Freedom of Information Law
Notice to Bidders / June 2026 7
Your bid to OPRHP, including accompanying documents, is subject to the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) found in Article 6 of the N.Y. Public Officer Law. FOIL provides that certain records are exempt from disclosure, including those that contain (1) trade secrets, (2) information that, if disclosed, would cause substantial injury to the competitive position of your organization, or (3) critical infrastructure information. Records may be redacted to protect only the portions of documents that fall within a FOIL exemption. An entire document may not be withheld if only a portion of the document is exempt from disclosure. Blanket assertions that information is a trade secret, confidential, or proprietary are insufficient to justify withholding information under FOIL. If you identify information seeking an exemption from public disclosure due to the above-mentioned reasons such request will be reviewed, and a determination will be made as to whether the information is exempt from disclosure under FOIL. However, such submissions seeking non-disclosure will not be considered unless it is accompanied with an explanation justifying the privilege. The State’s determination may be appealed pursuant to POL §89(5)(c). Pursuant to POL §87(2)(b), the State, without having to request it, will redact information that “if disclosed would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
Timely Submission
The Bidders are solely responsible for timely delivery of their bid to the location set forth by the stated bid due date/time and are solely responsible for delays in receipt, including but not limited to those due to third-party carriers.
Bidder Proposal Clarification
Prior to award, OPRHP reserves the right to seek clarifications, request proposal revisions, or to request any information deemed necessary for proper evaluation of proposals from all Bidders deemed to be eligible for Contract award. Failure of a bidder to cooperate with OPRHP’s effort to clarify a proposal may result in the proposal being labeled as non-responsive and be given no further consideration.
Additionally, OPRHP reserves the right to use information submitted by the Bidder in response to OPRHP’s request for clarifying information in the course of evaluation and selection under this IFB.
Bid Review and Contract Approval
The Contract resulting from this IFB will not be effective until approved by the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the State Comptroller.
Debriefing Sessions
A debriefing is available to any entity that submitted a proposal or bid in response to a solicitation (“Bidder”). A Bidder will be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to its opportunity for debriefing.
Debriefing must be requested in writing by any bidder within fifteen (15) calendar days of OPRHP notifying the unsuccessful bidders that another vendor was selected.

In making a determination, the protest officer will consider the legal and factual grounds stated in the protest, consult with the Designated Contact and appropriate program staff, and review all relevant documents.

Notice to Bidders / June 2026 13
NEW YORK STATE BUSINESSES INFORMATION
Contractors are encouraged to use and work with New York State Businesses. Accordingly, bidders are required to complete and submit the form which will allow us to track this information. Please complete and include the form “Encouraging Use of New York State Businesses in Contract Performance” with your bid. The apparent low bidder will be asked to identify the New York State businesses that will be used.
SUBMISSION OF BID
Submit Bid Form and Bid Security, if required in the Notice to Bidders, via scanned hard copies to the email listed in the notice to bidders.
The Contract D number and Company Name should be clearly marked in the subject line of the email, along with the words “BID SUBMISSIONS”.
All bids must be received at or before the time specified on the Notice to Bidders, whether to the email address or the physical mailing address designated for bid opening. Failure to include an electronic copy of your DOL registration certificate AND a completed/signed copy of the Gender-Based Violence and the Workplace Certification with your bid by the bid opening date and time WILL result in disqualification.
A late bid will be considered if (1) its arrival at the place designated after the time specified can be shown by documentary or other proofs to be due to the mishandling by employees of the Office and
(2) that absent such mishandling, the bid would have arrived timely. Delays in the U.S. Mail or any other means of transmittal, including by couriers or agents of the State of New York (State), other than employees of the Office will not suffice to excuse late arrival.
A late bid not eligible for consideration will be returned unopened with notification of the reason for its refusal.
MODIFICATION OF BID
Bid modifications by amendment may be considered on condition that:
1. The amendment arrives before the time set for the bid opening.
2. The amendment is in writing and signed by the bidder.

Notice to Bidders / June 2026 14
WITHDRAWAL OF BID
A bid may be withdrawn at any time prior to the time specified for opening.
After the bid opening, a bidder may request the withdrawal of its bid by a written application on the grounds of a demonstrable mistake. Such written application must be made within seven days after the bid opening unless the Office, at its sole discretion, grants a time extension. Upon receiving such written application, the Office will review and decide the bidder’s withdrawal request based on the three elements below. A bid may be withdrawn if, before any detrimental change of position by the State has occurred, the bidder establishes that:
1. a verifiable error occurred in the computation of the bid, and
2. absent the mistake the bid would have been substantially higher, and
3. if directed to proceed with the Contract at the price set forth in the bid, the bidder would suffer a substantial loss on the contract.
Each element must be proven by clear and convincing evidence in order to justify withdrawal.
The judgment of the Office shall be final and conclusive. Should the judgment be against allowing withdrawal, then the failure of the bidder to proceed would be cause for forfeiture of its bid bond.
DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS
The State reserves the right to disqualify bids, before or after opening, upon evidence of collusion with intent to defraud or other illegal practices upon the part of the bidder.
OPENING OF BIDS
Bids shall be opened as announced in the Notice to Bidders. Bidders or their authorized agents are invited to attend via Webex.
AWARD OF CONTRACT
The Contract may be awarded to the lowest responsible and reliable bidder as will best promote public interest.
If alternates are included in the bidding documents, the Office reserves the right to accept or reject any or all alternates. The lowest bid will be determined by the sum of the base bid and, where applicable, the accepted alternates and/or unit pricing in the manner prescribed on the Bid Form.
If alternate base bids are indicated in the bidding documents, the low bid will be determined by the lowest amount bid for any of the alternate base bids.
Notice to Bidders / June 2026 15
The Office reserves the right to reject any or all bids, and advertise for new bids, if in its opinion the best interest of the Office will hereby be promoted. In the event that all bids are rejected, each bidder will be so notified.
No later than 45 days after the bid opening, the Office shall accept bids or reject all bids. Written notification of acceptance with the final Contract shall be emailed or delivered to the selected bidder. If the selected bidder fails to execute and return the Contract with the bidder's Performance Bond, Labor and Material Bond, and Certificate of Insurance, within ten days of receipt of notification, the Office shall have the right to reject the bid and select next lowest bidder. In this case, the Bid Security of the first bidder shall be forfeit.
INFORMALITIES
Any bid which fails to conform to the requirements of the Bidding and Contract Documents may be rejected.
The Commissioner or Commissioner’s Representative reserves the right to waive as an informality any irregularity contained in any bid or afford the bidder an opportunity to remedy any deficiency resulting from a minor irregularity.
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
If the value of this contract exceeds $25,000, no later than seven days after being notified of the award of the contract, the Bidder shall submit an Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement on a form to be provided by the Office.
