The standard payment terms are NET 45, with potential early payment discounts available.

The bid does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with numerous Suffolk County legislative requirements, including the Living Wage Law, non-discrimination policies, and specific reporting and disclosure requirements. Contractors are required to maintain various insurance types, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, worker's compensation, and professional liability, with specified minimum coverage amounts.
