3.) Information to supplement a) data shown in the financial statements and the statement of work on hand required to be submitted with the Bid; and b) any statement submitted under the clauses hereof entitled "Certification of No

Investigation (Criminal or Civil Anti-Trust), Indictment, Conviction, Suspension, Debarment, Disqualification, Prequalification Denial or Termination, Etc.; Disclosure of Other Required Information", "Certification of Participation in a State-Registered

Apprenticeship Program" or "Non-Collusive Bidding and Code of Ethics

Certification; Certification of No Solicitation Based on Commission, Percentage, Brokerage, Contingent Fee or Other Fee".

4.) Moreover, in the event that the bidder's performance on a past Port Authority or

PATH contract or contracts has been rated less than satisfactory (e.g., received a

Performance Evaluation rating of Marginal or Unsatisfactory) within three years prior to submission of his Bid, the Chief Engineer, or his or her designee, may request the bidder furnish information demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Chief

Engineer, or his or her designee, that, notwithstanding such rating, the root cause of the adverse performance has been identified and definitively corrected or the circumstances giving rise to the rating have changed and will not reoccur.

5.) If the bidder has performed a contract for the States of New York or New Jersey, or any governmental entity within such States and has filed a questionnaire or other document required to be submitted in order for the bidder to qualify to perform the contract, the bidder may be requested by the Chief Engineer to submit the most recent completed questionnaire or other such document, or if the most recent completed questionnaire or other such document is not available, to submit a written statement indicating the approximate date of the contract and the name of the governmental entity which awarded them the contract.

6.) Any additional information relevant to the bidder's Bid including information to supplement the bidder's Analysis of Bid.

7.) The bidder shall submit a complete Background Qualification Questionnaire (BQQ), required for himself and all subcontractors and vendors known to the bidder at the time of submission of Bids, who will be providing services under this Contract, if the value of such subcontract is anticipated to be greater than or equal to $100,000. This document and instructions for submitting the completed BQQ to the Authority's

Office of Inspector General can be obtained at the Authority's website through the following link:

https://www.panynj.gov/port-authority/en/help-center/oig.html

In the event that any of the foregoing in B. above is requested and is not furnished within seven days thereafter or as otherwise indicated, or within such additional time as the Chief Engineer, in his sole discretion, may allow, the Authority may not be in a position to determine whether the bidder is qualified, whether the bidder understands the requirements of the contract or whether the bid is responsive and may, in its sole discretion, reject the bidder's Bid.

In the event that the Chief Engineer or his or her designee finds, in his or her sole discretion, that the bidder has not satisfactorily demonstrated that the circumstances surrounding a Marginal or

Unsatisfactory Performance Evaluation rating have been successfully mitigated, the Authority may determine that award to the bidder is not in the best interest of the Authority and may, in its sole discretion, remove the bidder from consideration for award. In making such a determination, the Chief

Engineer or his or her designee may initiate a hearing at which time the Contractor will have to demonstrate to a committee of Port Authority staff that the circumstances leading to the Marginal or

Unsatisfactory Performance Evaluation rating have been mitigated and that the factors that led to the rating are no longer applicable. The determination of the Chief Engineer or his or her designee will be conclusive.

The giving of such notice to the bidder in connection with any of the foregoing lists, statement or information shall not be construed as an acceptance of his Bid. However, the Authority reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept the Bid of a bidder despite the fact that said bidder has not submitted any information, list or statement required pursuant to this Section within the above-stated time period.

5. ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF BID

Within ninety (90) days after the opening of the Bids, the Authority will accept one of the Bids, if it accepts any. Award will be made to the responsible bidder that submits the lowest responsive, technically qualified Bid. The Authority reserves the unqualified right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject all

Bids or to waive defects in any Bids.

https://www.panynj.gov/port-authority/en/help-center/oig.html

The acceptance of a Bid will be made only by mailing to or delivering at the office designated in the Bid a notice in writing specifically indicating acceptance signed by an authorized representative on behalf of the

Authority who is at present the Authority's Chief Procurement Officer. No other act of the Authority, its

Commissioners, officers, agents, or employees shall constitute acceptance of a Bid. Such notice will state whether or not the Authority elects to require the bidder to furnish a Performance and Payment Bond.

Rejection of a Bid will be made only by either (a) a notice in writing specifically stating that the Bid is rejected, signed by an authorized representative on behalf of the Authority who is at present the

Authority's Chief Procurement Officer and mailed to or delivered at the office designated in the Bid or (b) omission by the Authority to accept a Bid within ninety (90) days after the opening of Bids; and no other act of the Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents or employees shall constitute rejection of a Bid, including any counter offer or other act of the Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents or employees.

