This is Addendum 1 to a Request for Proposals issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) for professional services related to environmental consulting and project management. The addendum modifies the original solicitation requirements and clarifies specifications for the requested services. The original RFP sought qualified consulting firms to provide comprehensive environmental assessment, permitting support, and project oversight services for state infrastructure initiatives. The addendum provides clarifications on scope modifications, updated technical requirements, and additional submission instructions for interested bidders. Prospective contractors were required to submit proposals by the specified deadline outlined in the addendum, with contract award anticipated following the evaluation and selection process. The contract term and any renewal options are subject to the terms and conditions established in the original RFP documents and are contingent upon performance and available funding.

The addendum addresses specific pricing adjustments, clarifications on cost estimation methodologies, and modifications to the evaluation criteria for proposal submissions. It specifies any set-asides applicable to disadvantaged business enterprises or minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs) as required by New York State procurement regulations. The funding source and budget allocation for this contract derives from NYSDEC's operational budget and state environmental funds. The document provides essential guidance for bidders to ensure compliant submissions and accurate understanding of modified project requirements, deliverables, and performance expectations for the duration of the contract period.
