Detailed Scope of What is Needed: Commodity Services

1. Project Overview The project consists of furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to install three groundwater monitoring wells within the boundaries of Watkins Glen State Park for water-level and quality monitoring purposes. The wells will support a multi-year groundwater monitoring program led by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The exact well locations within the park boundary are to be located within the zones identified in Attachment A. OPRHP recommends a site visit to fully understand the current terrain and access constraints, which will determine suitable drilling equipment.

The contractor shall complete the installation in accordance with:

USGS groundwater monitoring well specifications (provided) Applicable state environmental regulations Best practices for hydrogeological drilling and monitoring well construction State Park environmental protection requirements

The contractor will not install water quality monitoring instruments; USGS personnel will install them after the well is completed.

Gender-Based Violence and the Workplace Certification Vendor Name:

New York State Finance Law §139-M requires bidders on competitive state procurements to certify that they have a written policy addressing gender-based violence and the workplace and that such policy meets the following minimum requirements:

● Share Information: Employers must provide information regarding gender-based violence where employees can see and access it, including displaying the NYS Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline information and a gender-based violence and the workplace poster.

● Refer Employee-Survivors to Services: The policy must require that the employer refer employees who disclose current or past victim status to the NYS Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline and/or a local service provider. For bidders outside of New York State, referrals should be made to a local provider or statewide hotline. While referrals are required to be provided by the employer, it is not required for the employee to access services.

● Prohibit Retaliation: The policy must clearly state that discrimination or retaliation against employees who identify as victims or survivors of gender-based violence is prohibited.

● Comply with Laws: Ensure your policy follows State law. For employers based in New York State, this means that the policy must follow the New York State Human Rights Law, and any other relevant laws and regulations, which may include the SAFE Leave Act.

● Offer Implementation Support: OPDV is able to assist employers in developing and implementing this policy.

Employers must provide information to supervisors and human resources, where available, about this technical assistance from OPDV. OPDV can be contacted at workplace@opdv.ny.gov.

By submission of this bid, each bidder and each person signing on behalf of any bidder certifies, and in the case of a joint bid each party thereto certifies as to its own organization, under penalty of perjury, that the bidder has and has implemented a written policy addressing gender-based violence and the workplace and has provided such policy to all of its employees, directors and board members. Such policy shall, at a minimum, meet the requirements of subdivision 11 of section five hundred seventy-five of the executive law.
