The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB FTB-2526-00540-004) soliciting qualified vendors to provide removal and disposal services for two New York field office locations. The project involves comprehensive removal and disposal of modular systems furniture, office materials, equipment, and general refuse from two suites located at 1212 Avenue of the Americas in New York.
