The Bidder must upload its bid prior to the time and date specified so that it is included in the project download. Late bids cannot be accepted. This is the only way to submit a bid for this project; paper bids will not be accepted. The work under this Two (2) Step Invitation for Bid (IFB) generally consists of, but is not limited to, complete Removal and Recycling of Used Oil Filters for a period of two (2) Base Years with the option to extend the Contract, which may be exercised at NJ TRANSIT's sole discretion, for two (2) additional Option Years starting from issuance of the Contract. All work must be in strict conformance with the specifications provided in the Bid Documents. This is a Two-Step IFB. Step One (1) of this IFB will involve a pre-qualification process. All Contractors must be prequalified by NJ TRANSIT prior to submitting a Bid. All Contractors, regardless of past performance, must complete the Contractors Pre-Qualification Form (Attachment A), for review by the NJ TRANSIT Pre-qualification Committee, prior to the submission of the Bid in Step Two (2). The Contractors Pre-qualification Form must be submitted by email to mlisboa@njtransit.com on or before 4:00 P.M. (EST) July 22, 2022 for the Contractor to be considered as a possible Bidder. Late pre-qualification forms will not be accepted and will disqualify a vendor from contract award.
