or permits from any county, city, town or village agency or department. The Contractor shall, however, secure and pay for all permits, fees and licenses necessary to comply with applicable federal or state laws. Except as provided above, the Contractor shall comply with all federal, state, county and municipal laws, codes and regulations in connection with the prosecution of the work. The Contractor shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless the NFTA and all of their officers, agents and employees against any and all claims and liabilities arising from or based on the violation of any such requirement or law whether by the Contractor, its employees, agents or subcontractors.
3. Non-Assignment In accordance with Section 138 of the State Finance Law, this contract may not be assigned by the Contractor or its right, title or interest therein assigned, transferred, conveyed, sublet or otherwise disposed of without the State’s previous written consent, and attempts to do so are null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such prior written consent of an assignment of a contract let pursuant to Article XI of the State Finance Law may be waived at the discretion of the contracting agency and with the concurrence of the State Comptroller where the original contract was subject to the State Comptroller’s approval, where the assignment is due to a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Contractor’s business entity or enterprise. The State retains its right to approve an assignment and to require that any Contractor demonstrate its responsibility to do business with the State. The Contractor may, however, assign its right to receive payments without the State’s prior written consent unless this contract concerns Certificates of Participation pursuant to Article 5-A of the State Finance Law.
4. Worker’s Compensation In accordance with Section 142 of the State Finance Law, this contract shall be void and of no force and effect unless the Contractor shall provide and maintain coverage during the life of this contract for the benefit of such employees as are required to be covered by the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Law.
5. Non-Discrimination Requirements
11
To the extent required by Article 15 of the Executive Law (also known as the Human Rights Law) and all other State and Federal statutory and constitutional non- discrimination provisions, the Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, genetic predisposition or carrier status, or marital status. Furthermore, in accordance with Section 220-e of the Labor Law, if this is a contract for the construction, alteration or repair of any public building or public work or for the manufacture, sale or distribution of materials, equipment or supplies, and to the extent that this contract shall be performed within the State of New York, Contractor agrees that neither it nor its subcontractors shall, by reason of race, creed, color, disability, sex, or national origin: (a) discriminate in hiring against any New York State citizen who is qualified and available to perform the work; or (b) discriminate against or intimidate any employee hired for the performance of work under this contract. If this is a building service contract as defined in Section 230 of the Labor Law, then, in accordance with Section 239 thereof, Contractor agrees that neither it nor its subcontractors shall by reason of race, creed, color, national origin, age, sex or disability: (a) discriminate in hiring against any New York State citizen who is qualified and available to perform the work; or (b) discriminate against or intimidate any employee hired for the performance of work under this contract. Contractor is subject to fines of $50.00 per person per day for any violation of Section 220-e or Section 239 as well as possible termination of this contract and forfeiture of all moneys due hereunder for a second or subsequent violation.
6. Wage and Hours Provisions If this is a public work contract covered by Article 8 of the Labor Law or a building service contract covered by Article 9 thereof, neither Contractor's employees nor the employees of its subcontractors may be required or permitted to work more than the number of hours or days stated in said statutes, except as otherwise provided in the Labor Law and as set forth in prevailing wage and supplement schedules issued by the State Labor Department. Furthermore, Contractor and its subcontractors must pay at least the prevailing wage rate and pay or provide the prevailing supplements, including the premium rates for overtime pay, as determined by the State Labor Department in accordance with the Labor Law. Additionally, effective April 28, 2008, if this is a public work contract covered by Article 8 of the Labor Law, the Contractor understands and agrees that the filing of payrolls in a manner consistent with Subdivision 3-a of Section 220 of the Labor Law shall be a condition precedent to payment by the State of any State approved sums due and owing for work done upon the project.
7. Non-Collusion Bidding Certification In accordance with Section 139-d of the State Finance Law, if this contract was awarded based upon the submission of bids, Contractor affirms, under penalty of perjury, that its bid was arrived at independently and without collusion aimed at restricting competition. Contractor further affirms that, at the time Contractor submitted its bid, an authorized and responsible person executed and delivered to the State a non-collusive bidding certification on Contractor's behalf.
8. International Boycott Prohibition In accordance with Section 220-f of the Labor Law and Section 139-h of the State Finance Law, if this contract exceeds $5,000, the Contractor agrees, as a material condition of the contract, that neither the Contractor nor any substantially owned or affiliated person, firm, partnership or corporation has participated, is participating, or shall participate in an
12 international boycott in violation of the federal Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 USC App. Sections 2401 et seq.) or regulations thereunder. If such Contractor, or any of the aforesaid affiliates of Contractor, is convicted or is otherwise found to have violated said laws or regulations upon the final determination of the United States Commerce Department or any other appropriate agency of the United States subsequent to the contract's execution, such contract, amendment or modification thereto shall be rendered forfeit and void. The Contractor shall so notify the State Comptroller within five (5) business days of such conviction, determination or disposition of appeal (2NYCRR 105.4).
