The procurement opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the solicitation includes provisions encouraging workforce diversity and living wage considerations. Contractors are encouraged to pay employees at or above the current living wage of $18.45 per hour and comply with anti-discrimination policies and sexual harassment prevention training. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with various insurance and regulatory standards typical of municipal government procurement processes. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, potential bidders must meet comprehensive qualification requirements, including maintaining proper documentation, adhering to NYSDOT standards, and possessing the necessary equipment for material loading and transportation. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the contract will be awarded based on the most economically advantageous proposal, with a focus on net cost and material quality.
