About this Document

This document is a Request for Proposal. It differs from a Request for Bid or Quotation in that the county is seeking a solution,

as described on the cover page and in the following Background Information section, not a bid or quotation meeting firm

specifications for the lowest price. As such, the lowest price proposed will not guarantee an award recommendation. As

defined in Charter Resolution No. 68, Competitive Sealed Proposals will be evaluated based upon criteria formulated around

the most important features of the product(s) and/or service(s), of which quality, testing, references, service, availability 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 that measure how well a vendor’s approach meets the desired requirements

and needs of the county. Criteria that will be used and considered in evaluation for award are set forth in this document. The

county will thoroughly review all proposals received. The county will also utilize its best judgment when determining whether

to schedule a pre-proposal conference, before proposals are accepted, or meetings with vendors, after receipt of all proposals.

A Purchase Order/Contract will be awarded to a qualified vendor submitting the best proposal. Sedgwick County reserves the

right to select, and subsequently recommend for award, the proposed service(s) and/or product(s) which best meets its

required needs, quality levels and budget constraints.

The nature of this work is for a public entity and will require the expenditure of public funds and/or use of public

facilities, therefore the successful proposer will understand that portions (potentially all) of their proposal may become

public record at any time after receipt of proposals. Proposal responses, purchase orders and final contracts are subject to

public disclosure after award. All confidential or proprietary information should be clearly denoted in proposal responses

and responders should understand this information will be considered prior to release, however no guarantee is made that

information will be withheld from public view.
