inspiring and authentic design element to the streetscape environment. The term contractor
(contractor) as used herein includes a firm or firms, partnerships, joint ventures and others
responding to this Request for Proposals (RFP). The contractor will be working closely with
the Borough Transit Department (Borough Transit) on all aspects of the project.

Transportation Authority and the Cruise Passenger Vessel Fund. Of course, the Borough's
goals include completion of the project within budget, on time, and without litigation or other
conflict.
