It is the intent of the Authority to continue providing the same type of benefits currently offered to the Authority’s employees.

Your primary rate/fee proposal and schedule of benefits (so marked) must take into account the Authority’s desire to provide the same type of benefits. We will or soon will be in labor negotiations and we are not authorized to adjust benefits at this stage. Proposers may, however, submit secondary (so marked) and tertiary (so marked) rate/fee proposals that improve the rate/fee structure and we will review them with our various unions during collective bargaining. You must be very clear in your proposal submissions in identifying the adjustments you are proposing for your secondary and tertiary proposals that allow for improvements in rates/fees.
