- YEAR CREATED: 2008
- ENTITY TYPE: State
- TYPE OF DOCUMENT: BID - ITB, IFB, ITT, RFB
The document is a bid document for the procurement of steel cutting edges for snow plows, snow plow wings, and tractor shovels by the Office of General Services (OGS) in New York State. The document includes various clauses, policies, and requirements related to the bidding process and contract award.
The document begins with a certification section, where the bidder certifies that their prices have been determined independently without collusion or communication with other bidders or competitors. It also states that the bidder will not disclose their prices to others before the bid opening and will not attempt to restrict competition. If the bidder is unable to provide the required certification, they must provide a detailed statement explaining the reasons.
The document also highlights the prohibition on procurement lobbying, stating that the bidder should only communicate with designated staff during the restricted period, unless there are statutory exceptions. OGS employees are required to obtain certain information during the restricted period and assess the responsibility of the bidder. Non-responsibility findings can lead to rejection of contract award and potential debarment.
The document mentions a dispute resolution policy, encouraging vendors to seek resolution of disputes through consultation with OGS staff. It provides information on how to obtain an electronic payment authorization form instead of receiving checks.
Appendix A and Appendix B are attached to the document, containing standard clauses for New York State contracts and general specifications, respectively. The order of precedence for resolving conflicts between documents is also mentioned.
The document includes a requirement for the bidder to complete the NYS Standard Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire, which will be used by the State to determine the bidder's responsibility. If the responses to the questionnaire are found to be intentionally false or incomplete, the contract may be terminated.
Additionally, the document mentions the inclusion of contractor certification forms and instructions for completing them. These forms, labeled as Form No. ST, are attached to the bid document.
Lastly, the document mentions Tax Law 5-A, which requires certain contractors to certify their registration to collect New York State and local sales and compensating use taxes. Contractors exceeding sales thresholds must certify that their affiliates and subcontractors are also registered. The law prohibits contract approval for contractors who are not registered as required.
Overall, the document provides information and guidelines for bidders participating in the procurement process for steel cutting edges for snow plows, snow plow wings, and tractor shovels in New York State.
