2. Can you please clarify NYCT's intent for [Capital Spare items 10, 11 & 12]?

NYC Transit would like to obtain these three Capital Spares in order to accelerate its ability to make structural repairs to buses which incur severe structural damage after Acceptance. For the purposes of the initial B40666 Proposal, NYC Transit revised Class D Item #s 10, 11 and 12 to read "INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK" (see attached revised Attachment B); the corresponding Capital Spare items in Attachment N have been updated to reflect these changes.

Please note, NYC Transit expects each Proposer to be prepared to have detailed discussions during Oral Presentations on how it can help facilitate the rapid repair of structural damage to our buses whether it be through the provision of capital spares, structural repair kits or some other method.

3. For item #4 (DPF) and #5 (SCR), on a hybrid bus DPF and SCR is supplied, as a one component known as "After Treatment System", by Cummins. Please confirm if[ ... ] can provide only one price under Item #4 and "no bid" item #5.

Understood. Class D Item #s 4 and 5 have been revised. Item# 4 now reads "After Treatment System" and Item #5 now reads "INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK" (see attached); the corresponding Capital Spare items in Attachment N have been updated to reflect these changes.

4. In response to question #8 in addendum #2, Can you please provide original copy of MWBE intent to perform form 15A.4

Correction, Form lSA.4 is not required for this Contract as No Goals have been assigned. Please note that Attachment B-4-New York State Content Intent to Perform Template must be completed by all proposed New York State Content suppliers and submitted on the supplier's letterhead.

754030 Page 3 of 8 B40666 Addendum #2 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses

3. Item 2.3 in the technical specifications indicates the need for three roof ventilators, I guess it needs to be revisited since it is more than likely related to a 60ft bus request. No?

Per FMVSS 217, only one ventilator is required on a 40-foot bus. Please see the item 2.3 in the updated Technical Specification version 1.1.

4. Please clarify if an Electric HVAC (Compressor & Fans), Electric Steering Pump, and Electric Air Compressor are required as the specification conflicts. Sections 9.1, 11.7, and 14.1 all indicate traditional/standard HVAC, Steering, and Compressor equipment. However, Section 12.6 indicates all accessories to be electrified.

All accessories, including but not limited to HVAC (Compressor and Fans), Steering Pump, Air Compressor, and Doors, shall be electrified. The Technical Specifications have been updated to remove any ambiguity. See Technical Specification version 1.1.

5. In Attachment N and Attachment B Class D proponents are requested to submit pricing for both BAE and Allison, however, for Attachment B Class B Manuals and Diagnostic Tools, there is no option to provide pricing for both systems. Please confirm if NYCT would like proponents to include potential price differences for Manuals and Diagnostic Tools using the Miscellaneous column in the Alternate Proposal Pricing sheet.

In Attachment B, the pricing presented for the alternate propulsion system shall be inclusive of manuals and diagnostic tools. Additionally, Proposers have to provide a separate spreadsheet indicating the differences in pricing for the manuals and tools.

6. Would NYCT like proponents to complete Attachment B-3 for bus quantities of 165 and 110 in addition to 275?

Yes, please complete Attachment B-3 for bus quantities of 165 and 110.

7. Please confirm if NYS content impact is required for the Alternate Proposal Pricing sheet, or if this will only be listed in Attachment B-3.

NYS content impact should be listed in the Alternate Proposal Pricing as well as Attachment B-3. Please note, that Attachment B-3 should be filled out for each quantity of buses – 275, 165, and 110.

8. Please confirm if Intent to Perform forms (15A.4) are required to be submitted with Attachment F.1.

Confirmed. Please note that the Intent to Perform must be filled out on the sub-supplier’s letterhead.

754030 Page 4 of 8 B40666 Addendum #2 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses 9. As per the Overview and Proposal Procedures section 1 – Introduction (paragraph 2) and section 4 – Alternate Proposals (paragraph 1), please confirm if proponets must submit a fully compliant proposal with no exceptions, and if so, if proponets are allowed to ask for approved equals during the question period.

The Authority is desirous of receiving a fully compliant Proposal. If the Proposer is unable to meet a certain requirement (e.g. the spec calls for a 40-foot bus but the Proposer’s bus is 42 feet long), please note “Unable to Comply” in Attachment C with a detailed reason as to why it is not possible to meet the specification. If the Proposer wishes to ask for an approved equal in Attachment C, it is free to do so while noting detailed reasons why the proposed change would be beneficial to NYCT, any cost savings and the impact to NYS Content.

