execution of the contract. This contract is anticipated to not exceed a total of $300,000.00

+ any applicable Washington State Sales Tax (WSST).

The successful respondent may be precluded from competing for, or participating in,

subsequent contracts that are the direct result of or primarily generated by, the work

performed under the contract resulting from this procurement.

The NWSA has applied for and was awarded the Port of Tacoma Husky Terminal

Expansion Part 1, 23 PIDP federal grant administered by MARAD. All work must be

performed in accordance with associated grant requirements. Therefore, the contract that

results from this RFQ will be subject to the NWSA Terms and Conditions found in

“Attachment B” and the Federal Terms and Conditions found in “Attachment C” .

sections you consider onerous, clarify why you consider these sections onerous, propose

alternative language.

SOQs submitted with altered or conditioned Terms and Conditions without prior written

agreement from the NWSA will be considered non-responsive and not considered for

evaluation.
