Consultants
Quarterly, the Authority advertises its need for professional services under Consultant Agreements, and for individual projects in the New York State Contract Reporter and maintains a record of consultant firms who have previously expressed an interest in working for the Authority. A firm that meets the Authority's professional requirements is invited to submit a letter of interest for a particular project. Bidding is not part of this procurement procedure.
How to Access Thruway Authority Property
All consultants must contact the appropriate Division Permit Office whenever access to Authority property is necessary. Permit Coordinators will assist you with obtaining proper work and/or occupancy permits, scheduling needed traffic safety resources and identifying any additional authorizations that may be required for property involving a key asset or critical infrastructure.