10. As per Overview and Proposal Procedures, section 1 - Introduction (paragraph 2) and section 4 – Alternate Proposals (paragraph 1), please confirm that if proponents cannot submit a fully compliant proposal, technical and commercial exceptions may be submitted through Attachment C with the proposal.

The Authority is desirous of receiving a fully compliant Proposal. If the Proposer is unable to meet a certain requirement (e.g. the spec calls for a 40-foot bus but Proposer’s bus is 42 feet long), please note “Unable to Comply” in Attachment C with a detailed reason as to why it is not possible to meet the specification. All clarifications and requests for deviations should be included in Attachment C while noting detailed reasons why the proposed change would be beneficial to NYCT, any cost savings and the impact to NYS Content.

11. In document “c - Important Notice to Proposers” there is a section referring to “REVISED SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE REQUIREMENTS, SCHEDULE T”. There is no Schedule T in the RFP documents. Is there a SDVOB requirement for this bid? If yes, please provide a copy of Schedule T.

There are no SDVOB requirements for this Contract. Schedule T is not necessary.

12. Article 10.C.4 specifies 1 year and on Attachment N specifies 12 years. Please confirm the requirements.

Article 10.C.4 is correct and Attachment N has been updated to reflect that the IVS System requires a 1-year parts and labor warranty.

13. Appendix A-25 lists approved vendors for Collision Avoidance System (CAS), however, Appendix C-09 is not used. Please confirm if CAS is required for this contract.

CAS is not a requirement for this Contract.

14. The second phase of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fuel efficiency standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and engines comes into effect in year 2021 and will drive changes to major components of the bus. The concern, is that with an award date of December 31, 2019, we could be in a position where at the time that pilot buses are delivered and are undergoing testing, the EPA changes will come in to effect and therefore NYCT would be

754030 Page 5 of 8 B40666 Addendum #2 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses testing vehicles that are not representative of the buses that will be built in production. Here is a link to details on the regulation: https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissions-vehicles-and- engines/final-rule-greenhouse-gas-emissions-and-fuel-efficiency

Based on feedback through the pre-bid meeting, delivery timelines for buses is of utmost importance to NYCT. In advance of submitting the proposal, New Flyer is requesting guidance on how NYCT would like to proceed and manage the 2021 EPA regulation changes with the requirements for in-service evaluation, qualification testing and delivery of the production buses.

The following articles are examples of terms and conditions that would impact the delivery schedule based on the aforementioned change. Article 4A, Interchangeability Article 6E, In-Service Evaluation Article 6C, Qualification Testing Article 6G, Notice to Proceed

Proposers must present NYC Transit with suggestions and timelines for mitigating the risks and challenges the upcoming EPA rule change present. Alternate proposals may be necessary to present all options available to NYC Transit.

15. Article 3A.2. e, g and h appear to be missing additional references at the end of the sentence. Please confirm intended language.

Article 3(A) e, g, and h have been updated. Please see items 3, 4, and 5 in the “Changes to Contract Documents” section above.

16. On the price form, for the split 40%/60%, would it be possible to submit 2 pricing instead of 1? The current form allows for 1 unit price for the split. We wish to present 2 unit price – 1 per level.

The Authority is desirous of receiving a fully compliant Proposal. If the Proposer is unable to meet a certain requirement (e.g. the spec calls for a 40-foot bus but Proposer’s bus is 42 feet long), please note “Unable to Comply” in Attachment C with a detailed reason as to why it is not possible to meet the specification. If the Proposer wishes to present one or more alternate price proposals they may do so by submitting the alternate proposal(s) along with a detailed explanation of the benefits to NYC Transit.

17. Attachment N – Warranty Item 44: LED Components (please add additional lines for sub-components) Do you expect to include the cornering lamps and the Dash cluster in item 44?

Yes. Proposers should list all LED subcomponents for Item 44.

18. Warranty - Mileage Article 10 – B and Attachment N The usual paragraph was deleted:

754030 Page 6 of 8 B40666 Addendum #2 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses Contractor warrants the successful operation of these Systems and components without any defect or failure for the duration of the total specified warranty period or the mileage per year equivalent (50,000 miles per year), whichever comes first, except as otherwise stated. For example, the Total Warranty Period on an Air Compressor (Engine) is two (2) years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

How should we understand the warranty requirements and the reading of ATT N?

