of this bid, namely the New York State Employment Brand part?
Vendors may submit either a single bid associated with Lot Group 1 or Lot Group 2 or two (2) bids for both Lot Groups as outlined within this RFP. The vendor would be expected to provide all defined services within the lot group.
2 Will OGS allow different companies to bid on the different aspects of the RFP? Or will OGS only consider a single entity that can accomplish all five of the parts of the SOW bid, namely the New York State Employment Brand part?
Please see the response to question 1. Also note that subcontracting is allowed. See Sections 6.8 and 6.12.Consulting Services - Lot Group 2
3 Will OGS consider a consortium of several businesses organized into a single entity for the purposes of this RFP?
Please see Section 6.12
4 Do you have volumes of transaction you will be publishing?
No. Estimated number of placements and salaries has been provided with the Cost Proposal forms. Note however, that these are only estimates and that there is no guaranteed amount of work associated with these contracts.

SOLICIATION QUESTIONS OGS RESPONSE
6 During New York State’s evaluation of Proposals for RFP 1797 will additional points (or preference) be given to those companies that submit a proposal for both Talent Acquisition Services – Lot Group 1 and Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Services – Lot Group 2 or will each Lot be evaluated and awarded independently?
Each lot group will be evaluated independently
7 Will proposals be accepted that incorporate a partnership of two (or more) companies to meet the requirements of the RFP to better meet the elements of the RFP?
It would need to be a prime contractor with subcontractor(s) arrangement. See Section 6.12
8 Will proposals be accepted that utilize one company as a “lead” company and that utilizes a number of subtiers?
Yes. See Questions/Responses # 3
9 Is the selected vendor eligible to be considered as the vendor for the system implementation and integration effort?
The selected vendor (contractor) for Lot Group 2 will be precluded from bidding on any contract for eventual procurement of a system, implementation and integration .
10 What is the expected timeline of Lot 2, for the "hands-on support to the Center Director and implementation team on the design, testing, and launch of the New York State Recruitment Portal"?
It is anticipated that the management analysis outlined within the SOW for this component of Lot Group 2 services will be completed and best practice recommendations be submitted to the Center Director within one year of commencement of the contract for Lot Group 2 services.
11 What is the expected timeline for the implementation of eHR?
The status of the State's eHR initiative is at a very early stage in its development. Accordingly, any discussion regarding functionality and/or potential integration issues is very premature.
12 Is it fair to assume the state has contracted with a vendor to implement eHR? What application tool set has been selected? Is it possible to share the vendor?
See Question/Response #11
13 Would the vendor and eHR team be open to participating in software selection integration sessions?
See Question/Response #11
Page 5 of 54
14 What are the IT specific activities the vendor should include in the estimated effort to support the implementation of the NY State Recruitment Portal? Does the State plan to dedicate IT personnel to support these activities?
The SOW for this component of Lot Group 2 services is limited to a management analysis of existing websites used by state agencies and the submission of recommendations based upon this analysis and best practices in private industry and the public sector for the design and launch of a single, centralized, robust Recruitment Portal (see Section 5.3.2). Implementation activities associated with the development and actual launch of the Portal are not included.
15 Have you defined any system or process requirements beyond the high-level expectations outlined in the RFP?
Not at this time.
16 What is the expected utilization and deployment for the Center across NYS agencies? How will the state drive recruiting to the Center? Will agency participation be voluntary or mandated?
As indicated in Sections 1.1 and 5.1 of the RFP, the Center will serve as an enterprise organization that will provide talent acquisition and management services to all New York State Executive Department agencies. Guidance will be provided to state agencies regarding accessing Center services. It is expected that once the organization is fully operational, all state agencies will use the Center for its talent acquisition (recruitment) needs.
17 Will the selected application integrate with NYS' Civil Service application tracking/ exam/ assessments system(s), or will this application be expected to replace the existing civil service application tracking/ exam/ assessments processing systems?
Integration determinations will be based upon the management analysis conducted by the selected vendors as outlined within Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of the RFP.
18 Has the state selected a location/ site for the Center?
Yes. As indicated in Section 5.4 of the RFP, the Center's offices are located in the Erastus Corning II Tower Building at the Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York.
19 Will the Center be staffed with existing State personnel or will a full recruiting effort be required?
Presently the Center is staffed with existing state personnel.
20 What measures were captured during the 2010 branding initiative?
It is not clear what branding initiative is being referenced, however the state climate has changed dramatically since 2010 and data captured at that point in time would not likely be relevant today.
Page 6 of 54
21 We believe that in order to design the organization, formal business processes and roles need to be developed. Are you looking to the vendor to provide best practice processes in the recruiting space as you drive out your org structure?
Yes
22 We will need input from your subject matter experts regarding requirements and as-is processes. What is the state’s expected involvement in this program beyond providing subject matter expertise?
The Center Director and staff will be fully engaged with the selected vendor on all aspects of the project including, but not limited to, providing subject matter expertise.
23 Do you have a list of MBE/WBE’s that have expressed interest in the RFP that may be shared?
See Pre-Solicitation Question/Response # 5
24 What portal development tools is the state invested in currently? Are the existing recruitment portals built on the same tool?
There is a wide variance in tools currently in use by state agencies. Vendors should provide for the State's consideration what specific type of application would be most effective for a proposed solution that meets the scope and functionality requirements as outlined within Section 5.3.2 of the RFP.
25 Is the state open to the idea of selecting a TAM software that includes the portal functionality? Or is there a broader portal strategy for the State that will not support a separate portal platform?
Yes; we are open to all options that will support and achieve our goal of establishing a best-in-class Enterprise Center.
26 Is it possible for you to share who provided intent to bid?
Companies that submitted an Intent To Bid are included in Addendum #2
27 In these budgetary conscious times, is the State open to or interested in a SaaS model that provides the ability to provide maximum functionality at a low cost?
See Solicitation Question/Response # 20
28 What is the approach to Governance? Has an executive steering committee been defined? What representatives will sit on the committee?
An executive steering committee will be established to provide Governance to the project.
29 Are the terms and conditions negotiable? Per Section 3.9, exceptions / waivers to terms and conditions should have been requested by the question due date. However, minor non-material terms could be negotiated with the selected contractor.
Page 7 of 54
30 Is the vendor required to utilize MBE/WBE subcontractors if awarded the Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Services contract (Lot 2) or does the MBE/WBE participation goal of 20% only apply to the Talent Acquisition Services contract (Lot 1)?
