This Request for Proposal ("RFP") invites proposals for 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.
This RFP may be reissued, amended, supplemented and/or withdrawn at the sole discretion of
the NFTA.
Proposals received after the due date and time shall be considered late and, therefore, shall not
be accepted nor considered for award. 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 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
