The Delaware River Port Authority is firmly committed to providing full and equal business opportunities to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, or non-job-related disability. 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 bidders should understand that the participation of certified DBEs and SBEs is a matter of great interest in the evaluation of all bids. To that end, the DRPA has established DBE and SBE goals for this project. DBE and SBE team members must be named, and commitment levels must be noted at the time the bid is submitted. Contractors should ensure that they can access and upload files in Ariba prior to the submission deadline. It is the Bidder's responsibility to ensure delivery of its Bid to the proper place at the proper time. Absent an emergency or unanticipated event that interrupts normal Authority processes so that Bids cannot be received via Ariba by the exact time specified in the ITB, the Authority will not extend the submission deadline for an interested firm due to technical difficulties.
