All bids must be made on Long Island Power Authority bidding sheets only.

The Authority reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to waive any informality in any bid, and to accept the bid of the highest responsible bidder, as determined by LIPA after all bids and bidders have been examined and checked.

In accordance with Section 112 of the New York State Finance Law (the “State Finance Law”), this Agreement shall not be valid, effective or binding upon LIPA until it has been approved by the State Comptroller and filed in his office.

Pursuant to State Finance Law sections 139-j and 139-k, this Bid includes and imposes certain restrictions on communications between LIPA and Proposers during the procurement process. A Bidder is restricted from making “Contacts” (i.e., an oral, written or electronic communications which a reasonable person would infer as an attempt to unduly influence the award, denial, or amendment of a contract) from issuance of the Bid through final award and approval of the resulting Procurement Contract by LIPA and the Office of the State Comptroller (“restricted period”) to any LIPA staff (or consultants) other than as designated herein, or to any LIPA Board member, unless it is a contact that is included among certain statutory exemptions as set forth in State Finance Law section 139-j(3) (a). LIPA’s designated contacts for this, as of the date hereof, are William Funk, Contract Specialist 516-719-9235 and Michael Standridge, Director of Corporate Contracts and Procurement 516-719-8620. LIPA employees other than the designated contact are required to obtain and document certain information when contacted during the restricted period. Such Contacts will be considered by LIPA when making a determination of the responsibility of the Bidder pursuant to these two statutes. Certain findings of non-responsibility can result in rejection for contract award, and in the event of two findings within a 4-year period, the Bidder is debarred from obtaining governmental Procurement Contracts. Further information about these requirements will be provided via separate addenda to this Bid.
