Through this RFQ process, the University is seeking to identify Developers with the best qualifications, experience, financial capacity, and proven track records of executing similar projects. An Evaluation Committee (“Committee”) designated by the University will evaluate all materials submitted by Developers as part of this RFQ process. The evaluation will rank the Developer’s qualifications based on specific criteria stated herein. The University may select, at its sole discretion, a short list of the Developers it deems most qualified to partner with the University to undertake this Project. Those Firms will receive the designation of being “prequalified” and will be invited to participate in an RFP process following the evaluation of the Statement of Qualifications (“SOQs”). Participation in this RFQ is a prerequisite to participating in the RFP process and subsequent steps of the selection process, but in no way guarantees a Developer’s prequalification status.
