(hereinafter referred to as “Proposal”) for the required services detailed in Attachment 2

(hereinafter referred to as “Scope of Services) in accordance with this Request for Proposal

(RFP). Any Proposal submitted must comply with the requirements of this RFP as herein

stated including all applicable Federal, State and Local laws, and is to be signed by an

officer legally authorized to bind Proposer to a Contract (hereinafter referred to as

“Contract”) and shall be submitted to SEPTA in writing, in the time and in the manner

information:

1. A statement concerning the Proposer’s interpretation of the Project

objectives, and a description of the services as understood by the Proposer.

The services described by Proposer must be fully responsive to this

RFP. Eliminations or qualifications by Proposer of performance of

services required by this RFP may result in a Proposal being judged

non-responsive.

2. A Project organization chart identifying Proposer’s manager of the Project

and all other “key” personnel. SEPTA retains the right to reject or accept

proposed Project personnel. Resumes shall be provided identifying the

qualifications and experience of the manager of the Project and all key

SEPTA will not permit a change in the manager of the Project or key

personnel after award, if any, to the successful proposing firm.

3. Proposer shall state the full name of the entity as it will appear on all final

contract documents. If the Proposer is a joint venture, then a copy of any

written agreement that exists between the members of each party to the joint

venture shall be included as part of the Technical Proposal. Such agreement