9. Set-Off Rights The State shall have all of its common law, equitable and statutory rights of set-off. These rights shall include, but not be limited to, the State's option to withhold for the purposes of set-off any moneys due to the Contractor under this contract up to any amounts due and owing to the State with regard to this contract, any other contract with any State department or agency, including any contract for a term commencing prior to the term of this contract, plus any amounts due and owing to the State for any other reason including, without limitation, tax delinquencies, fee delinquencies or monetary penalties relative thereto. The State shall exercise its set-off rights in accordance with normal State practices including, in cases of set-off pursuant to an audit, the finalization of such audit by the State agency, its representatives, or the State Comptroller.
10. Records The Contractor shall establish and maintain complete and accurate books, records, documents, accounts and other evidence directly pertinent to performance under this contract (hereinafter, collectively, "the Records"). The Records must be kept for the balance of the calendar year in which they were made and for six (6) additional years thereafter. The State Comptroller, the Attorney General and any other person or entity authorized to conduct an examination, as well as the agency or agencies involved in this contract, shall have access to the Records during normal business hours at an office of the Contractor within the State of New York or, if no such office is available, at a mutually agreeable and reasonable venue within the State, for the term specified above for the purposes of inspection, auditing and copying. The State shall take reasonable steps to protect from public disclosure any of the Records which are exempt from disclosure under Section 87 of the Public Officers Law (the "Statute") provided that: (i) the Contractor shall timely inform an appropriate State official, in writing, that said records should not be disclosed; and (ii) said records shall be sufficiently identified; and (iii) designation of said records as exempt under the Statute is reasonable. Nothing contained herein shall diminish, or in any way adversely affect, the State's right to discovery in any pending or future litigation.
11. Identifying Information and Privacy Notification (a) Identification Number(s). Every invoice or New York State Claim for Payment submitted to a New York State agency by a payee, for payment for the sale of goods or services or for transactions (e.g., leases, easements, licenses, etc.) related to real or personal property must include the payee's identification number. The number is any or all of the following: (i) the payee’s Federal employer identification number, (ii) the payee’s Federal social security number, and/or (iii) the payee’s Vendor Identification Number assigned by the Statewide Financial System. Failure to include such number or numbers may delay payment. Where the payee does not have such number or numbers, the
13 payee, on its invoice or Claim for Payment, must give the reason or reasons why the payee does not have such number or numbers. (b) Privacy Notification. (1) The authority to request the above personal information from a seller of goods or services or a lessor of real or personal property, and the authority to maintain such information, is found in Section 5 of the State Tax Law. Disclosure of this information by the seller or lessor to the State is mandatory. The principal purpose for which the information is collected is to enable the State to identify individuals, businesses and others who have been delinquent in filing tax returns or may have understated their tax liabilities and to generally identify persons affected by the taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance. The information will be used for tax administration purposes and for any other purpose authorized by law. (2) The personal information is requested by the purchasing unit of the agency contracting to purchase the goods or services or lease the real or personal property covered by this contract or lease. The information is maintained in the Statewide Financial System by the Vendor Management Unit within the Bureau of State Expenditures, Office of the State Comptroller, 110 State Street, Albany, New York 12236.
THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENT IS APPLICABLE TO PROCUREMENTS WITH A TOTAL EXPENDITURE IN EXCESS OF (I) $25,000 FOR LABOR, SERVICES EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY, OR ANY COMBINATION OF THE FOREGOING AND (II) $100,000 FOR PROPERTY RENOVATION OR CONSTRUCTION.
12. Participation by Minority Group Members and Women with Respect to State Contracts: Requirements and Procedures
I. General Provisions
A. NFTA, as applicable, is required to implement the provisions of New York State Executive Law Article 15-A and 5 NYCRR Parts 140-145 (“MWBE Regulations”) inclusive of MWBE goals (see below) for all State contracts, as defined therein, with a value in excess of (1) $25,000 for labor, services, equipment, materials, or any combination of the foregoing and (2) $100,000 for real property renovations and construction.