The MWBE goals are applied independently to both Lot Groups.
31 Are you currently using an automated tracking system (ATS)? If so, which one?
No. The system currently in use was internally developed and has limitations.
32 Can you please clarify how you envision rolling out the project? Will services provided under Lot 1 and Lot 2 be provided concurrently?
Yes; services provided under Lot Group 1 and Lot Group 2 will be provided concurrently.
33 Can you please confirm the number of anticipated annual hires?
See Pre-Solicitation Questions /Responses # 4
34 Is it your intent to award the contract to one supplier or multiple suppliers for Lot 1?
We intend to award one contract for Lot Group 1 and one contract for Lot Group 2, vendors may bid on one or both Lot Groups.
35 It states in the RFP document that there is no guaranteed amount of work and that the state reserves the right to utilize in-house staff or other means. Can you please clarify?
This reference relates, particularly, to Lot Group 1 services. Based upon the specifications of the position being sourced, the Center Director may determine that Center staff can successfully manage the recruitment for the position. There may be other positions, which carry more specialized or highly technical requirements, which would require the assistance of the vendor selected to provide the Talent Acquisition Services outlined within Section 5.2 of the RFP.
36 How many types/levels of positions are in-scope for this project?
Undetermined at this time. An estimated number of placements and salaries have been provided with the Cost Proposal forms. Note however, that these are only estimates and that there is no guaranteed amount of work associated with these contracts.
37 What will be the functionality/capabilities of the state’s eHR system currently under development?
See Question/Response #11.
38 What is the current age demographic of the NY State workforce (specifically what is the approximate percentage of workers in each 10-year grouping)? For instance 20-30 year olds, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, above 60?
The most recent demographic information associated with the age of the New York State workforce, as provided by the New York State Department of Civil Service, is included below Questions and Clarifications in this Addendum # 2
Page 8 of 54
39 What is the total number of employees in the state workforce?
The total number of employees in the state workforce as of January 2011, the most recent data available from the New York State Department of Civil Service, was 159,161
40 For the purposes of this bid, the number of hires for Executive Level is 150 and Managerial and Technical 200. If these numbers are representative, do you anticipate them increasing or decreasing? If yes, by how much?
An estimated number of placements and salaries have been provided with the Cost Proposal forms. Note however, that these are only estimates and that there is no guaranteed amount of work associated with these contracts.
41 Can you please clarify if the estimated hires (350) in Lot 1 are projected annual hires or the number of workers that will be required over the 5 year period? How could changes in legislation potentially impact the number of individuals anticipated to be hired?
An estimated number of placements and salaries have been provided with the Cost Proposal forms. Note however, that these are only estimates and that there is no guaranteed amount of work associated with these contracts. A number of factors/variables that are outside the Center's control could potentially impact the number of individuals eventually hired through he services provided by the Center, either directly or through consultant support including, but not limited to: legislation, budget/fiscal constraints, etc.
42 Does OGS anticipate that the resulting contract for Lot 1 will be similar to your Hourly Based IT Services contract?
No
43 For Lot 1, will you entertain a payment structure other than a straight commission percentage?
No. Payment structures for Lot 1 must follow either the A or B options as set forth in the RFP and cost proposal attachments.
44 In particular, to achieve some of the best practice and quality objectives related to Lot 1, will OGS entertain a proposal where the fee is split between a monthly payment plus a success fee payable on the start date of a new hire?
No
45 Will OGS award the contract to a single vendor?
See Question/Response number 34
Page 9 of 54
46 Will OGS support the concept of exclusivity on delegated, in scope positions? In order for the benefits of RPO to be realized, the vendor would need to avoid “co-recruiting”. This is required in order to maximize the candidate experience & to provide tailored, consistent messaging that differentiates the State as an Employer of Choice
The Center will be responsible for the recruitment of all positions being sourced through this contract. Accordingly, once the Center Director makes the determination to source the position to the vendor selected to provide Lot Group 1 services, the vendor will be responsible for providing the full scope of services outlined under Section 5.2 of the RFP. We do not anticipate any instance where "co-recruiting" will take place.
47 Lot 2, does 5.3.1 refer to an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)?
Lot 2, Section 5.3.1 outlines the preferred attributes of any enterprise technology solution that the vendor may propose based upon the management and systems analysis to be performed, and best practices from private industry and the public sector that will support efficient and effective Center operations and performance reporting.
48 Do you require vendors staff to be full time on site in Albany? If so, what percentage?
Lot Group 1, routine presence not required. Lot Group 2 -The state expects vendor staff on-site on a regular basis as described in your submitted plan of operation.
49 Can OGS provide an estimate on the present number of vacancies for both Executive and Managerial/Technical positions?
An estimated number of placements and salaries have been provided with the Cost Proposal forms. Note however, that these are only estimates and that there is no guaranteed amount of work associated with these contracts.
50 Does OGS expect there will be an initial backlog of open positions and then the monthly volume will become somewhat steady? Can OGS provide estimates as to what the initial and then monthly numbers of vacancies would be?
An estimated number of placements and salaries have been provided with the Cost Proposal forms. Note however, that these are only estimates and that there is no guaranteed amount of work associated with these contracts.
51 Will OGS distribute a list of those vendors that have indicated their intend to submit a proposal?
Yes, the list of vendors who submitted an Intent To Bid is included in addendum #2.
52 Do you have process flows for the process described in section 5.1?
Section 5.1 of the RFP provides background information regarding current state which provides the context within which the State made its decision to establish the Center for Recruitment and Public Service.
53 Can you provide more information on the NYS Recruitment Portal?
No. Section 5.3.2 of the RFP outlines the conceptual framework for the future vision of a single, centralized, robust Recruitment Portal for New York State.
Page 10 of 54
54 What is the annual number of each of the types of recruitments listed in the RFP: Competitive, Non-competitive, exempt, and labor
An estimated number of placements and salaries have been provided with the Cost Proposal forms. Note however, that these are only estimates and that there is no guaranteed amount of work associated with these contracts.
55 Section 3.2 of the RFP specifies “this is a multiple award solicitation. OGS intends to award separate contracts for Talent Acquisition Services - Lot Group 1, and Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Services - Lot Group 2”. Does OGS intend to award (or is it possible it may award) more than one contract per individual lot group?
No. See Question/Response # 34
56 Addendum No. 1 and future addendums must contain an original signature, be dated, attached to, and made a part of your proposal. Can OGS provide direction on which section of the proposal (Technical, Cost, or Required Forms section) that this and futureaddendum(s) should be included?