How to read the requirement? Item 2 - Air Compressor (Engine) – Electric – 5 Years We understand that the total Warranty Period requirement on an Air Compressor (Engine) is five (5) years or 250,000 miles, whichever comes first – Is it correct?

How to fill Attachment N? There is no specifications on how you would prefer to see the mileage to appear in Attachment N if it exceed or meets the requirement. If no mileage is specified should it means 50,000 miles per year?

The reference to 50,000 miles per year has been deleted from Attachment N. It is NYC Transit’s expectation that the warranty will cover unlimited mileage during the specified warranty period.

19. Parchments: We assume that we need to put the required parchments in ATT N-1. Please confirm.

This RFP does not require the submission of parchments. NYC Transit is willing to accept parchments for certain systems as outlined in Section 2 of the Attachment N. If a Proposer wishes for the Authority to consider accepting one or more parchments, they must be included in the Attachment C.

20. Appendix C6, Section 8. Training Please note that, no training regarding the APC is mentioned neither in Article 20 nor in the Price Proposal Forms. However, training regarding the APC is present in Appendix C6. Kindly confirm that the price proposal form prevails and no training regarding this section is requested.

The training requirement has been removed from Appendix C6. Please see version 1.6.1 of Appendix C6 attached hereto.

21. ARTICLE 20 in Terms & Conditions and Class C: Training in Attachment B There are some discrepancies in terms of training content, between ARTICLE 20 C - PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS and Class C. of Attachment B (Price Proposal Forms). The bidder kindly ask NYTC to confirm that, Class C. of Attachment B (Price Proposal Forms) prevails.

Yes. However, if there are additional training classes which the Proposer wishes to recommend, they should do so with their alternate proposal. Please make sure to include detailed reasons for the additional training as well as impacts to the price and/or NYS Content.

754030 Page 7 of 8 B40666 Addendum #2 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses 23. A. Water test (Section 2.6.10 Water test & Appendix A-20) and all the parameters specified,

Which is the most important for you?

a) The amount of water per minute that hits the vehicle or b) The speed/ energy of the water projected on the vehicle

Both a and b are of equal importance to the Authority.

B. In addition, what is the reasoning behind or what are you looking for with values of 1) 60 psi and the 2) 25 "distance of location of nozzles from the surface? Note: Positioning the nozzles 25" from the surface may result in major facilities changes and costs.

It is the Authority's expectation that buses will be tested in accordance with all applicable specifications. If a vendor is unable to meet the specification, it may request a clarification or deviation in the Attachment C.

Please attach this addendum to your proposal(s) or acknowledge it in the place provided in the Proposer's Execution Form(s) (Attachment A) submitted with your proposal(s). Failure to do so may result in rejection of your proposal s~> f!l Geoffrey ay '-;r Assistant Chief ProUrement Officer

The Authority may award this Contract in its entirety to a single Proposer or may split the award in the event the Authority determines such action to be in its best interest in accordance with Paragraph 21, below.

Contract B40666 will be awarded by the Authority pursuant to a competitively negotiated Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation procedure. Accordingly, this RFP affords Proposers an opportunity to submit alternate proposals, in addition to a fully compliant proposal. Therefore, at a minimum, a Proposer must submit one (1) compliant proposal based upon the Contract Documents, including the Technical Specifications, that are applicable to either Contract, in order to submit an alternate proposal. See Paragraph 4 – Alternate Proposals, below, for more information.

The term “Bid” or “Bidder”, if referenced in the RFP package, shall be synonymous to “Proposal” or “Proposer” respectively.

Proposals will only be considered from Proposers that are offering a Low-Floor 40-Foot Hybrid Electric Bus that has already successfully completed the structural qualification and all other qualification activities in accordance with the New Bus Testing Program, or from Proposers that can demonstrate that they have the ability to qualify their proposed Low- Floor 40-Foot Hybrid-Electric Bus in time to support the Delivery Schedule.

Please note that time is of the essence regarding the delivery of all buses, as required under each contract; the Authority is desirous of receiving all buses as soon as possible after Notice of Award.

Listed in descending order of importance, the following factors will be considered in evaluating proposals:

• Overall Project Cost • Overall Quality of Proposer and Product • New York State Content • Other Relevant Matters

In order to qualify as a responsible Proposer and be eligible for an award, in addition to other requirements herein provided, a Proposer must be prepared to prove to the satisfaction of the Authority that it can perform the Work, and comply with the requirements, for each Contract on which it is proposing.

