Information for Bidders

1. AWARD METHOD

AWARD TO SINGLE BIDDER:

It is the intent of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the “Port Authority”) to award to one Bidder based on the total estimated delivered price for all items. However, the Port Authority shall have the absolute right to reject any or all bids or to accept any bid in whole or in part and to waive defects in bids.

2. CORRECTION IN COMPUTATION

Prices must be quoted in United States Dollars. All figures inserted in the Request for Quotation form, or the electronic pricing sheet, if applicable, will be interpreted as being quoted in United States Dollars. Each Bidder shall ensure that all information and figures are inserted as required and that all computations have been verified for accuracy. Bidders are advised that the Port Authority may verify only the quotation or quotations that it deems appropriate and may not check each bid for errors in computation. The Port Authority reserves the unqualified right to recalculate any and all extended totals set forth by the Bidder. In the event there is a discrepancy between any unit price inserted and the extended total or the "Total Estimated Contract Price," the Bidder's unit price shall prevail.

3. ACCEPTABLE PRODUCTS AND SAMPLES

This bid may or may not call for specific brands that have been deemed acceptable for the purpose intended. If this bid calls for specific brands, with “no substitute,” that have been deemed acceptable for the purpose intended, then the Bidder must bid the specific brand. However, if the bid does not call for “no substitute”, then the Bidder may quote alternate products other than those listed hereunder. In that case, the Bidder must indicate the manufacturer name and model/part number of the alternate product next to each applicable line item. A Bidder quoting products may be required, at his own expense, to submit a sample of the proposed product and/or a copy of the specifications for the sample being submitted. If the Bidder fails to submit the required sample, the Bidder may be deemed non-responsive. If this bid does not call for the specific brands that have been deemed acceptable for the purpose intended, the Bidder may be required, at its own expense, to submit a sample of a proposed product.

Samples of all the requested products shall be submitted to the Port Authority for evaluation within seven (7) business days of request. Failure by the Bidder to deliver samples within the required

2 of 11 (08/2025) timeframe may result in the rejection of the Bid. The package containing sample products should clearly indicate the following: (1) the Bidder’s name and address, (2) the Bid number, and (3) the Bid due date. Additionally, each item must be tagged with the Port Authority’s Material Stock Number and the Bidder’s name and address. Sample products are to be sent directly to: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Central Warehouse, 777 Jersey Ave, Jersey City, New Jersey 07310. All sample products submitted by the Bidder will be evaluated by the Port Authority, and the Port Authority will make the final determination as to whether or not the sample product is acceptable. The Bidder shall bear all costs of the evaluation, if any. Should a proposed alternate product be deemed not acceptable, the Bidder shall be obligated to provide one of the listed acceptable brands, including the manufacturer’s name and model/part numbers at the original quoted price to maintain eligibility for contract award. All samples must be picked up by the Bidder within thirty (30) days of notification, after which all samples will become the property of the Port Authority.

Once a bid is accepted, the successful Bidder should deliver the approved product accepted by the Port Authority, unless otherwise approved in advance by the Port Authority. After rejection of a substitute for award consideration, the Bidder can offer any specified manufacturer/brand in the material description, but shall maintain the price quoted for the rejected substitute.

4. PRE-AWARD MEETING

The lowest responsive and responsible Bidder may be called for a pre-award meeting prior to award of the Contract.

5. ENERGY STAR

Where applicable, the Bidder shall make best efforts to provide products that earn the ENERGY STAR and meet the ENERGY STAR specifications for energy efficiency. The Bidder is encouraged to visit www.energystar.gov for complete product specifications and updated lists of qualifying products.

6. CERTIFICATION OF RECYCLED MATERIALS

Bidders are requested to submit, with their bid, Attachment I-A “Certified Environmentally Preferable Products / Practices Form”, attesting that the products or items offered by the Bidder contain the minimum percentage of post-consumer recovered material in accordance with the most recent guidelines issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or, for commodities not so covered, the minimum percentage of post-consumer recovered materials http://www.energystar.gov/

3 of 11 (08/2025) established by other applicable regulatory agencies. The data submitted by the Bidder in Attachment I-A is being solicited for informational purposes only.

