Respondents must examine all RFP documents thoroughly. The contract will be for an initial three-year term with options to extend for up to seven additional years.

A software demonstration or oral presentation may be requested.

Payment milestones are to be included in the pricing schedule. The final terms and conditions of any contract will be agreed upon during negotiation.
The proposal must include warranty as part of the products and services offered.
The award will be made to the responsible respondent whose proposal is determined to be the best evaluated offer, considering price and other evaluation factors. Evaluation factors include completeness of proposal, qualifications and experience, cost, and quality of proposal response.
Respondents must be qualified vendors capable of providing a system that meets the requirements. Financial information, legal history, and customer references will be evaluated.
The RFP does not explicitly detail penalties for non-performance, but late proposals or modifications will not be considered.
A pre-award survey of respondents' facilities and equipment may be conducted with two business days advance notice. Failure to allow an inspection shall be cause for rejection of proposal.
Clarification or objection to RFP requirements must be submitted at least ten days prior to the scheduled opening via Bidnet.