B. The contractor to the subject contract (the “Contractor” and the “Contract,” respectively) agrees, in addition to any other nondiscrimination provision of the Contract and at no additional cost to the NFTA, to fully comply and cooperate with the NFTA in the implementation of New York State Executive Law Article 15-A. These requirements include equal employment opportunities for minority group members and women (“EEO”) and contracting opportunities for certified minority and women-owned business enterprises (“MWBEs”). The Contractor’s demonstration of “good faith efforts” pursuant to 5 NYCRR § 142.8 shall be a part of these requirements. These provisions shall be deemed supplementary to, and not in lieu of, the nondiscrimination provisions required by New York State Executive Law Article 15 (the “Human Rights Law”) or other applicable federal, state or local laws.
14
C. Failure to comply with all of the requirements herein may result in a finding of non- responsiveness, non-responsibility and/or a breach of contract, leading to the withholding of funds or such other actions, liquidated damages pursuant to Section VII of this Appendix or enforcement proceedings as allowed by the Contract.
II. Contract Goals
A. In general, the NFTA hereby established an overall goal of 30% for MWBE participation; 15% for New York State certified minority-owned business enterprises (“MBE”) and 15% for New York State certified women-owned business enterprises (“WBE”) participation (collectively, “MWBE Contract Goals”) based on the current availability of qualified MBEs and WBEs.
There are no specific goals for this procurement.
B. For purposes of providing meaningful participation by MWBEs on the Contract and achieving the MWBE Contract Goals established in Section II-A hereof, the Contractor should reference the directory of New York State Certified MBWEs found at the following internet address: https://ny.newnycontracts.com.
Additionally, the Contractor is encouraged to contact the Division of Minority and Woman Business Development ((518) 292-5250; (212) 803-2414; or (716) 846- 8200) to discuss additional methods of maximizing participation by MWBEs on the Contract.
C. Where MWBE Contract Goals have been established herein, pursuant to 5 NYCRR § 142.8, the Contractor must document “good faith efforts” to provide meaningful participation by MWBEs as subcontractors or suppliers in the performance of the Contract. In accordance with Section 316-a of Article 15-A and 5 NYCRR § 142.13, the Contractor acknowledges that if it is found to have willfully and intentionally failed to comply with the MWBE participation goals set forth in the Contract, such a finding constitutes a breach of contract and the Contractor shall be liable to the NFTA for liquidated or other appropriate damages, as set forth herein.
III. Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
A. The Contractor agrees to be bound by the provisions of Article 15-A and the MWBE Regulations promulgated thereunder by the Division of Minority and Women's Business Development of the New York State Department of Economic Development (the “Division”). If any of these terms or provisions conflict with applicable law or regulations, such laws and regulations shall supersede these requirements.
B. The Contractor shall comply with the following provisions of Article 15-A:

Upon the occurrence of such a material breach, NFTA shall be entitled to any remedy provided herein, including but not limited to, a finding of the Contractor non-responsiveness.
V. Waivers
A. For Waiver Requests, the Contractor should use the NYSCS, provided, however, that Bidder may arrange to provide such evidence via a non-electronic method to NFTA.

18
B. Such liquidated damages shall be calculated as an amount equaling the difference between: 1. All sums identified for payment to MWBEs had the Contractor achieved the contractual MWBE goals; and 2. All sums actually paid to MWBEs for work performed or materials supplied under the Contract.
C. In the event a determination has been made which requires the payment of liquidated damages and such identified sums have not been withheld by the NFTA, the Contractor shall pay such liquidated damages to the NFTA within sixty (60) days after they are assessed by the NFTA unless prior to the expiration of such sixtieth day, the Contractor has filed a complaint with the Director of the Division of Minority and Woman Business Development pursuant to Subdivision 8 of Section 313 of the Executive Law in which event the liquidated damages shall be payable if Director renders a decision in favor of the NFTA.

13. Participation Opportunities for New York State Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses:
Article 17-B of the New York State Executive Law provides for more meaningful participation in public procurement by certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (“SDVOBs”), thereby further integrating such businesses into New York State’s economy. The NFTA recognizes the need to promote the employment of service- disabled veterans and to ensure that certified service-disabled veteran-owned businesses have opportunities for maximum feasible participation in the performance of the NFTA contracts.
