The document provides information related to the requirements and procedures for contractors bidding on state contracts in New York. It specifically focuses on three main areas: tax law compliance, restrictions on mercury-added consumer products, and equal employment and business participation opportunities for minority group members and certified minority/women-owned businesses. Regarding tax law compliance, the document states that contractors awarded state contracts valued at over $100,000 must certify to the Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF) that they are registered to collect New York State and local sales and compensating use taxes. This requirement applies to contracts where the contractor's sales delivered into New York State exceed $300,000 for the four preceding quarterly periods. The law also requires contractors to ensure that their affiliates and subcontractors meeting the sales threshold are registered with DTF. Failure to comply with these requirements may render a bidder non-responsive and non-responsible. The document also mentions the ban on the sale or distribution of fever thermometers containing mercury, except by prescription, and elemental mercury for non-medical purposes. It further states that manufacturers are required to label mercury-added consumer products sold in New York State. Offerers are encouraged to contact the Department of Environmental Conservation for more information on this law. In terms of equal employment and business participation opportunities, the document refers to Article 15-A of the New York State Executive Law, which promotes equality of economic opportunities for minority group members and women. Contractors are required to include the provisions of Appendix A clause 12 - Equal Employment Opportunities for Minorities and Women in their subcontracts. Additionally, authorized users are encouraged to promote and assist the participation of New York State Certified Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) as subcontractors and suppliers. The document also mentions the availability of electronic bid opening results on the OGS/PSG web page, where bid prices and tabulations are posted within two business days after the bid opening. Furthermore, the document highlights the resolution of disputes through consultation with PSG staff. It emphasizes that all such matters will be accorded impartial and timely attention. Overall, the document provides important information and guidelines for contractors bidding on state contracts in New York, covering tax law compliance, restrictions on mercury-added consumer products, equal employment and business participation opportunities, as well as the process for resolving disputes through consultation with PSG staff.
