The document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for background verification services by the County of Loudoun, Virginia. The document outlines the requirements and instructions for submitting proposals from potential offerors.
The RFP specifies that offerors must provide a sample candidate summary file and describe how the County will have access to the candidate information. Offerors must also provide a description of the network and technological requirements for County staff accessing the offeror's system.
The document emphasizes the need for offerors to demonstrate their ability and experience in tracking and segregating billing by County department.
In terms of credential and related experience, offerors must provide a detailed history of their firm's existence and a list of at least three current references for whom comparable work has been performed.
Offerors are required to confirm their firm's compliance with the Terms and Conditions stated in Section 6.0 of the RFP and list any deviations with justification for each exception.
The RFP also includes instructions for the cost of services, stating that the pricing page included in the RFP must be completed and any additional services and corresponding prices can be submitted on a separate page. Miscellaneous fees not included on the pricing page should be spelled out in detail.
The document mentions the possibility of additional options (A La Carte) for background verifications and requests pricing for education, training, and certification verification.
Instructions for the preparation and submission of proposals are provided, including the requirement to read the entire solicitation, submit pricing on the provided form, and sign the proposal. Proposals must be submitted in a sealed container and include all required attachments. The deadline for submission is specified, and proposals received after the acceptance date and time will not be considered. Proposals can be submitted via US Mail, hand delivery, or private carrier, but faxed and e-mailed proposals will not be accepted.
The document also addresses questions and inquiries, stating that they will be accepted from offerors and must be submitted in writing. The Division of Procurement is the sole point of contact for the RFP, and unauthorized contact with other County staff may result in disqualification.
Other sections of the document cover firm pricing for County acceptance, unit price quoting, protection of proprietary information, and the authority to bind the firm in the contract. The proposals must include the full firm name and address, ensuring that the firm has the authority to bind itself in the contract.