Recycling Definitions:

b. “Post-consumer Material” shall be defined as any material or finished product that has served its intended use and has been discarded for disposal or recovery having completed its life as a consumer item. “Post-consumer material” is included in the broader category of “Recovered Material”.

c. “Pre-consumer Material” shall be defined as any material or by-product generated after the manufacture of a product but before the product reaches the consumer, such as damaged or obsolete products. Pre-consumer Material does not include mill and manufacturing trim, scrap, or broken material that is generated at a manufacturing site and commonly reused on-site in the same or another manufacturing process.

d. “Recycled Product” shall be defined as a product that contains the highest amount of post-consumer material practicable, or when post-consumer material is impracticable for a specific type of product, contains substantial amounts of Pre-consumer Material.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. GENERAL AGREEMENT

The Vendor agrees to furnish and deliver on an "as needed" basis to the Port Authority's warehouses as set forth herein, the Authority's warehouse requirements for the items set forth in the "Request for Quotation" form or Excel Pricing Sheets if applicable, within the calendar days indicated further herein. The furnishing and delivery shall be at the prices quoted and shall be in effect for the duration of this contract and in accordance with the Section “Unit Price Adjustment”.

If any item description or the solicitation document specifies “no substitute”, then Bidders are required to quote the specified manufacturers. Otherwise, Bidders are encouraged to quote the specified items and manufacturers. For any alternate-equals quoted, Bidders are expected to have made a responsible comparison of the general quality of the alternate product to the specified items. Bidders shall indicate the alternate-equal manufacturer name and part number and submit specification sheets to facilitate a review by the Port Authority. Specifications sheets must indicate the corresponding Port Authority stock number in order for the Port Authority to review. If no alternate-equal manufacturer and part number is indicated for an item, the Bidder’s submitted Bid is interpreted as offering any of the specified manufacturers for that item. Also refer to the section entitled “Acceptable Samples and Products” herein.

The contract term is two (2) years. There shall be no minimum quantities or dollars per Purchase Order release. The dollar value of this requisition is for evaluation purposes only and there are no guarantees as to the actual amount, if any, that may be ordered.

In full consideration for the performance of all duties and obligations hereunder, the Vendor agrees to accept from the Port Authority a compensation consisting of payment for the items or services supplied by the Vendor computed at the bid prices quoted. The “Unit Prices” quoted shall not exceed two decimal places.

2. UNIT PRICE ADJUSTMENT

For the purposes of this Section, the following terms apply:

a) “Unit Price” excludes any part of the price directly resulting from requirements for preservation, packaging, or packing beyond standard commercial practice;

b) “Established Price" means a price that is an established catalog or market price for a commercial item sold in substantial quantities to the general public and is the net price after applying any standard trade discounts offered by the Contractor.

Unit Prices quoted for the items/materials in this Contract shall remain firm for the first six (6)

5 of 11 (08/2025) months following the effective start date of the Contract. Unit Prices may be adjusted, only if requested by the Contractor and approved by the Port Authority and made effective for the start of the seventh (7th) month into the Contract, and for each of the next six (6) months in the base period thereafter (the “Adjustment Period”). Adjusted Unit Prices will remain firm during their scheduled Adjustment Period.

If the Contractor requests a price increase adjustment, an increase adjustment may be considered with documented proof from the manufacturer that the new price is the most current Established Price used industry wide, is consistent with manufacturing and/or market trends, and which changes are outside of the Contractor’s control. Examples of documented proof may include, but shall not be limited to, changes in cost of raw material, quotes to the Contractor by the manufacturer or supplier, and correspondence from the manufacturer or supplier to the Contractor evidencing that the increase being requested is passed to the Contractor.

The Contractor shall endeavor to request price adjustment only during the thirty (30) calendar days immediately preceding the start of the next scheduled Adjustment Period. In the event the Contractor must increase the price for an item at a time outside of the Adjustment Period (except for the Extension Period), the Contractor shall demonstrate the request in accordance with the provisions of this Section. As part of its request for price adjustment, the Contractor shall extend to the Port Authority any decrease in pricing afforded to it by the manufacturer or supplier. The Port Authority reserves the right to inquire with the Contractor, at any time during Contract, to verify the current Established Price in effect at the time of inquiry and to request an immediate decrease as appropriate.

The Contractor’s requests for price adjustment are subject to the Port Authority’s review and approval. Price adjustments accepted by the Port Authority will go into effect on all orders placed within the applicable Adjustment Period. Retroactive price adjustments will not be made on any orders placed prior to the Port Authority’s acceptance for the applicable Adjustment Period.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, in no event shall any item price adjustment increase hereunder be greater than ten percent (10%) per Adjustment Period.

The amounts payable to the Contractor during the Extension Period, if applicable and exercised, shall not be subject to price adjustment.