Can OGS provide guidance on how to complete the State Consultant Services - Contractor's Planned Employment (Form A) for number of employees, number of hours to be worked, and Amount Payable Under the Contract when these elements are not part of the proposal for Lot Group 2?
Please follow the instructions included in the RFP for completing the referenced Form A. Use estimated data from cost proposal to complete Form A
58 The cost proposal form for Lot Group 2 requires an hourly bid rate only (and prescribed estimated annual hours for evaluation purposes only). Can OGS provide guidance on how to EEO 100 – Equal Employment Opportunity Staffing Plan for workforce counts when those elements are not part of the proposal for Lot Group 2?

60 The RFP specifies that the vendor “provide expert advice and support on the deployment of the system, once identified and purchased, as a member of the system implementation and integration team.” Can the term “support” be defined or elaborated upon?
The term "support" refers to guidance to be provided to the Center Director on the deployment, implementation, and integration of the system once identified and purchased or developed.

69 Does the State expect to re-organize an existing group of individuals to function as the Talent Acquisition and Management Center of Excellence (COE) or does the State expect to create a COE by selecting individuals from other roles in the State to join the new organization? Does the State’s HR organization currently include other COEs? If so, which groups function as a COE today?
As indicated in Section 5.3.4 of the RFP, the State is looking for the selected vendor to assist the Center Director with designing a high performance, best-in-class Talent Acquisition and Management Center of Excellence for the State of New York. Accordingly, the State is open to considering options that accomplishes the overall goal of creating a best-in-class organization. No, the state HR organization does not currently include other COEs.
70 Is the State open to alternative pricing methodologies for Lot 1 (ex. Cost Per Hire, Open Requisition/Closed Requisition fee, etc.)?
No
71 Understanding that the # of recruitments provided in the Cost Proposal Form is for evaluation purposes only - can the State provide a historic view of the number of hires per type, by job title/function, for 2011 and 2012 to date and projections for 2013?
An estimated number of placements and salaries have been provided with the Cost Proposal forms. Note however, that these are only estimates and that there is no guaranteed amount of work associated with these contracts. Prior year hiring histories may not be reliable predictors of future activity.
72 Can you please provide a list of the specific roles (job title/function) that fall under Executive Positions Recruitment and Management/Technical Recruitment?
Specification will be defined as part of sourcing discussion as noted in Section 5.2 of the RFP
Page 13 of 54
73 What are the desired go live dates for Lot 1 and Lot 2 and does Lot 2?
See Section 3.4 of the RFP
74 With regard to the work in scope for Lot 1; does this include the vendor doing candidate screening, interviewing scheduling, hiring manager feedback coordination, pre-employment screening and on boarding administration?
Pre-employment screening, interview scheduling, and on-boarding administration are not included within the scope of services outlined within Lot Group 1(see Section 5.2 of the RFP). The extent to which candidate screening would be conducted will be negotiated and mutually agreed upon between the Center Director and vendor as part of the initial sourcing discussion.
75 What is the State's current in house staff? Does the State want the vendors to incorporate those resources into its staffing models for both Lots? If so, what roles and levels do they represent?
No. See Section 5.3.4 of the RFP
76 Can the State provide a list of 3rd party providers currently being utilized as part of the talent acquisition process and if these providers will be utilized going forward or can the vendor provide alternative providers and incorporate the costs into its bid (ex. Talent Acquisition Systems, background checking, drug screening, assessments, etc.)?
Vendors should provide options for the State's consideration in their proposals as it relates to all aspects of the SOW outlined within the RFP.
77 How many Center Directors will need to be interfaced with - is it one for each Executive Office?
There is only one Center Director
78 Is the State's eHR system a custom in-house tool or a customized third party tool (ex. Oracle/PeopleSoft) and when is the estimated go-live date?
See Question/Response #37
79 What is the State's expectation of vendor resources being onsite at State offices (full-time, % of week/month, etc.)?
See Question/Response # 48
80 Are there any past or present restrictions for bidders on their history of 1099 contractor use?
It is expected that proposed use of non-employees will be treated as a subcontractor or will become an employee. See Section 6.12 of the RFP
81 RFP specifies email communication, no automation. How are requisitions approved, distributed, tracked? How are resumes submitted, tracked, responded to? Is this process automated?
We reviewed the RFP and found no reference to email communications and requisitions.
Page 14 of 54
82 Is the goal of this RFP to identify consulting groups; LOT 1 being Recruiters and LOT 2 being Management/ Business/ Process analysts who will aide in the 'design' of the NYS recruitment center?
Lot Group 1, outlined within Section5.2 of the RFP, focuses on Talent Acquisition Services. Lot Group 2, outlined within Section 5.3 of the RFP, focuses on Talent Acquisition Management Services.
83 Is the goal of this RFP to identify technology companies to develop/ code/ build the NYS Online Recruitment Center? We specialize in creating/ building an optimized online talent experience but we are not a Management Consulting company and I fear our resumes and experiences, while significant, will not align with the RFP specifications. If so, please clarify which LOT to focus on.
OGS will not advise, however we encourage responses from vendors who can adequately provide the services specified.
84 The RFP hints at 'developing a robust E-Recruitment portal' but also indicates that the vendor offer "connectivity and interoperability with the State’s in-development eHR and Recruitment system." Is the eHR and Recruitment system a separate project? If yes, who is driving that project? If no, will the culmination of work as a result of this RFP lead to the development and launch of a NYS eHR and recruitment system? Would a separate vendor build the eHR recruitment system?
Section 5.3.2 of the RFP provides the conceptual framework of the Recruitment Portal envisioned for the State. Based upon this analysis and best practices in private industry and the public sector, vendors are expected to provide recommendations to the Center Director for the design and launch of a Recruitment Portal, to more effectively advertise employment opportunities and provides the functionality outlined.