In recognition of the service and sacrifices made by service-disabled veterans and in recognition of their economic activity in doing business in New York State, Bidders/Contractors are strongly encouraged and expected to consider SDVOBs in the fulfillment of the requirements of the Contract. Such participation may be as subcontractors or suppliers, as protégés, or in other partnering or supporting roles. For purposes of this procurement, the NFTA conducted a comprehensive search and determined that the Contract does not offer sufficient opportunities to set specific goals for participation by SDVOBs as subcontractors, service providers, and suppliers to Contractor. Nevertheless, Bidder/Contractor is encouraged to make good faith efforts to promote and assist in the participation of SDVOBs on the Contract for the provision of services and materials. The directory of New York State Certified SDVOBs can be viewed at: https://ogs.ny.gov/veterans/ .
19
Bidder/Contractor is encouraged to contact the Office of General Services’ Division of Service-Disabled Veteran’s Business Development at 518-474-2015 or [email protected] to discuss methods of maximizing participation by SDVOBs on the Contract.
THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENT IS APPLICABLE TO PROCUREMENTS WITH A TOTAL EXPENDITURE IN EXCESS OF (I) $25,000 FOR LABOR, SERVICES, EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS, TECHNOLOGY OR ANY COMBINATION OF THE FOREGOING AND (II) $100,000 FOR REAL PROPERTY RENOVATION OR CONSTRUCTION.
14. NYS Executive Order No. 162 – Ensuring Pay Equity by State Contractors and Subs
During the term of the underlying contract with a value in excess of (1) $25,000 for labor, services, equipment, materials, technology or any combination of the foregoing and (2) $100,000 for real property renovation and construction, the Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with New York State Executive Order (EO) No. 162 (2017), a copy of which can be found on the Internet at https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/no- 162-ensuring-pay-equity-state-contractors.
EO No. 162 requires all contractors and subcontractors to provide detailed workforce utilization reports to include, in addition to the equal employment opportunity information, as is currently required to be included in such reports, the (i) job title and (ii) gross wages of each New York State employee of Contractor and subcontractor, as applicable, performing work on a New York State contract, or, alternatively, of each New York State employee in the contractor’s entire workforce if the Contractor or subcontractor cannot identify the individuals working directly on such contract. The requirements of EO No. 162 are mandatory and cannot be waived for any contractor or subcontractor.
Workforce Utilization Reports. As required by EO No. 162, Contractor shall prepare detailed workforce utilization reports (Reports) that reflect the job title and gross wages of each of Contractor’s New York State employees who perform work in connection with the underlying contract, or, if Contractor cannot identify the individuals assigned to perform work in connection with the underlying contract, Contractor’s detailed workforce utilization reports shall reflect (i) the job title (reference the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) for each, which can be located on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website at https://www.bls.gov/soc/) and (ii) gross wages for each New York State employee in Contractor’s entire workforce. Contractor shall require all of its subcontractors, if any, performing work in connection with the underlying contract to comply with the requirements contained in this Section 14 and such requirement must be contained in the agreement between Contractor and its subcontractor.
Note: Reports do not require Contractor or any subcontractor to identify any individual employee by name, number, or other identifier specific to any particular individual.
For purposes of this Section 14, (i) “Contractor” shall not include any contractor with employees who exclusively perform work on a state contract outside of New York State; any banking or financial institution engaged solely in processing financial transactions;
20
any recipient of a grant; any contractor engaged solely in licensing intellectual property to a state agency or authority; primary and secondary school systems, and institutions of higher learning; American Indian or Alaskan Native tribes; any agency of the Federal Government of the United States of America; any corporation owned by the Federal Government of the United States of America; and any contractor organized in a country other than the United States of America, (ii) “subcontractor” shall not include any entity providing exclusively goods and transportation directly to, or on behalf of, the prime contractor in connection with the underlying contract and (iii) “underlying contract” shall not include contracts for staffing or other personnel of the NFTA, debt service, travel reimbursements, utilities, OGS chargebacks, postage, the purchase of telephones, staff benefits, operating transfers, certain rentals and repairs (such as OGS space chargebacks and real estate rentals), and special departmental charges (such as unemployment insurance and tuition reimbursement).
New York Employees’ Gross Wages. For individual New York State employees compensated at an hourly rate, the Contractor shall report the product of such employees’ hourly wage multiplied by the number of hours worked by such employee on the state contract during the period covered by the Report. For salaried New York State employees not compensated on an hourly basis, the Contractor shall first determine the average hourly gross wages of such employees by dividing such employees’ gross wages by the estimated number of hours worked on the underlying contract by such employees during the period covered by the Report. After determining the average hourly gross wages of such salaried employees, Contractor shall report the product of such employees’ average hourly wage and the number of hours worked on the underlying contract during the period covered by the Report.
