Advertisement Date: 4/3/2024

Proposal Due Date: 4/17/2024

The Delaware River Port Authority (“Authority”) hereby seeks firms to submit Proposals

for professional services for the Affirmative Action Plans (AAP) for DRPA and PATCO.

One (1) electronic copy of the Proposal, along with other technical and commercial

documents shall be submitted, via the Authority’s SAP Ariba Network, no later than 2:00

p.m. EST by Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

The work to be completed under this contract consists of developing an Affirmative Action

Plan for DRPA and PATCO.

All contract specific documents relevant to the RFP can be found on the Authority’s

SAP Ariba Network site. In order to participate in this RFP and receive an invitation

to the solicitation event, please send a request, via e-mail, to the following

Contracting Officer: Amy L. Ash at alash@drpa.org. If a response is not received

within two (2) business days, please resend the request and copy vendors@drpa.org

on your e-mail.

In order to access the RFP documents, you must be registered on the Ariba

Network and have completed the Authority's supplier registration questionnaire. If

you have not already done so, you can register on the Ariba Network at any time.

Registration is free, quick and easy. Please go to the DRPA Procurement website:

http://www.drpa.org/procurement for registration instructions and additional

information. For questions about the Ariba registration process or registration

technical issues, please send an e-mail to vendors@drpa.org.

The Authority will consider only those Proposals received from parties who have obtained

the RFP and contract documents directly from the Authority. Contract documents are not

transferable to other parties for proposal purposes. Proposals received from firms whose

names are not recorded by the Authority as having secured documents for this Project

will be rejected.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

The Delaware River Port Authority is firmly committed to providing full and equal business

opportunities to all persons regardless of race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual

orientation, marital status, civil union and domestic partnership status, gender identity or

expression, pregnancy, breast feeding, military services, veteran status, national origin,

ancestry, age, non-job related disability, genetic information or testing results, income

level, limited English proficiency (“LEP”) or other protected group characteristic. In that

regard, the Delaware River Port Authority will affirmatively assure that minority and

female-owned business enterprises are afforded equal opportunities to submit bids and/or

proposals for consideration for all purchases and contracts issued in connection with this

project. Prospective proposers should understand that the participation of certified MBEs

and WBEs is a matter of great interest in the evaluation of all proposals.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION AND DUE DATE

Responses to this RFP must be submitted electronically via the Ariba Network, no

later than 2:00 p.m. EST by Wednesday, April 17, 2024 (“Proposal Due Date”).

LATE, FAXED, E-MAILED, AND/OR HARDCOPIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. The

Proposal Due Date and Ariba submission requirements are mandatory and non-

waivable.

You should ensure that you can access and upload files in Ariba prior to the

submission deadline. It is the proposer’s responsibility to ensure delivery of its Proposal

to the proper place at the proper time. Absent an emergency or unanticipated event that

interrupts normal Authority processes so that Proposals cannot be received via Ariba by

the exact time specified in the RFP, the Authority will not extend the submission deadline

for an interested firm due to its technical difficulties.

The DRPA has established a Single Point of Contact for this solicitation. From the issue

date of this advertisement and until full execution of the Contract Agreement, the Single

Point of Contact shall be the Contract Administrator whose name and contact information

appears below. Please refer all inquiries related to the Project, including Ariba technical

issues to the Contract Administrator.

Any violation of this condition (excluding any Ariba supplier registration questions, which

should be addressed by e-mailing vendors@drpa.org) may be cause for the DRPA to

reject the offending Proposal or rescind the Contract Award. Proposers agree not to

distribute any part of their Proposals beyond the Authority’s Contract Administration

Department. A proposer that shares information contained in its Proposal with other

DRPA personnel and/or with a competing proposer may be disqualified and its Proposal

may be rejected.
