not be considered.
Fax submission will not be acceptable. Proposers e-mailing their proposals should allow sufficient
time to ensure receipt of their proposal by the time specified.
Proposals should clearly demonstrate the Proposer’s qualifications to perform the needed services
and attend all factors applicable in a professional relationship.