1. Introduction
1.1 Overview The New York State Center for Recruitment and Public Service (The Center), a business unit of the Office of General Services is soliciting proposals for Talent Acquisition Services - Lot Group 1 and Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Services - Lot Group 2, to assist the State in establishing a best-in-class enterprise Talent Acquisition and Management Center of Excellence within the Office of General Services. The Center will provide talent acquisition and talent acquisition management services to all New York State Executive Department agencies.
Vendors may submit either a single bid associated with Lot Group 1 or Lot Group 2 or two (2) bids for both Lot Groups as outlined within this RFP.
At present, the State is faced with several challenges when recruiting for position vacancies – multiple, disparate systems and methodologies employed to identify talent; lack of a systematic, data-driven process and analysis resulting in an inefficient process and hiring mismatches; lack of staff proficiency in researching and forecasting trends, defining necessary capabilities, developing assessment criteria, and building effective recruitment strategies; a non-existent Employment Brand; limited access to external candidate pools; and a general absence of a coordinated, enterprise approach to talent acquisition and management.
The Office of General Services has been reimagined as a central provider of support services and back office operations to state agencies. It is, then, uniquely positioned to provide this new centralized service which will be critical to the State’s success in creating a steady pipeline of high quality talent that will provide the basis for the current and future cadre of professional public servants for the State of New York ensuring that the State has the right people, with the right skills, in the right place, at the right time, to ensure organizational effectiveness.
The Center will be guided by the following operational premises:
• A systematic, data and results-driven approach to Talent Acquisition rooted in best practices; • An enterprise strategy that focuses on quality talent selection to enhance the operational effectiveness of state
agencies; • Clear performance objectives and metrics that demonstrates program impact and effectiveness; • Employment of multiple talent acquisition strategies, traditional and technological, based upon the type and
requirements of the position to effectively tap into the active and passive labor force; • Consistent messaging – employment branding – that differentiates the State as an Employer of Choice and
inspires a “calling to public service;” • Leverage the capabilities of a robust recruitment portal to communicate employment opportunities, showcase
state agencies and occupations, and provide a virtual workplace where potential candidates can interact with state recruiters and experience the look and feel of various occupations within state government.
Refer to Section 5 – Detailed Scope of Work/Service Requirements for the detailed service requirements to be included under this solicitation.

