The Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) program requirements have been waived for this procurement. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including $5,000,000 in general liability insurance, $1,000,000 in automobile liability insurance, statutory workers' compensation coverage, and $3,000,000 in excess umbrella liability insurance. Additional requirements include obtaining an executed Indemnity Agreement, providing proof of insurance, conducting background checks and fingerprinting for personnel with facility access, and complying with confidentiality requirements. The contract will be a firm-fixed price agreement with potential for unanticipated tasks not exceeding five percent of the total agreement value, calculated on a time-and-materials basis with prior FTB Work Authorization approval. No travel expenses will be reimbursable, and all bid preparation costs are the sole responsibility of the bidder. The State of New York prevailing wage rates for New York County will apply for moving furniture and equipment classifications, which may impact the overall contract value and bidder pricing strategy.
