BID - Playground Supply and Installation 2005

The document is a request for proposals (RFP) from the County for a project. The document outlines the process for submitting proposals, including the opportunity for discussions and revisions before awarding the contract. The purpose of these discussions is to determine the qualifications of the offeror, explore the scope and nature of the project, and agree upon fair compensation. The document also states that funding for the contract must be appropriated by the County Council, and if funds are not appropriated, the contract will automatically terminate. The award will be given to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the County, taking into consideration price and evaluation factors. The document emphasizes the confidentiality of procurement information and encourages innovative alternative proposals. It also prohibits unethical practices such as offering gratuities or kickbacks. The document provides procedures for protesting the solicitation or award of a contract, including the right to appeal to the County Council. The submission requirements for proposals are also outlined, including a letter of transmittal, table of contents, proposed construction details, cost projections, project plan, proposed warranty on materials and construction, and a list of references.
