Notice to bidders

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 Legislative Law and State Finance Law, which regulate lobbying on government procurements. It creates two new sections in the State Finance Law that restrict contacts, require disclosure of certain contacts, and address the responsibility of bidders and proposers, during the procurement process. These sections are effective as of January 1, 2006.

COMPLIANCE WITH NEW YORK STATE'S STATE FINANCE LAW SECTIONS 139-j AND 139-k, is made part of all solicitation packages in compliance with the Lobbying Law.  For additional information, all Bidders/Proposers are urged to access the New York State Office of General Services website or call 518-474-5607.

Submission of a response to this RFEI shall not constitute a guarantee of participation in, or award of, any future solicitation. Failure to respond to this RFEI shall not preclude participation in any subsequent Invitation for Bids or Request for Proposals.

For planning purposes, upon receipt and review of Expressions of Interest, LIRR may contact qualified respondents to schedule discussions. Information obtained through these discussions may be used by LIRR to refine the TS and determine whether to proceed with a formal solicitation.
