of incomplete documents, by Bidder itself or by its prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers.
2.02 Bidding Documents are made available for the sole purpose of obtaining Bids for completion of
the Project and permission to download or distribution of the Bidding Documents does not confer
a license or grant permission or authorization for any other use. Authorization to download
documents, or other distribution, includes the right for plan holders to print documents solely for
their use, and the use of their prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers, provided the plan holder
pays all costs associated with printing or reproduction. Printed documents may not be re-sold under
any circumstances.
2.03 Bidder may register as a plan holder and obtain complete sets of Bidding Documents, in the number
and format stated in the Advertisement or invitation to bid, from the Issuing Office. Bidders may

C. The law defines a "contractor" as any entity entering into a contract to perform construction,
demolition, reconstruction, excavation, rehabilitation, repair, installation, renovation,
alteration, or custom fabrication. The law defines "subcontractor" as any entity subcontracting
with a contractor to perform construction, demolition, reconstruction, excavation,
rehabilitation, repair, installation, renovation, alteration, or custom fabrication, which is
subject to Article 8 of the Labor Law. Contractors are responsible for verifying that any
subcontractors they work with are registered.

covered project on or after December 30, 2024. Subcontractors need to register before
commencing new work on a covered project on or after December 30, 2024. NYSDOL

Certificate of Registration to avoid negatively impacting a bidding period or project schedule.
