Please carefully review this document. It provides specific technical information necessary to aid participating firms in formulating a thorough response. A formal comprehensive review period will be conducted to ensure that the Cities select the best possible vehicles available at the best value to their entities.
To respond to this RFP, interested proposers must include a response to all criteria that are listed in this proposal. Failure to include a response to all the evaluation criteria may be cause for rejection.
Please carefully review this document. This document is a Request for Proposal. It differs from a Request for Bid/Quotation in that the Cities are seeking a solution as described herein, not a bid/quotation meeting firm specifications for the lowest price. Proposers are to provide their proposed solution based on their professional knowledge and developed around the general requirements defined within this proposal. As such, the lowest price proposed will not guarantee an award recommendation. Competitive sealed proposals will be evaluated based upon criteria formulated around the most important features of a product or service, of which quality, testing, references, or capability, may be overriding factors, and price may not be determinative in the issuance of a contract or award. The proposal evaluation criteria should be viewed as standards, which measure how well a proposer’s approach meets the desired requirements and needs of the Cities. The criteria that will be used and considered in evaluation for award are set forth in this document. The Cities reserve the right to award multiple contracts for the same or similar item(s).
