The Affirmative Action Goals for this Request for Proposal are 15% Minority-owned Business

Proposers are to include with their proposal signed copies of any addenda, or acknowledge receipt of any

addenda, if the District issued any addenda to this contract. Failure to do so may be cause for the rejection

of any bid. Bidding documents are available only online, and any addenda issued for this contract will be

available online at the District’s website, www.mwrd.org (Doing Business→Procurement and Materials

Management→Contract Announcements). Addenda will also be emailed/faxed to each person receiving a

set of such contract documents and to such other prospective Proposers as shall have requested that they

be furnished with a copy of the addenda.

If any potential Proposer contemplating to submit a proposal is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part

of the specifications or other contract documents, such inquiry should be submitted online at the District’s

website, www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing Business→Procurement and Materials

Management→Contract Announcements. The District will provide an online response to such inquiries,

as the District deems appropriate. Strings of appropriate questions and answers regarding the bidding

guarantee the timeliness of responses provided online, nor does the District guarantee that such responses

will be provided in adequate time to affect the submission of bids. The District shall provide responses

online ONLY if the responses do not interpret or otherwise change the bidding documents.

The District’s responses online are NOT official responses and, therefore, are not binding to the bidding

documents. Any official interpretation or change to the bidding documents will be made only by addenda

duly issued to all plan holders on record by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management.

The contact person for the request for proposal is Rhonda Williams, Senior Project Manager, Information
