13. Aid to Bidders As used herein, Snowfall Recorded shall be the snowfall as officially recorded by the National Weather Service (NWS) at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).

PART II – CONTRACT SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS PART II - 5

available to the Port Authority may be utilized by the Manager to determine the recorded snowfall at the Teleport. If the Snowfall Recorded by such alternate official weather source differs from the snowfall recorded by the NWS at EWR by an amount equal to or greater than four inches (4”), then the snowfall recorded by such alternate official weather source will be used. If such difference is less than four inches (4”), then the Snowfall Recorded by the NWS at EWR shall be used. The Snowfall Recorded at the Teleport for several Snow Seasons (as defined in Part V, Specifications) is provided below:

2016-17 -------- 30.0 inches 2017-18 -------- 39.4 inches 2018-19 -------- 22.0 inches 2019-20 -------- 19.8 inches 2020-21 -------- 14.6 inches 2021-22 -------- 34 inches 2022-23 -------- 17.8 inches 2023-24 -------- 2.6 inches

The Port Authority makes no representation, guarantee or warranty that the prior recorded snowfall amounts provided herein are accurate or complete or that such information is pertinent or of any value to Bidders. These amounts are made available to the Bidders merely for informational purposes only. Bidders should carefully examine and study the entire contents of this document and make their own determinations as to materials and equipment to be supplied and all other things required to be done by the Contractor. The inclusion of the foregoing information by the Port Authority shall not create or be deemed to create any obligation or liability upon it for any reason whatsoever and each Bidder, by submitting its Bid hereunder, hereby expressly agrees that it has not relied upon the foregoing information and shall not hold the Port Authority liable or responsible therefor.

PART III – CONTRACT SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. General Agreement Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Contract, the undersigned (the “Contractor”) hereby offers and agrees to provide all the necessary supervision, personnel, equipment, materials and all other things necessary to perform the Work required by this Contract as specified in Part II, and fully set forth in the Part V (the “Specifications”), at the location(s) listed in Part II and as more fully set forth in the Specifications, and to do all other things necessary or proper therefor or incidental thereto, all in strict accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents and any future changes therein; and the Contractor further agrees to assume and perform all other duties and obligations imposed upon it by this Contract.

In addition, all things not expressly mentioned in the Specifications but involved in the carrying out of their intent and in the complete and proper execution of the matters referred to in and required by this Contract are required by the Specifications, and the Contractor shall perform the same as though they were specifically delineated, described and mentioned therein.

2. Duration

a) The initial term of this Contract (the “Base Term”) shall commence on the specific date set forth in the Port Authority’s written notice of bid acceptance (the “Commencement Date”), on or about the date specified in Part II hereof, and unless otherwise terminated or revoked in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall expire as specified in Part II hereof. The Port Authority shall have the right to extend this Contract for additional period(s), either through an extension or option(s), as follows:

i) If specified as applicable to this Contract and set forth in Part II hereof, the Port Authority shall have the right to extend this Contract for additional period(s), through exercising an option(s) (the “Option Period(s)”) following the expiration of the Base Term, upon the same terms and conditions subject only to adjustments of charges, if applicable to this Contract, as may be hereinafter provided in the paragraph entitled “Price Adjustments.” If the Port Authority elects to exercise the Option Period(s) to extend this Contract, then, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Base Term or current Option Period, the Port Authority shall send a notice that it is extending the term of this Contract, and this Contract shall thereupon be extended for the applicable Option Period. If the Contract provides for more than one Option Period, the same procedure shall apply with regard to extending the term of this Contract for succeeding Option Periods.

ii) Unless specified as not applicable to this Contract in Part II hereof, the Port Authority shall have the absolute right to extend the term for an additional period of up to one hundred and twenty (120) days subsequent to the expiration date of the Base Term, or the expiration date of the final exercised Option Period (the “Extension Period”), subject to the same terms and conditions as the previous

PART III – CONTRACT SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS PART III - 3

Rev. 7.2024 (PA)

Contract period. The prices quoted by the Contractor for the previous Contract period shall remain in effect during this Extension Period without adjustment, unless otherwise provided in the Contract. If it so elects to extend the term of Contract, the Port Authority will advise the Contractor, in writing, that the term is so extended, and will stipulate the length of the Extension Period, at least thirty

(30) days prior to the expiration date of the previous Contract period.