In the event that a successful bidder defaults upon the Contract by failing to furnish a satisfactory

Performance and Payment Bond, if required, and the Authority terminates the Contract, the Authority reserves the option to accept the next lowest responsive, technically qualified Bid of any other bidder within ninety (90) days after the opening of Bids, in which case such acceptance shall have the same effect as to such next bidder as though he were the originally successful bidder.

6. RETURN OF CERTIFIED CHECKS

Within ten (10) days after the opening of the Bids the Authority will return all certified checks deposited by bidders, except those deposited by three bidders to be selected by the Authority, which will be returned within three days after one Bid is accepted by the Authority; or if a Performance and Payment Bond is required, within three days after a satisfactory Performance and Payment Bond is furnished to the

Authority; or if all Bids are rejected, not later than three days after such rejection. The return of a bidder's check shall not, however, be deemed to be a rejection of his Bid.

7. WEBSITE POSTINGS OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

Recipients of Contract documents marked Confidential (Privileged) may not post them or any of them to a website except in accordance with the Authority's prior written approval, which may require a written non-disclosure agreement.

Recipients of Contract documents not marked Confidential (Privileged) may not post them or any of them to a website unless the website (1) is non-public, (2) is password protected and (3) is accessible only to the recipient's prospective subcontractors and suppliers. Recipient's prospective subcontractors and suppliers shall also be deemed recipients and shall be required to conform to the terms of this numbered clause. Recipients shall be deemed to include both bidders and those who do not submit bids.

No later than 180 days after the date of receipt of Bids, all recipients shall remove all Contract documents from their websites.

8. DISPOSAL OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

All recipients of Contract documents, including bidders and those who do not bid and their prospective subcontractors and suppliers who may receive all or a part of the Contract documents or copies thereof, shall make every effort to ensure the secure and appropriate disposal of the Contract documents to prevent further disclosure of the information contained in the documents. Secure and appropriate disposal includes methods of document destruction such as shredding or arrangements with refuse handlers that ensure that third persons will not have access to the documents' contents either before, during, or after disposal. Documents may also be returned for disposal purposes to the Contract Desk on the 1st Floor, 2 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302 or the office of the Chief Procurement Officer, 4 World

10. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES PROGRAM (DBE)

A. Policy

The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and any amendments thereto apply to this Contract, including the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Interim Final Rule issued on October 3, 2025, which removed race-and sex-based presumptions of social and economic disadvantage, and provides that no DBE goals may be set until a Unified

Certification Program (UCP) completes the reevaluation process delineated in 49 CFR

26.111. It is the policy of the Port Authority to practice nondiscrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin in the award or performance of this Contract. The Port

Authority encourages participation by all firms qualifying under this solicitation regardless of business size or ownership.

B. Definitions

To avoid undue repetition, the following terms, as used in this numbered clause, shall be construed as follows:

1.) "Certification" means the process by which a business demonstrates to the

Authority's Office of Business Opportunity (OBO) or to a New York State Unified

Certification Program Certifying Partner (NYSUCP) or to a New Jersey Unified

Certification Certifying Partner (NJUCP) that it meets the requirements to be a DBE under USDOT regulations set forth in 49 CFR Part 26.

2.) "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise" or "DBE" is a for-profit small business concern

(a) that is at least 51% owned by one or more individuals who are socially and economically disadvantaged or, in the case of a corporation, in which at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more such individuals; and (b) whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more of the socially and economically disadvantaged individuals who own it.

3.) "New York State Unified Certification Program Certifying Partners" include the Port

Authority of New York and New Jersey, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the

Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and the New York State Department of

Transportation.

4.) "New Jersey Unified Certification Program Certifying Partners" include the Port

Authority of New York and New Jersey, New Jersey Transit and the New Jersey

State Department of Transportation.

5.) "Socially and economically disadvantaged individual" means any individual who is a citizen (or lawfully admitted permanent resident) of the United States and who is:

a. Any individual that OBO or a NYSUCP or NJUCP Certifying Partner finds to be a socially and economically disadvantaged individual on a case-by-case basis.

b. Any individual who is a citizen (or lawfully admitted permanent resident) of the

United States and who a certifier finds to be socially and economically disadvantaged on a case-by-case basis. A determination that an individual is socially and economically disadvantaged must not be based in whole or in part on race or sex. For that reason, all applicants shall qualify as socially and economically disadvantaged if they can meet the relevant criteria described in §

26.67. Being born in a particular country does not, standing alone, mean that a person is necessarily socially and economically disadvantaged.

C. DBE Goal

DBE Participation Goal: In accordance with 49 CFR Part 26, as amended on October 3, 2025, there is no specific DBE contracting goal required for this Contract.

OBO is responsible administering the Authority's DBE Program. OBO may be contacted at the following email and address:
