ATTESTATION REGARDING CONFLICTS ON


AUTHORITY PROCUREMENTS

The Authority has established the following guidelines for your information and use if you elect to
participate in our procurement process either as a prime consultant or any tier subconsultant. Such
guidelines are required to be reviewed. Your signature on this supplement affirms that you agree and attest
that you have read these requirements and that you will abide with these requirements.
Scoping consultants are not precluded from proposing on the design of any project as long as the
documentation produced for the scope of that project is part of the RFP or made available to all
proposers under the design contract.
Scoping consultants are not precluded from proposing on the Construction Administration and
Inspection (CA&I) contract for a particular project as long as they have not participated in the
associated design (except as described in the guideline below) phase of the project.
Design consultants are precluded from proposing on the CA&I contract of the same project. The
exception to this guideline is as follows: a firm that participated in the design up to the 10% stage of
the project as a subconsultant and who desires to propose on the CA&I contract shall be required to
contract with an entity to inspect that portion of the design in which they were involved. In this
instance, the former subconsultant who intends to participate as the primary firm must request a
waiver of this guideline as part of its Expression of Interest (EOI) submission.
Consultants performing a Study or Investigation are not precluded from proposing on the design
phase of the project as long as the documentation produced under that (study, investigation, etc.)
contract is part of the design RFP or made available to all proposers during the design solicitation

RFP____________________________

NEW YORK STATE LOBBYING LAW OF 2005

Chapter 1 of the Laws of 2005, as amended by Chapter 596 of the Laws of 2005 (collectively
referred to as the Lobbying Law) makes major changes to the development of procurement
contracts with government entities, including the Authority. The Lobbying Law amends the
New York State Legislative Law and the New York State Finance Law relative to lobbying
and/or other contacts with government agencies on behalf of bidders or proposers (collectively
referred to as offerers) concerning government procurement initiatives. Specifically, the
Lobbying Law created two new sections in the State Finance Law (the New State Finance
Law): Section 139-j, which restricts the types of contacts that offerers may make to a
governmental entity during the procurement process; and Section 139-k, which requires that
offerers disclose prior findings of non-responsibility based either upon violations of Section 139-
j of the State Finance Law or for having provided false or incomplete information to a
governmental entity.

RFQ-4; Supplement (Lobby Law), COMPLIANCE WITH NEW YORK STATE


FINANCE LAW SECTIONS 139-j AND 139-k, Disclosure of Prior Non-Responsibility
Determinations Form and Bidders/Proposers Affirmation and Certifcation, is attached and
made part of this solicitation package in compliance with the requirements of the New State
Finance Law. The proposer shall complete RFQ-4; Supplement (Lobby Law) forms and submit
them with your proposal. Failure to complete and submit both forms shall result in a
determination of non-responsiveness and may disqualify the proposal, thereby precluding the
Authority from awarding the contract to the proposer.

For additional information, all offerers are urged to contact the New York State Office of
General Services at (518) 474-5607, or via their website at:
http://ogs.state.ny.us/aboutOgs/regulations/defaultAdvisoryCouncil.asp.

COMPLIANCE WITH NEW YORK STATE FINANCE LAW
SECTIONS 139-j and 139-k

NEW YORK STATE FINANCE LAW SECTION 139-j RESTRICTIONS ON


CONTACTS DURING THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS

Effective January 1, 2006, all procurements by the Authority in excess of $15,000 annually, are
subject to the requirements of Sections 139-j and 139-k of the New York State Finance Law.

Section 139-j of the State Finance Law restricts the extent and nature of contacts that
bidders/proposers (a/k/a offerers) may make or initiate with the Authority concerning a
procurement while that procurement is pending. Section 139-j, subdivision 3 of the State
Finance Law requires that offerers shall make only permissible contacts (defined as oral, written
or electronic communications with the Authority intended to influence an procurement) with the
Authority concerning a procurement, by contacting the designated point of contact only, except
in certain designated cases including the submission of written proposals in response to a
solicitation, submission of written questions to the designated contact person when all such
written questions and responses thereto are to disseminated to all other offerers who have
expressed interest in the procurement, or communications related to contract negotiations after
being notified of the tentative award of a procurement.

Section 139-j, subdivision 6 of the State Finance Law requires that the Authority incorporate a
summary of the policy concerning permissible contacts during procurements into all solicitations
of proposals or bid documents or specifications for procurement contracts subject to the
requirements of Sections 139-j and 139-k of the State Finance Law. Further, the Authority is
required to obtain written affirmations from all offerers that they understand and agree to comply
with the policy relative to permissible contacts during a governmental procurement.

Section 139-j, subdivision 8 of the State Finance Law requires that members, officers and
employees of the Authority report violations of the policy regarding permissible contacts by
offerers to the appropriate official responsible for reviewing or investigating such matters. A
finding that an offerer knowingly and willingly violated the requirements of Section 139-j may
result in a determination of non-responsibility, thereby making the offerer and its subsidiaries,
affiliates and related entities ineligible for award of the contract. Subsequent determinations of
non-responsibility based upon a violation of Section 139-j of the State Finance Law will result in
the offerer being ineligible to submit a bid or proposal on any future procurement contract for a
period of four (4) years. Finally, the Authority is required to notify the New York State Office of
General Services (OGS) of any determinations of non-responsibility or debarments due to
violations of Section 139-j of the State Finance Law which, in turn, will be listed by OGS.

NEW YORK STATE FINANCE LAW SECTION 139-k

DISCLOSURE OF CONTACTS AND PRIOR NON-REPONSIBILITY


DETERMINATIONS

Section 139-k, subdivision 2 of the State Finance Law requires that the Authority obtain specific
information from offerers concerning prior non-responsibility determinations due to either (a) a
violation of the requirements of State Finance Law Section 139-j or (b) an offerers having
intentionally provided false or incomplete information to a governmental entity. Section 139-k,
subdivision 3 of the State Finance Law further requires that, in determining the responsibility of
an offerer, the Authority must consider whether that offerer has failed to disclose accurate or
complete information concerning prior non-responsibility determinations as required by Section
139-k, subdivision 2 of the State Finance Law. Further, except under certain circumstances, the
Authority may not award any procurement contract to any offerer that fails to timely disclose
accurate or complete information as required under Section 139-k, subdivision 2 of the State
Finance Law.