3. Payment Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Contract, the Port Authority agrees to pay to the Contractor and the Contractor agrees to accept from the Port Authority as full and complete consideration for the performance of all its obligations under this Contract and as sole compensation for the Work performed by the Contractor hereunder, a compensation calculated from the actual quantities of services performed and the respective prices inserted by the Contractor in the Pricing Sheet(s), forming a part of this Contract, exclusive of compensation under the clause hereof entitled “Extra Work”. The manner of submission of all bills for payment to the Contractor by the Port Authority for Work rendered under this Contract shall be subject to the approval of the Manager in all respects, including, but not limited to, format, breakdown of items presented and verifying records. All computations made by the Contractor and all billing and billing procedures shall be done in conformance with the following procedures:

a) Payment shall be made in accordance with the prices for the applicable Work

(during the applicable Contract year) as they appear on the Pricing Sheet(s), as the same may be adjusted from time to time as specified herein, minus any deductions for Work not performed and/or any liquidated damages to which the invoice may be subject and/or any adjustments as may be required pursuant to increases and decreases in areas, frequencies, or quantity of personnel, if applicable. All Work must be completed within the time frames specified, or as designated by the Manager.

Unless otherwise notified by the Port Authority to submit invoices via the Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) portal, for which instruction would be provided, invoices are to be sent to:

Al-Tarik Johnson altjohnson@panynj.gov 5 Teleport Drive, Staten Island, NY 10311

b) For each month that the Contract is in effect during the Snow Season, which is defined in the Specifications, the Contractor shall invoice at one-sixth (1/6) of the Lump Sum Compensation price inserted on the Pricing Sheets for the appropriate Contract year, payment of which is subject to the Port Authority’s approval, as set forth in Part V, Section entitled “Lump Sum Compensation.”

c) For each one-tenth (1/10) of an inch of recorded snowfall that is removed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall invoice at the price inserted on the Pricing Sheets under “All-Inclusive Unit Price Per 1/10th Inch”.

mailto:altjohnson@panynj.gov

d) For Supplemental Work, the Contractor shall invoice at the Hourly Rate inserted on the Pricing Sheets for the applicable services rendered.

e) The Contractor shall submit to the Manager by the fifth day of each month following the month of commencement of this Contract and on or by the fifth day of each month thereafter (including the month following the termination, revocation or expiration of this Contract) a complete and correct invoice for the Work performed during the preceding month accompanied by such information as may be required by the Manager for verification. The invoice must show the Contractor's Federal Tax Identification Number. Payment will be made within thirty (30) days of Port Authority verification of the invoice.

f) No certificate, payment, acceptance of any Work or any other act or omission of any representative of the Port Authority shall operate to: (1) release the Contractor from any obligation under or upon this Contract; (2) estop the Port Authority from showing at any time that such certificate, payment, acceptance, act or omission was incorrect; or (3) preclude the Port Authority from recovering any monies (a) paid in excess of those lawfully due or (b) to which the Port Authority may be entitled on account of any damage sustained by the Port Authority.

g) In the event an audit of received invoices should indicate that the correct sum due the Contractor for the relevant billing period is less than the amount actually paid by the Port Authority, the Contractor shall pay to the Port Authority the difference promptly upon receipt of the Port Authority’s statement thereof. The Port Authority may, however, in its discretion elect to deduct said sum or sums from any subsequent monthly payments payable to the Contractor hereunder.

“Final Payment,” as the term is used throughout this Contract, means the final payment made for services rendered in the last month of the term of this Contract (the “Last Month”) whether such Last Month occurs during the Base Term, or any Option Period or Extension Period. However, should this Contract be terminated for any reason prior to any such Last Month, then Final Payment shall be the payment made for services rendered in the month during which such termination becomes effective. The Contractor’s acceptance of Final Payment shall act as a full and complete release to the Port Authority of all claims of and of all liability to the Contractor for all things done or furnished in connection with this Contract and for every act and neglect of the Port Authority and others relating to or arising out of this Contract, including claims arising out of breach of contract and claims based on claims of third persons. No payment, however, final or otherwise shall operate to release the Contractor from any obligations in connection with this Contract.

4. Price Adjustment All Contract prices submitted by the Contractor and agreed to by The Port Authority, shall be applicable to the Base Term. For the Option Period(s) that are applicable to this Contract and are exercised hereunder, (excluding the 120-day Extension Period, if applicable, as described in the paragraph entitled “Duration” in Part III, hereof) The Port Authority shall adjust the compensation due to the Contractor utilizing the Consumer Price Index for CPI-All Urban Consumers (Current Series) as follows:

Series Id: C UURS12ASA0L2,CUUSS12ASA0L2 Not Seasonally Adjusted

Series Title: All items less shelter in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA, all urban consumers, not seasonally adjusted Area: New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA Item: All items less shelter Base Period:1982-84=100, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (hereinafter called the “Price Index”).

For the one-year Option Period of the Contract, the Price Index shall be determined for the months of July 2026 and July 2027. The amounts payable to the Contractor in the Base Term shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the Price Index for July 2027 and the denominator of which is the Price Index for July 2026. The resulting product shall be the amounts payable to the Contractor in the one-year Option Period.

In the event of a change in the basis for the computation of the said Index or the discontinuance of its publication, such other appropriate index shall be substituted as may be agreed upon by the Authority and the Contractor as…
