replacement must be selected from within the same firm. All required information for the replacement
personnel must be provided and must comply with the original page limitations. During the Phase II
evaluation meeting, the evaluation team will revisit and adjust the Phase I score to reflect the
experience and qualifications of the replacement personnel.
D. Presentation/Interview
The City of Decatur reserves the right to request a presentation/interview on any project/contract as
determined in its best interests.
VI. Instructions for Submittal for Phase I and Phase II Response
A. There is one (1) electronic version submittal required. The Submittal must follow the format and meet
the content requirements identified in Section IV for Phase I and Section V for Phase II Responses.
Phase II Responses are intended solely for those firms identified and notified as finalists.
Submittals must be typed in portrait orientation on standard (812" x 11") paper. However, the
Organization Chart (11" x 17" allowed) and the Area Class Summary Table may be submitted in
landscape orientation. Pages should be numbered, but compliance with page limits will be determined
by counting pages within each section. The page count will be based on pages containing printed
content rather than the total number of sheets. Responses must follow the specified page limits in
each section, using a minimum font size of 11. Each submittal should be prepared simply and
economically, focusing on completeness, relevance, and clarity. Colored displays and promotional
materials are not required or desired.
