“TASK ORDER” BASIS FOR A FOUR-YEAR TERM (RFP# 6000002130) –

ADDENDUM #2

Dear Sir or Madam:

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the Authority) hereby amends the subject Request for Proposals as follows:

The date for receipt of proposals for the subject RFP has been changed to 2:00 P.M. on June 10, 2024.

The following is a question from a Request for Proposals (RFP) recipient. The question and the corresponding Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the Authority) answer is provided for your information and use, as appropriate.

Question #1: Is the Authority able to provide the presentation from the May 16, 2024, pre-proposal meeting?

Answer #1: The Authority has attached the subject pre-proposal meeting’s presentation for your reference.

Question #2: In Section IV, Proposer Requirement B, is it correct to assume that the Authority is requiring all project examples to have minimum construction value of $100 million or more?

Answer #2: Yes.

Question #3: In Section IV, Proposer Requirement B, is the five-year timeline determined by the start or completion of construction work? As the planning project may have been completed earlier (outside of five-year requirement). For example, if terminal planning was completed in 2017 and construction was completed in 2021, will this be considered within the required five-year period?

Answer #3: The five-year timeline refers to the period immediately preceding the Proposal Due Date, and it considers the time when the firm was actively engaged a project.

Question #4: In Section IV, Proposer Requirement B, must all projects have construction work started? Can a planning project identifying a Capital Investment Program be considered?

Answer #4: For a project to be considered, it must demonstrate construction payments exceeding $100 million, whether completed or actively in progress.

- 2 -

Question #5: Our MBE/WBE/DBE status from the Port Authority is currently pending. What documentation should we provide our Prime to reflect our pending status? Will there be any negative implications to submit while our application is still in progress?

Answer #5: Historically, if a subconsultant that has been submitted in a Proposal’s participation plan is not yet certified with us, but has already submitted an application, that should be acceptable. No documentation should be needed, but the Prime should mention in the participation plan box below that [INSERT FIRM NAME HERE]’s [INSET APPLICABLE CERTIFICATION HERE] status is pending. There should also not be any negative repercussions.

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Courtney R. Eddington at ceddington@panynj.gov.
