- TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFP - Request for Proposals
This document provides guidelines and requirements for submitting proposals in response to a solicitation. It emphasizes the need for double-sided copies of the proposal and the use of recyclable or recycled materials for covers or binders. Plastic covers or dividers should be avoided, and excessive paper usage should be minimized.
The document also addresses the issue of potential collusion or conflicts of interest. It states that if an offeror is interested in multiple proposals or suspected of colluding with other offerors, all their proposals will be rejected. However, a firm acting as a subcontractor may be included in multiple proposals. The document also outlines the process for submitting equivalent experience and references if the bidder or offeror does not meet the required qualifications.
The solicitation process is conducted under the Arlington County procedure of "Competitive Negotiation for Goods and Services." It ensures that the content of proposals and the identity of offerors remain confidential until an award determination is made. The opening of proposals is not public.
A conflict of interest statement is required from the offeror, certifying that they have not been employed by or represented a deliverer of services that could be considered for purchase by the County. If awarded a contract, the offeror agrees not to submit bids or proposals for future procurements or disclose non-public information. They also agree not to accept commissions or fees from vendors who provide services to the County as a result of the offeror's services.
The document discourages unnecessarily elaborate responses, such as elaborate brochures or expensive presentations, as they may indicate a lack of cost consciousness.
In addition to the guidelines, the document includes general terms and conditions, such as prohibiting discrimination in employment, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and maintaining a drug-free workplace. It also ensures that no employee of Arlington County receives any special benefits from the contract that are not available to the general public.