3.4 Term of Contrac t The State of New York will not be held liable for any cost incurred by bidders for work performed in the preparation and production of a bid or for any work performed prior to the formal execution and approval of a contract.
The contract resulting from this RFP will become effective on the date on which final approval of the contract is given by the Office of the State Comptroller, and will continue for a term of five (5) years.
No later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the contract, OGS and the contractor will develop a list of active assignments on which the contractor efforts continue. The list shall include an estimated date for completion. The final determination of those assignments will be in the sole discretion of OGS. In the event that OGS chooses that the contractor complete the assignment, the contract may be extended for a short term – ONLY for those active assignments, no new assignments can be initiated during the extension period.
The State of New York retains the right to cancel this contract for convenience, provided that the Contractor is given at least thirty (30) days written notice of OGS’s intent to cancel. Any cancellation by OGS under this section shall in no event constitute or be deemed a breach of any contract resulting from this RFP and no liability shall be incurred by or arise against OGS, its agents and employees therefore for lost profits or any other damages resulting there from. This provision shall not be understood as waiving the State’s right to terminate the contract for cause or stop work immediately for unsatisfactory work, but is supplementary to that provision. See Section 6.16 – Termination.
3.5 Price Adjus tment (Es ca la tion / De-es ca la tion) This clause will apply only to the hourly rate bid in Lot Group 2. Commission percentages bid in Lot Group 1 shall be firm for the contract term. The Contractor is to submit a bid that will be fixed for one (1) year only. On each anniversary date of the contract, the Contractor will be granted an increase or decrease in their bid (each hourly rate), dependent upon fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index for All Items, Northeast Region, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212. Visit their website at www.bls.gov/ro2/home.htm.
The ‘base’ month for determining adjustments will be the third month prior to the start date of the contract. The base month is fixed and will not be adjusted year to year. The adjustments will be based on the difference in the base month CPI for each applicable year and will become effective in the anniversary month. For example, if the contract is awarded in September 2006, the ‘base’ month will be June. If the contract allows for an adjustment after the first year, it would be based on the difference between the June 2006 CPI and the June 2007 CPI and become effective in September 2007. The consumer price index is published around the middle of each month for the prior month (i.e. the January figure is not published until mid February). The Contractor has the sole responsibility to request, in letter form, an adjusted rate and shall provide a copy of the index and other supporting documentation necessary to support the increase or decrease with the request. This request and documentation must be received at the below address within three months of the base month. To ensure timely delivery, certified mail is recommended. As long as the request is submitted and received within the required time frame, the adjustment will be processed using the base month Consumer Price Index. Once approved, the contractor will be notified in writing. Request and documentation must be sent to the OGS Purchasing Unit, Corning Tower, 40th Floor, Empire State Plaza, and Albany, New York 12242
Should a contractor fail to submit the request and supporting documentation to the proper location within three months of the applicable base month date, contractor shall be deemed to have waived its right to any increase in price, but the State shall not be barred from making the appropriate adjustment in the case of a decrease determined in accordance with the above methodology.

5. Detailed Scope of Work/Service Requirements
5.1 Background The State of New York currently recruits for a variety of occupational categories – Executive, management, technical, administrative, and entry-level positions. Positions are aligned within several jurisdictional classes as defined below:
• Competitive – Section 44 of the Civil Service Law states that “the competitive class shall include all positions for which it is practicable to determine the merit and fitness of applicants by competitive examination…”
• Non-Competitive – Section 42.1 of the Civil Service Law stipulates that the non-competitive class will consist of those positions for which it is practicable to examine applicants as to their qualifications, but not practicable to conduct tests on a competitive basis. Generally, no written or oral tests are required for non-competitive class positions. If the position is in the non-competitive class, the appointing officer has freedom of selection provided the appointee meets the educational, experience and other qualification requirements as may be fixed by the Department of Civil Service.
• Exempt – Section 41.1 of the Civil Service Law provides that the exempt class shall include “all other offices or positions for which the Civil Service Commission has determined it is not practicable to fill by competitive or non-competitive examination.” If the position is in the exempt class the appointing officer may select any candidate because the appointee is not required by the Department of Civil Service to meet any educational, experience or other qualification requirements.
• Labor – Section 43 of the Civil Service Law defines the labor jurisdictional class as being comprised of all unskilled laborer positions, except those which can be examined for competitively. Qualifying tests may be required for appointment to labor class positions.
Potential candidate pools for these position vacancies may come from both within state government and external to state government.
At present, the State is faced with several challenges when recruiting for position vacancies – multiple, disparate systems and methodologies employed to identify talent; lack of a systematic, data-driven process and analysis resulting in an inefficient process and hiring mismatches; lack of staff proficiency in researching and forecasting trends, defining necessary capabilities, developing assessment criteria, and building effective recruitment strategies; a non-existent Employment Brand; limited access to external candidate pools; and a general absence of a coordinated, enterprise approach to talent acquisition and management.
To address the current state and bring greater efficiency to the process, the State has decided to establish a best-in-class enterprise Center for Recruitment and Public Service (hereinafter referred to as “the Center”) within the Office of General Services to provide talent acquisition and management services to all New York State Executive Department agencies. The initial focus of the Center’s activities will be the recruitment of talent from within and outside of state government to fill the state’s executive and/or managerial and technical talent needs.
The Office of General Services has been reimagined as a central provider of support services and back office operations to state agencies. It is, then, uniquely positioned to provide this new centralized service which will be critical to the State’s success in creating a steady pipeline of high quality talent that will provide the basis for the current and future cadre of professional public servants for the State of New York ensuring that the State has the right people, with the right skills, in the right place, at the right time, to ensure organizational effectiveness.
The Center will be guided by the following operational premises:
• A systematic, data and results-driven approach to Talent Acquisition rooted in best practices;
• An enterprise strategy that focuses on quality talent selection to enhance the operational effectiveness of state agencies;
• Clear performance objectives and metrics that demonstrates program impact and effectiveness;
• Employment of multiple talent acquisition strategies, traditional and technological, based upon the type and requirements of the position to effectively tap into the active and passive labor force;
OGS Talent Acquisition & Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Services RFP 1797 Group 71022; Class Code 80
Page 22 of 37
• Consistent messaging – employment branding – that differentiates the State as an Employer of Choice and inspires a “calling to public service;”
• Leverage the capabilities of a robust recruitment portal to communicate employment opportunities, showcase state agencies and occupations, and provide a virtual workplace where potential candidates can interact with state recruiters and experience the look and feel of various occupations within state government.
All executive and/or managerial and technical talent recruitment for New York State will be centrally managed by the Center, which will combine and selectively implement internal and external recruitment strategies providing the State with a flexible, dynamic program. Through this centralization, the State can maximize its resources more effectively, standardize processes, and enhance its ability to achieve desired outcomes.
The Center will use a hybrid operational model allowing the State to employ a variety of recruitment strategies – internal and external, traditional and technological – based upon the type and requirements of the position being sourced. Staff support for Center operations will come from existing state employees that currently provide recruitment support and consultant staff.
The State of New York, through the Office of General Services, seeks consultant assistance to support its efforts in maximizing the operational effectiveness of this new Center.

