the City of Ann Arbor Water Treatment Plant (WTP), 919 Sunset Rd, Ann Arbor MI.

Failure to attend the meeting and sign the RFP #26-25 sign-in sheet at the pre-

proposal meeting will automatically disqualify an offeror from submitting a valid

proposal. Any proposal submitted by a party not attending and signing the roster at

the pre-proposal meeting will not be opened or considered. Administrative and

technical questions regarding this project will be answered at this time. The pre-

proposal meeting is for information only. Any answers furnished will not be official until

verified in writing by the Financial Service Area, Procurement Unit. Answers that

change or substantially clarify the RFP will be affirmed in an addendum.

Upon completion of the meeting in the Conference Room, a site walk through

D. PROPOSAL FORMAT

To be considered, each firm must submit a response to this RFP using the format

provided in Section III. No other distribution of proposals is to be made by the

prospective offeror. An official authorized to bind the offeror to its provisions must

sign the proposal. Each proposal must remain valid for at least ninety days from the

due date of this RFP.

Proposals should be prepared simply and economically providing a straightforward,

concise description of the offeror’s ability to meet the requirements of the RFP. No

erasures are permitted. Mistakes may be crossed out and corrected and must be

initialed in ink by the person signing the proposal.

E. SELECTION CRITERIA

Responses to this RFP will be evaluated using a point system as shown in Section III.

A selection committee comprised of staff from the City will complete the evaluation.

The fee proposals will not be reviewed at the initial evaluation. After initial evaluation,

the City will determine top proposals, and open only those fee proposals. The City

will then determine which, if any, firms will be interviewed. During the interviews, the

selected firms will be given the opportunity to discuss their proposal, qualifications,

past experience, and their fee proposal in more detail. The City further reserves the

right to interview the key personnel assigned by the selected offeror to this project.

All proposals submitted may be subject to clarifications and further negotiation. All

agreements resulting from negotiations that differ from what is represented within the

RFP or in the proposal response shall be documented and included as part of the final

contract.
