IPR Northeast, LLC (IPR) is willing to review any responsible quote and will negotiate terms, if appropriate. We will notify your company if your bid is accepted for this project. We require that all subcontractors be able to adhere to and acquire insurance and obtain bonding per the Owner’s contract specifications. If you need assistance with obtaining bonding, loan capital, lines of credit, insurance or joint pay agreements,

contact us and we will review your needs and direct you to available agencies for assistance, if appropriate. The Company policy does not allow for providing lines of credit to subcontractors. At IPR, we make it a priority to have our subcontractors paid in a timely manner. We are able to review a subcontractor agreement with you if you require more information. We encourage you to bid as a consortium on the project, if it is too large for you to bid on individually. IPR is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Under such circumstances where Your Company is intending to use subcontractors, must ensure the following steps are taken:

Step 1: Ensure DBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities by placing qualified DBEs on solicitation lists whenever they are potential sources.

Step 2: Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits to encourage participation by DBEs. The prime contractor should allow a 30-day minimum advertising period for bidding.

Step 3: Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into small tasks or quantities, to permit maximum participation of DBEs.

Step 4: Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs, when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually.

Step 5: Using the services and assistance of the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), US Department of Commerce, and any local agencies available.

Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to call us if you have questions or concerns.