Section 5-a of the Tax Law, as amended, effective April 26, 2006, requires certain contractors awarded state contracts for commodities, services and technology valued at more than $100,000 to certify to the Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF) that they are registered to collect New York State and local sales and compensating use taxes. The law applies to contracts where the total amount of such contractors’ sales delivered into New York State are in excess of $300,000 for the four quarterly periods immediately preceding the quarterly period in which the certification is made, and with respect to
OGS Talent Acquisition & Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Services RFP 1797 Group 71022; Class Code 80
Page 31 of 37
any affiliates and subcontractors whose sales delivered into New York State exceeded $300,000 for the four quarterly periods immediately preceding the quarterly period in which the certification is made.
This law imposes upon certain contractors the obligation to certify whether or not the contractor, its affiliates, and its subcontractors are required to register to collect state sales and compensating use tax and contractors must certify to DTF that each affiliate and subcontractor exceeding such sales threshold is registered with DTF to collect New York State and local sales and compensating use taxes. The law prohibits the State Comptroller, or other approving agency, from approving a contract awarded to a contractor meeting the registration requirements but who is not so registered in accordance with the law.
Contractor certification forms and instructions for completing the forms are attached to this RFP. Form ST-220-TD must be filed with and returned directly to DTF. Unless the information upon which the ST-220-TD is based changes, this form only needs to be filed once with DTF. If the information changes for the contractor, its affiliate(s), or its subcontractor(s) a new Form ST-220-TD must be filed with DTF.
Form ST-220-CA must be filed with the bid and submitted to the procuring covered agency certifying that the contractor filed the ST-220-TD with DTF. Proposed contractors should complete and return the certification forms within two business days of request (if the forms are not completed and returned with bid submission). Failure to make either of these filings may render a Bidder non-responsive and non-responsible. Bidders shall take the necessary steps to provide properly certified forms within a timely manner to ensure compliance with the law.
Vendors may call DTF at 1-800-698--2909 for any and all questions relating to Section 5-a of the Tax Law and relating to a company's registration status with the DTF. For additional information and frequently asked questions, please refer to the DTF web site: http://www.nystax.gov
6.8 M/WBE & EEO Requirements CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR EQUAL EMPLOYMENT AND BUSINESS PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR MINORITY GROUP MEMBERS AND NEW YORK STATE CERTIFIED MINORITY- AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
POLICY STATEMENT
The New York State Office of General Services (OGS), as part of its responsibility, recognizes the need to promote the employment of minority group members and women and to ensure that certified minority and women-owned business enterprises have opportunities for maximum feasible participation in the performance of OGS contracts.
In 2006, the State of New York commissioned a disparity study to evaluate whether minority and women-owned business enterprises had a full and fair opportunity to participate in state contracting. The findings of the study were published on April 29, 2010, under the title "The State of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises: Evidence from New York" (“the Disparity Study”). The report found evidence of statistically significant disparities between the level of participation of minority and women-owned business enterprises in state procurement contracting verses the number of minority and women-owned business enterprises that were ready, willing and able to participate in state procurements. As a result of these findings, the Disparity Study made recommendations concerning the implementation and operation of the statewide certified minority and women-owned business enterprises program.
Equal Employment Opportunity Requirements
By submission of a bid or proposal in response to this solicitation, the Bidder/Contractor agrees with all of the terms and conditions of Appendix A including Clause 12 - Equal Employment Opportunities for Minorities and Women. The Contractor is required to ensure that it and any subcontractors awarded a subcontract over $25,000 for the construction, demolition, replacement, major repair, renovation, planning or design of real property and improvements thereon (the "Work") except where the Work is for the beneficial use of the Contractor, shall undertake or continue programs to ensure that minority group members and women are afforded equal employment opportunities without discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or marital status. For these purposes, equal opportunity shall apply in the areas of recruitment, employment, job assignment, promotion, upgrading, demotion, transfer, layoff, termination, and rates of pay or other forms of compensation. This requirement does not apply to: (i) work, goods, or services unrelated to this contract; or (ii) employment outside New York State.
Bidder further agrees to submit with the bid a staffing plan (Form EEO 100) identifying the anticipated work force to be utilized on the Contract and if awarded a contract, will, upon request, submit to the Authorized User, a workforce utilization report on Form EEO 101, identifying the workforce actually utilized on the Contract if known.
OGS Talent Acquisition & Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Services RFP 1797 Group 71022; Class Code 80
Page 32 of 37
Further, pursuant to Article 15 of the Executive Law (also known as the Human Rights Law) and all other State and Federal statutory and constitutional non-discrimination provisions, the Contractor and sub-contractors will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed (religion), color, sex (including gender expression), national origin, sexual orientation, military status, age, disability, predisposing genetic characteristic, marital status or domestic violence victim status, and shall also follow the requirements of the Human Rights Law with regard to non-discrimination on the basis of prior criminal conviction and prior arrest.
Business Participation Opportunities for New York State Certified Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE)
For purposes of this procurement, OGS hereby establishes a goal of 10% for Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE) participation and 10% for Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE) participation (collectively referred to as MWBE) for a total contract MWBE goal of 20%. A Contractor must document good faith efforts to provide meaningful participation by MWBEs as subcontractors or suppliers in the performance of this contract and Contractor agrees that OGS may withhold payment pending receipt of the required MWBE documentation. The directory of New York State Certified MWBEs can be viewed at: http://www.esd.ny.gov/MWBE.html
For guidance on how OGS will determine a Contractor’s “good faith efforts,” refer to 5 NYCRR §142.8.
In accordance with 5 NYCRR §142.13, Bidder/Contractor acknowledges that if it is found to have willfully and intentionally failed to comply with the MWBE participation goals set forth in the Contract, such finding constitutes a breach of Contract and OGS may withhold payment from the Contractor as liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be calculated as an amount equaling the difference between: (1) all sums identified for payment to MWBEs had the Contractor achieved the contractual MWBE goals; and (2) all sums actually paid to MWBEs for work performed or materials supplied under the Contract.
By submitting a bid or proposal, Bidder/Contractor agrees to submit the following documents and information as evidence of compliance with the foregoing:
A. Bidders are required to submit a Utilization Plan on Form MWBE 100 with their bid or proposal. The Utilization Plan shall list the MWBEs the Contractor intends to use to perform the State contract and a description of the Contract scope of work that the Contractor intends to structure to meet the goals on the State contract, and the estimated or, if known, actual dollar amounts to be paid to and performance dates of each component of a State Contract that the Contractor intends to be performed by a NYS Certified minority- or woman-owned business. Any modifications or changes to the agreed participation by NYS Certified M/WBEs after the Contract Award and during the term of the Contract must be reported on a revised M/WBE Utilization Plan and submitted to OGS.
B. OGS will review the submitted MWBE Utilization Plan and advise the Bidder of OGS acceptance or issue a notice of deficiency within 20 days of receipt.
C. If a notice of deficiency is issued, Bidder agrees that it shall respond to the notice of deficiency within seven (7) business days of receipt by submitting to OGS, a written remedy in response to the notice of deficiency. If the written remedy that is submitted is not timely or is found by OGS to be inadequate, OGS shall notify the Bidder and direct the Bidder to submit, within five (5) business days, a request for a partial or total waiver of MWBE participation goals on Form BDC 333. Failure to file the waiver form in a timely manner may be grounds for disqualification of the bid or proposal.
D. OGS may disqualify a Bidder as being non-responsive under the following circumstances:
a) If a Bidder fails to submit a MWBE Utilization Plan;
b) If a Bidder fails to submit a written remedy to a notice of deficiency;
c) If a Bidder fails to submit a request for waiver; or
d) If OGS determines that the Bidder has failed to document good faith efforts.
A Bidder who documents good faith efforts to meet the goal requirements may submit a request for a partial or total waiver on Form BDC 333, at the same time it submits its MWBE Utilization Plan. If a request for waiver is submitted with the MWBE Utilization Plan and is not accepted by OGS at that time, the provisions of clauses B-D above, will apply.

