The Successful Primary Bidder shall be awarded the management of the Commission’s Lottery Scratch-off account and shall be awarded seventy percent (70%) of the Commission’s Scratch-off business during the contract term if the Commission awards Secondary and Tertiary Scratch-off ticket printing contracts. The Successful
Primary Bidder shall be awarded eighty percent (80%) of the Commission’s Scratch-off business during the contract term if the Commission awards only a Secondary Scratch-off ticket printing contract. The Successful Primary Bidder shall be awarded one hundred percent (100%) of the Commission’s Scratch-off business during the contract term if the Commission does not award either a Secondary or Tertiary Scratch-off ticket printing contract.

Secondary and Tertiary Scratch-off Ticket Printing Provider(s):
Secondary and Tertiary contracts may be awarded to the second and third highest scoring proposals, respectively. If Secondary and Tertiary Scratch-off ticket printing contracts are awarded, the Successful Secondary Bidder shall print twenty percent (20%) of the Commission’s Scratch-off business related to printing during the contract term and the Tertiary Bidder shall print ten percent (10%) of the Commission’s Scratch-off business related to printing during the contract term. If only a Secondary Scratch-off ticket printing contract is awarded, the Successful Secondary Bidder shall print twenty percent (20%) of Scratch-off business related to printing during the contract term.

Scope of Work is defined in Part Two.
The Commission’s annual budget for Scratch-off ticket design, development, and production services during the term of the Contract is estimated to be approximately $50,000,000, inclusive of all costs outlined in this RFP among all awarded contracts. The Commission provides no guarantee that all of the estimated budget will be expended during the term of the Contract. Compensation is described in Sections 3.3 and 6.7 of this RFP.

The Commission is the only office authorized to clarify, modify, amend, alter, or withdraw the provisions of this RFP.
In the RFP, the Commission has defined a series of objectives, requirements, and a proposal evaluation approach that will represent the Commission’s best interests in conformance with Commission policies and New York State statutes and regulations. A submitted Proposal must include all information and documentation required throughout this RFP.

The contents of this RFP, any modifications thereto, and the Proposal as submitted (consisting of a Technical Proposal and a Pricing Proposal) will become binding contractual obligations on both parties if a Contract ensues. Failure of the Successful Bidder to accept these obligations may result in cancellation of the award.