2. PERTINENT DATES

The current schedule is as follows:

A. Release date of RFP: May 1, 2019.

B. A Pre-Proposal Conference will be held on May 16, 2019 at 2 Broadway, 19th Floor Conference Room C19.01, New York, NY 10004.

C. All inquiries must be received by the Authority by May 22, 2019.

D. All proposals are due no later than June 26, 2019 2:00 PM local time ("the Closing Date").

E. Negotiations are scheduled to commence thereafter.

Any changes to the above shall be made via addendum.

3. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Authority considers any information which it may have released either orally or in writing prior to the issuance of the RFP to be preliminary in nature; the Authority shall not be bound by such information.

Each Proposer should furnish the information required by this RFP for each Contract on which it is proposing. The individual signing each proposal must also initial any erasures or other changes.

If a Proposal is signed by an individual other than the president, a vice president, or general partner of the Proposer, the Proposal is to include evidence of the signor’s authority to bind the Proposer (e.g., corporate resolution).

Proposers must obtain notarization from a valid Notary Public to execute documents and certifications requiring notarization contained in the Contract. The use of a Commissioner of Oaths in lieu of a Notary Public is acceptable provided that proof of commission, validity period and commission number are documented, stamped or hand written with each executed document.

4. ALTERNATE PROPOSALS

In order to submit an alternate proposal on a Contract, a Proposer must also submit one (1) fully compliant proposal. The Authority encourages alternate proposals that offer performance enhancements, cost reductions, or other changes that present additional advantages to the Authority. It is essential that each Proposer clearly indicate, with specificity, in what respect its alternate proposal constitutes an enhancement, a reduction or other change in the Contract Terms and Conditions and Technical Specifications. All affected provisions should be cited and any proposed modifications set forth. The

Overview and Proposal Procedures B40666 Addendum #2 743951 Page 5 of 26 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses

corresponding Alternate Price Proposal(s) must clearly identify those items affected by the alternate proposal(s) and the amount of change in price/cost being proposed. The Authority is willing to consider all alternate proposals to the extent that the cost savings and/or other advantages that the Authority desires to entertain are demonstrated by the Proposer offering the alternate proposal.

The Authority considers it essential that thorough and precise proposals are received so that effective evaluation and comparison can take place within the time allowed and so that any resulting negotiations not become needlessly protracted. Accordingly, the Authority reserves the right not to consider any proposal prepared with an apparent disregard of this requirement such that evaluation and comparison are determined by its Selection Committee to be difficult or impossible. Proposals which the Authority may consider as unacceptable include, but are not limited to, blanket reservations, general objections, general offers of enhancement or general suggestions for modification of the Contract Terms and Conditions and/or Technical Specification and Contract Drawings.

5. “OR EQUAL” SPECIFICATIONS

Wherever the Contract Documents specify a particular brand or manufacturer of material or equipment to be furnished, such material or equipment shall be regarded as a standard for the demonstration of the Authority’s stated requirements; any material or equipment other than what was specified will be found acceptable if, in the sole discretion of the Authority, it is equal in all essential respects to the stated requirements. All Proposers are presumed to be proposing on the make, model, brand or sample specified unless the Proposer submits the documentation necessary to establish the equality of the alternate material or equipment.

6. QUALIFYING ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS OF MAJOR SUBSYSTEMS

For each Major Subsystem, as defined in Article 1 of the Terms and Conditions of the applicable Contract, Proposers must propose a Supplier who has been approved by the Authority, as listed in Appendix A-25 to the Technical Specifications. However, Proposers may also propose an alternate supplier of a Major Subsystems and, in such case, Forms ASF-1 and ASF-2 of Attachment K must be completed in their entirety. Proposers shall submit Price Proposals for both the Major System Suppliers listed on Appendix A-25 to the Technical Specifications and any alternate Suppliers.

For alternate suppliers of a Major Subsystem to be considered, the alternate supplier(s) must have entered into a Test Program through a “Loan Agreement” with the Authority prior to the Award of this Contract. Acceptance of an alternate supplier of a Major Subsystem for use on the Bus is at the sole discretion of the Authority.

A Loan Agreement requires that a Supplier furnish the proposed alternate equipment at no cost to the Authority for extensive testing in revenue service. All Authority labor, overhead and materials shall be paid for by the Supplier at the actual rates at the time they are expended. Installation and removal of the alternate equipment will be performed by Authority personnel with supervision of the Supplier as required.