6.17 NYS Vendor Res pons ib ility Ques tionna ire For-Profit Bus ines s Entity (Here inafte r the “ques tionna ire”)
OGS conducts a review of prospective contractors (“Bidders”) to provide reasonable assurances that the Bidder is responsive and responsible. A Questionnaire is used for non-construction contracts and is designed to provide information to assess a Bidder’s responsibility to conduct business in New York based upon financial and organizational capacity, legal authority, business integrity, and past performance history. By submitting a bid, Bidder agrees to fully and accurately complete the “Questionnaire.” The Bidder acknowledges that the State’s execution of the Contract will be contingent upon the State’s determination that the Bidder is responsible, and that the State will be relying upon the Bidder’s responses to the Questionnaire when making its responsibility determination.
OGS recommends each Bidder file the required Questionnaire online via the New York State VendRep System. To enroll in and use the VendRep System, please refer to the VendRep System Instructions and User Support for Vendors available at the Office of the State Comptroller’s (OSC) website, http://www.osc.state.ny.us./vendrep/vendor_index.htm or to enroll, go directly to the VendRep System online at https://portal.osc.state.ny.us .

Bidders opting to complete the paper questionnaire can access this form and associated definitions via the OSC website at: http://www.osc.state.ny.us/vendrep/forms_vendor.htm .
In order to assist the State in determining the responsibility of the Bidder, the Bidder should complete and certify (or recertify) the Questionnaire no more than six (6) months prior to the bid due date. A Bidder’s Questionnaire cannot be viewed by OGS until the Bidder has certified the Questionnaire. It is recommended that all Bidders become familiar with all of the requirements of the Questionnaire in advance of the bid opening to provide sufficient time to complete the Questionnaire.
The Bidder agrees that if it is found by the State that the Bidder’s responses to the Questionnaire were intentionally false or intentionally incomplete, on such finding, OGS may terminate the Contract. In no case shall such termination of the Contract by the State be deemed a breach thereof, nor shall the State be liable for any damages for lost profits or otherwise, which may be sustained by the Contractor as a result of such termination.
6.18 Extens ion of Us e Any contract resulting from the solicitation may be extended to additional State Agencies upon mutual agreement between the requesting agency, OGS, and the contractor, and subject to applicable approvals.

