BID - Public Seating, Airport 2009

This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the City of Salt Lake City. The RFP provides detailed instructions and information for potential suppliers who wish to submit proposals for a contract with the City. The document covers various aspects that the City is interested in, such as the supplier's sustainability program or policy, their ability to accept electronic payments, and their compliance with the City's ethics requirements. The City emphasizes its focus on sustainability and environmental matters, requesting that suppliers provide information on measures like recycling, re-use of materials, and waste reduction. Additionally, the City encourages suppliers to accept electronic payments and provides details on their ability to do so, as well as any discounts offered for electronic payments. One important aspect highlighted in the document is that any additional terms, conditions, or requirements should not be added to the proposal pages. Instead, they must be submitted in a separate document. This ensures that the proposals are focused solely on the requirements outlined in the RFP. The document includes a representation regarding ethical standards, where the offeror must confirm that they have not provided illegal gifts or payoffs to City officers or employees, and that they have not breached any ethical standards set forth in the City's conflict of interest ordinance. The City also states that City employees are prohibited from accepting gifts or promotional items from suppliers. The RFP provides clear instructions for the preparation of proposals, including a reminder for offerors to read the entire document and understand its terms and conditions. It clarifies that the City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals received and may enter into discussions with selected offerors for negotiation purposes. The document concludes by stating that all proposals and related materials become the property of the City and will not be returned to the offeror. It also mentions that failure to submit a proposal may result in the removal of the firm from the prospective offerors list. Overall, the document serves as a comprehensive guide for potential suppliers on how to submit a proposal that aligns with the City's requirements and expectations. The inclusion of a separate document for additional terms or requirements ensures that proposals remain focused on the specific criteria outlined in the RFP.
