<p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>Through this RFQ series, NYCHA is administering a pilot procurement that introduces a streamlined bid submission and evaluation process, differing from NYCHA's conventional solicitation procedures. The pilot is intended to simplify the solicitation process for responding bidders while supporting NYCHA's ongoing efforts to strengthen competition, improve efficiency, and enhance transparency within the Authority's procurement process.</span></span></p><p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>At the time of RFQ closing, responding bidders will only be required to submit the minimum documentation identified in the solicitation. Following bid opening, NYCHA will evaluate bid pricing and identify the apparent low bidder(s). During the evaluation process, NYCHA will request additional required documentation only from the apparent low bidder(s), or other bidder(s) as necessary, to complete the responsibility and responsiveness review. Bidders should not submit documents beyond the minimum required unless specifically requested by the Authority.</span></span></p><p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>For a complete description of the pilot process, including bidder submission requirements and evaluation phases, please refer to the attachment titled 'Pilot  Solicitation Bid Submission & Evaluation Process  Standpipe Sprinkler Inspections (RFQs 524258, 525258, 525259, and 525260)' available with this RFQ in iSupplier.</span></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for Visual Inspection of Fire Standpipe and Sprinkler Systems At Various NYCHA Developments Citywide with Brooklyn.</span></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>Contract Term: 3 years from the award date on NYCHAs Purchase Order.  NYCHA, in its sole discretion, shall have the option to extend the Term of this Contract for up to two one-year renewal options.</span></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>This Solicitation is not subject to an existing PQL or PLA.</span></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>Section 3 REO: Section 3 REO Plans must be submitted via eComply, https://nycha.ecomply.us/.