Contractor and each subcontractor shall report gross wages of New York State employees by (i) gender, (ii) racial or ethnic group and (iii) job title. For example, if Contractor employs two Hispanic-American men as electricians and one Caucasian woman as an insulation worker on the underlying contract, Contractor should report the combined gross wages of the two Hispanic-American men employed in the same job title as one entry on the workforce utilization report. Contractor should report the gross wages of the Caucasian woman as one entry on the workforce utilization report as she is the only Caucasian woman employed by the contractor on the state contract under the title of insulation worker.
When the workforce utilized in connection with the performance of the underlying contract can be separated out from Contractor’s and/or subcontractor’s total workforce, Contractor and/or subcontractor shall submit a Report of the New York employee workforce utilized on the underlying contract. When the workforce to be utilized on the underlying contract cannot be separated out from Contractor’s and/or subcontractor’s total workforce, information on Contractor’s and/or subcontractor’s total New York employee workforce should be included in the Report.
Reporting Interval: Type and Value of Contract. Contractor shall electronically deliver Reports, and collect and electronically deliver its subcontractors’ Reports, to the NFTA on a quarterly basis, not later than ten (10) calendar days following the last day of each quarter, if the underlying contract has a contract value in excess of $25,000.00; provided, however, if the underlying contract is a construction contract that has value in excess of $100,000.00, the Report shall be electronically delivered to the NFTA on a monthly basis
21
(but gross wages only may be reported quarterly), not later than ten (10) calendar days following the last day of each month, in each case, throughout the term of the underlying contract. All Reports shall be submitted via email to [email protected] using the Report form found at https://esd.ny.gov/doing-business-ny/mwbe/mwbe-executive-order- 162. NFTA reserves the right to require Contractor to combine, in a single Report, its subcontractors’ workforce utilization with its own. All payments required to be made by NFTA pursuant to the underlying contract will be contingent upon receipt of all required reporting. Contractor must compile all relevant gross wage information for the period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending March 31, 2018 in order to provide the requisite information for the first quarter report. No Report shall be due prior to January 10, 2018. This reporting obligation does not relieve Contractor or any subcontractor of its responsibility to submit certified payrolls, as and when required, or MWBE information.
Disclosure. The NFTA will notify Contractor and subcontractors, as applicable, of any Freedom of Information Law request it receives for any Report and will only provide disclosure consistent with Public Officers Law Section § 87(2).
All EO No. 162 reporting forms, instructions and frequently asked questions and answers are available on the Empire State Development website at: https://esd.ny.gov/doing-business-ny/mwbe/mwbe-executive-order-162.

Qualifica- tion for an exemption under this law will be the responsibility of the contractor to establish to meet with the approval of the State. In addition, when any portion of this contract involving the use of woods, whether supply or installation, is to be performed by any subcontractor, the prime Contractor will indicate and certify in the submitted bid proposal that the subcontractor has been informed and is in compliance with specifications and provisions regarding use of tropical hardwoods as detailed in §165 State Finance Law. Any such use must meet with the approval of the State; otherwise, the bid may not be considered responsive.

Violations of the policy regarding permissible contacts must be reported to the NFTA/Metro Ethics Officer and investigated accordingly. The first violation may result in a determination of non-responsibility and ineligibility for award to the violator and its subsidiaries, affiliates and related entities. The penalty for a second violation within four (4) years is ineligibility for bidding/proposing on a procurement and/or ineligibility from being awarded any contract for a period of four (4) years. The NFTA/Metro will notify the New York State Office of General Services (“OGS”) of any determinations of non-responsibility or debarments due to violations of the Lobbying Law. Violations found to be “knowing and willful” must be reported to the NFTA/Metro Executive Director and OGS.
Moreover, the statutes require the NFTA/Metro to obtain certain affirmations and certifications from bidders and proposers. This Disclosure Statement contains the forms with which to comply, together with additional information and instructions. ______
Instructions
New York State Finance Law δ139-k(2) obligates the NFTA/Metro to obtain specific information regarding prior non-responsibility determinations. In accordance with New York State Finance Law δ139-k, an offerer must be asked to disclose whether there has been a finding of non- responsibility made within the previous four (4) years by any governmental entity due to: (a) a violation of New York State Finance Law δ139-j or (b) the intentional provision of false or incomplete information to a governmental entity.
As part of its responsibility determination, New York State Finance Law δ139-k (3) mandates consideration of whether an offerer fails to timely disclose accurate or complete information regarding the above non-responsibility determination. In accordance with law, no procurement contract shall be awarded to any offerer that fails to timely disclose accurate or complete information under this section, unless the factual elements of the limited waiver provision can be satisfied on the written record.
