The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is seeking expert professional integrity monitoring services for facility infrastructure projects through RFP #6000001251, with services to be provided on a "call-in" basis from 2023 through 2028. The procurement targets comprehensive integrity monitoring services primarily for infrastructure projects at John F. Kennedy International Airport, with construction project values ranging from $10 million to $600 million. Proposing firms must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in integrity monitoring services and at least two years of experience on two construction projects exceeding $10 million. Evaluation criteria will focus on staff qualifications, firm experience, management approach, and potential conflicts of interest, with cost considered as a secondary factor. The proposal submission deadline was originally set for January 24, 2023, with a virtual pre-proposal meeting held on January 10, 2023, and the Port Authority reserving the right to extend the agreement for two additional one-year terms, potentially creating a maximum eight-year contract period.

The Port Authority has established specific diversity goals for this procurement, including 20% participation for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), 10% for Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE), and 3% for Service-disabled Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (SDVOB). Proposers must submit a detailed Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned Business Participation Plan, with certified firms encouraged to engage subconsultants to the maximum extent feasible. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including $5 million in Commercial General Liability Insurance, $5 million in Automobile Liability Insurance, Workers' Compensation, and $5 million in Professional Liability Insurance. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the contract will operate on a task order basis, with awards made to the highest-rated firms offering the best value to the Port Authority. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire platform, with technical support available via email at askforbids@panynj.gov or by phone at (212) 435-4600.