Overview and Proposal Procedures B40666 Addendum #2 743951 Page 6 of 26 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses

Loan Agreements may be terminated by either party for convenience. In the event a Supplier enters into a Loan Agreement and is not selected as a Supplier to perform Work on this Contract, the Supplier or the Authority may elect to: 1) continue to have its equipment tested under the Loan Agreement; or 2) terminate for convenience, at no cost to the Authority.

20. PROPOSAL EVALUATION

All Proposals shall be subject to evaluation by a committee of Authority personnel (the Selection Committee). Proposals will first be evaluated with respect to the threshold criteria below and any Proposal that does not meet these threshold criteria set forth in Paragraph 16, above, will be eliminated from further evaluation.

In making the determination as to which proposal is most advantageous and offers the best value to the Authority, the Authority will review the proposals in relation to all evaluation criteria for the applicable Contract. Accordingly, neither the Proposer with the highest technical ranking, nor the proposer with the lowest priced proposal, will necessarily receive an award

Overview and Proposal Procedures B40666 Addendum #2 743951 Page 18 of 26 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses

The overall evaluation criteria listed below in this Paragraph 20 are listed in descending order of importance.

To ensure consideration, Proposals must be complete and contain all the information required by this RFP including information needed to assess the evaluation criteria described herein.

(1) Overall Project Cost

a) The evaluation of the Price Proposal will include, but not be limited to, the cost of the Units, special tools, test equipment, training, manuals, interactive electronic technical manuals, advance payment, performance and warranty bonds, warranty, price impact of proposed changes to Terms and Conditions, and other matters with pricing or cost implications to the Authority.

b) With respect to financing, credit may be given to Proposers for alternative financing (direct vendor financing, non-vendor financing and leasing options) made available to the Authority. Financing rates and associated costs will be compared to a blended MTA tax exempt bond interest rate (“MTA rate”). The MTA rate is currently estimated at 3.44%. For evaluation purposes, the prices submitted will be evaluated in terms of the applicable net present value, and adjusted for any variations in payment terms or other items with similar cost implications.

(2) Overall Quality of Proposer and Product

Assessed rating of overall quality and other factors impacting operations, including but not limited to a review of such elements as:

a) Reliability based on Mean Distance Between Failures (MDBF) for bus and subsystem statistics;

b) Vehicle performance on the basis of fuel economy (mpg);

c) Operator visibility based on meeting or exceeding technical specifications by minimizing obscuration caused by the bus A-Pillar and other elements in the operator compartment;

d) Demonstrated ability to successfully deliver the buses in accordance with the proposed delivery schedule based on the Proposers current order book, plant capacity, proposed production rate and timeliness of delivery on prior contracts;

e) Proposer’s responsiveness including but not limited to ability to support its product through training, technical support/documentation, field service engineering resources, and campaign completion;

Overview and Proposal Procedures B40666 Addendum #2 743951 Page 19 of 26 275 Low-Floor 40-Foot Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses

f) Production process/methodology in the bus build, the quality derived from such process, and ability to integrate with system suppliers;

g) Proposer’s Diversity Practices as determined by the Authority's assessment of Proposer's answers to Schedule E (Proposer Diversity Practices Questionnaire), which is primarily, though not entirely, concerned with Proposer's use of, and programs for, New York State certified Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises;

h) Maintainability with respect to time to complete core maintenance jobs, review of Standard Repair Times;

i) Structural quality based on type of material used, history of structural problems and warranty experience; and

j) Noise reduction by reviewing results and efforts in reducing interior and exterior noise levels to meet and exceed technical specifications.

The Authority will assess a score for each of the above referenced elements. A Total Score of two hundred (200) points, for a through j above, will earn one hundred percent (100%) of the available evaluative credit which is equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Lowest Total BAFO Price per bus.

For example, if the Lowest Total BAFO Price per bus is $100,000 then each point received will be worth $150.00 in evaluative credit.

Example: Lowest Total BAFO Price per bus x 30% x Points Received 200 Points

(3) Credit for New York State Content

a) Proposers are encouraged to maximize the extent to which the Contract will be performed at sites within the State of New York or will include the use of goods produced or services provided within the State of New York ("NYS Content").

b) An evaluative credit from the Total BAFO Price per bus (the Total BAFO Price divided by the quantity of buses) based upon the overall percentage of NYS Content shall be established based upon the following criteria:

i. One hundred percent (100%) of the cost to the bus manufacturer which is ascribed to goods to be produced at manufacturing facilities which are located in the State of New York.