Such indemnity shall not be limited to the insurance coverage herein prescribed.

government, earthquakes, floods, strikes, civil strife, fire or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party that was so delayed in performing or so unable to perform provided that such party was not negligent and shall have used reasonable efforts to avoid and overcome such cause. Such party will resume full performance of such obligations and responsibilities promptly upon removal of any such cause.
6.21 Iran Dives tment Act By submitting a bid in response to this solicitation or by assuming the responsibility of a Contract awarded hereunder, Bidder/Contractor (or any assignee) certifies that it is not on the “Entities Determined To Be Non-Responsive Bidders/Offerers Pursuant to The New York State Iran Divestment Act of 2012” list (“Prohibited Entities List”) posted on the OGS website at: http://www.ogs.ny.gov/about/regs/docs/ListofEntities.pdf and further certifies that it will not utilize on such Contract any subcontractor that is identified on the Prohibited Entities List.

STANDARD CLAUSES FOR NYS CONTRACTS The parties to the attached contract, license, lease, amendment or other agreement of any kind (hereinafter, "the contract" or "this contract") agree to be bound by the following clauses which are hereby made a part of the contract (the word "Contractor" herein refers to any party other than the State, whether a contractor, licenser, licensee, lessor, lessee or any other party): 1. EXECUTORY CLAUSE. In accordance with Section 41 of the State Finance Law, the State shall have no liability under this contract to the Contractor or to anyone else beyond funds appropriated and available for this contract. 2. NON-ASSIGNMENT CLAUSE. In accordance with Section 138 of the State Finance Law, this contract may not be assigned by the Contractor or its right, title or interest therein assigned, transferred, conveyed, sublet or otherwise disposed of without the State’s previous written consent, and attempts to do so are null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such prior written consent of an assignment of a contract let pursuant to Article XI of the State Finance Law may be waived at the discretion of the contracting agency and with the concurrence of the State Comptroller where the original contract was subject to the State Comptroller’s approval, where the assignment is due to a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Contractor’s business entity or enterprise. The State retains its right to approve an assignment and to require that any Contractor demonstrate its responsibility to do business with the State. The Contractor may, however, assign its right to receive payments without the State’s prior written consent unless this contract concerns Certificates of Participation pursuant to Article 5-A of the State Finance Law. 3. COMPTROLLER'S APPROVAL. In accordance with Section 112 of the State Finance Law (or, if this contract is with the State University or City University of New York, Section 355 or Section 6218 of the Education Law), if this contract exceeds $50,000 (or the minimum thresholds agreed to by the Office of the State Comptroller for certain S.U.N.Y. and C.U.N.Y. contracts), or if this is an amendment for any amount to a contract which, as so amended, exceeds said statutory amount, or if, by this contract, the State agrees to give something other than money when the value or
reasonably estimated value of such consideration exceeds $10,000, it shall not be valid, effective or binding upon the State until it has been approved by the State Comptroller and filed in his office. Comptroller's approval of contracts let by the Office of General Services is required when such contracts exceed $85,000 (State Finance Law Section 163.6.a). 4. WORKERS' COMPENSATION BENEFITS. In accordance with Section 142 of the State Finance Law, this contract shall be void and of no force and effect unless the Contractor shall provide and maintain coverage during the life of this contract for the benefit of such employees as are required to be covered by the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Law. 5. NON-DISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS. To the extent required by Article 15 of the Executive Law (also known as the Human Rights Law) and all other State and Federal statutory and constitutional non-discrimination provisions, the Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, genetic predisposition or carrier status, or marital status. Furthermore, in accordance with Section 220-e of the Labor Law, if this is a contract for the construction, alteration or repair of any public building or public work or for the manufacture, sale or distribution of materials, equipment or supplies, and to the extent that this contract shall be performed within the State of New York, Contractor agrees that neither it nor its subcontractors shall, by reason of race, creed, color, disability, sex, or national origin: (a) discriminate in hiring against any New York State citizen who is qualified and available to perform the work; or (b) discriminate against or intimidate any employee hired for the performance of work under this contract.

Offerer Disclosure of Prior
Non-Responsibility Determinations Background: New York State Finance Law §139-k(2) obligates a Governmental Entity to obtain specific information regarding prior non-responsibility determinations with respect to State Finance Law §139-j. This information must be collected in addition to the information that is separately obtained pursuant to State Finance Law §163(9). In accordance with State Finance Law §139-k, an Offerer must be asked to disclose whether there has been a finding of non-responsibility made within the previous four (4) years by any Governmental Entity due to: (a) a violation of State Finance Law §139-j or (b) the intentional provision of false or incomplete information to a Governmental Entity. The terms “Offerer” and “Governmental Entity” are defined in State Finance Law § 139-k(1).

As part of its responsibility determination, State Finance Law §139-k(3) mandates consideration of whether an Offerer fails to timely disclose accurate or complete information regarding the above non-responsibility determination. In accordance with law, no Procurement Contract shall be awarded to any Offerer that fails to timely disclose accurate or complete information under this section, unless a finding is made that the award of the Procurement Contract to the Offerer is necessary to protect public property or public health safety, and that the Offerer is the only source capable of supplying the required Article of Procurement within the necessary timeframe. See State Finance Law §§139-j (10)(b) and 139-k(3).
