In addition, and as part of the procurement for the Contract, the MTA intends to enter into a separate contract to provide for the long-term maintenance of the new elevators. Respondents that are selected in the first step of the solicitation, the Request for Qualification (“RFQ”) process, will be eligible to participate in the upcoming second step, the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process. MTA C&D intends to award a design-build contract and a maintenance contract at the end of the RFP process.
