Question No. 1: We understand that a proposed fee should be included with the proposal. Can you
confirm any specific formatting or breakdown requirements for this fee for the Evaluation
Committee's review?
Answer No. 1: No cost or fee proposal shall be submitted with the qualifications proposal. The
County is conducting a qualifications-based selection process. Any discussion of compensation,
including labor breakdowns or fee structure, will occur only during negotiations with the highest-
ranked Offeror and will not be used for evaluation scoring or ranking.
Question No. 2: For the fee, should this be submitted with all other qualifications as listed in Proposal
Organization on p. 20 of the RFP, and if so, where in this sequence? Alternately, should this be
submitted as a separate attachment?

are to submit qualifications only, in accordance with Section IV of the RFP. Compensation will be
negotiated after selection in accordance with the Procurement Code.