ii. One hundred percent (100%) of the cost to the bus manufacturer which is ascribed to any services to be performed at facilities or physical offices located in the State of New York or any services

arranged by a firm at its facilities or in its offices which are located in the State of New York.

iii. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the cost to the bus manufacturer which is ascribed to goods to be produced or services originating outside the State of New York and to be distributed by or acquired from a Supplier having a place of business in the State of New York.

iv. An additional one hundred percent (100%) of the value of the credit claimed by the Proposer under subparagraphs 3.b.i. and 3.b.ii. if the facility in which the goods are manufactured, or the facility or office where the services are performed for this Contract B40666, is Proposer-operated and located within the State of New York.

c) The Proposer whose BAFO contains the highest overall NYS Content shall receive a credit equal to ten percent (10%) of the Lowest Total BAFO Price per bus submitted;

d) Each other Proposer shall be afforded a credit calculated as follows:

Ten Percent (10%) of the Lowest Total BAFO Price per bus submitted multiplied by a ratio in which the numerator shall be the percentage of the NYS Content contained in such Proposer’s BAFO and the denominator shall be the percentage of NYS Content submitted by the Proposer containing the highest percentage of NYS Content.

Example: Lowest Total BAFO Price per bus x 10% x Proposed % NYS Content______Highest Proposed % NYS Content

(4) Other Relevant Matters

The Authority may assess evaluative credit based upon other relevant matter(s) not expressly covered above, including but not limited to the following:

a) Overall adherence to the requirements of this RFP in terms of quality, timeliness and completeness;

SPECIAL IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPOSERS

Solicitation No.: B40666

NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY SPECIAL IMPORTANT NOTICE TO BIDDERS Department of Materiel NY OMNIBUS PROCUREMENT ACT

SPECIAL IMPORTANT NOTICE TO BIDDERS INCLUDING QUESTION AND INCORPORATED CONTRACT PROVISIONS, NEW YORK OMNIBUS PROCUREMENT ACT (CHAPTER 844 of 1992) ENCOURAGING THE USE OF NEW YORK STATE BUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN CONTRACT PERFORMANCE

1. Definition: For purposes of this notice, a “New York State Business Enterprise” means a business enterprise including a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation, which offers for sale or lease or other form of exchange, goods which are sought by a New York State public authority or public benefit corporation, which are substantially manufactured, produced or assembled in New York state, or services which are sought by the public authority or public benefit corporation and which are substantially performed within New York State.

2. It is the policy of New York State to maximize opportunities for the participation of New York State Business Enterprises, including minority and women-owned business enterprises, as proposers, subcontractors, and suppliers. New York State Business Enterprises that participate as contractors, subcontractors and suppliers in the contracts of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its affiliated and subsidiary agencies (collectively, “MTA”) strongly contribute to the economies of the State and the nation. In recognition of this contribution, proposers for this contract are strongly encouraged and expected to consider New York State Business Enterprises in the fulfillment of the requirements of this contract. Such participation may be as subcontractors, suppliers, or other supporting roles. MTA, to the maximum extent practicable and consistent with legal requirements, desires to achieve participation of qualified and responsible New York State Business Enterprises in purchasing commodities and services including technology. Furthermore, proposers are reminded that they must continue to utilize small, minority and women-owned businesses, consistent with current State law. Utilizing New York State Business Enterprises in MTA contracts will help create more private sector jobs, rebuild New York’s infrastructure and maximize economic activity to the mutual benefit of contractors, participating New York State Business Enterprises, the public sector and the people of the State of New York. Public procurements can drive and improve the State’s economic engine through promotion of the participation of New York State Business Enterprises by MTA contractors. MTA, therefore, strongly encourages proposers to use New York State Business Enterprises in MTA contracts. The potential participation by all kinds of New York State Business Enterprises in MTA contracts will deliver great value to the MTA, the State and its taxpayers.

3. A proposer responding to this solicitation may answer the question below in Paragraph K(3) of its Proposer’s Execution Form to demonstrate its voluntary commitment to the use of New York State Business Enterprises1:

Does proposer anticipate that one or more New York State Business Enterprises will be used in the performance of this contract?

Yes: ___ No: ____

If the answer is yes, please identify in the Proposal the New York State Business Enterprises that the proposer anticipates will be used, to the extent known, and attach identifying information about each such New York State Business Enterprise.

1 While support of New York State Business Enterprises is encouraged, how a proposer responds to this question will have no impact on the award of the subject procurement (except for certain rolling stock procurements where the law expressly permits New York State content to be part of the evaluation criteria for award).
