Experience/Past Performance 20%

14. Discussions with Responsible Proponents and Revisions to Proposals; General. In accordance with the City's Code, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to conduct discussions with responsible and responsive Proponents who submit proposals determined to be reasonably susceptible of being selected for award for any purpose in the best interests of the City, including the purpose of clarification to ensure full understanding of and responsiveness to the solicitation requirements. In such event, the City will select no less than three Proponents (the "Short-Listed Proponents") deemed to be the most responsible and responsive;

provided, however, that if three or less offerors respond to the RFP, the numerical requirement will not apply. The Short-Listed Proponents shall be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals, and such revisions may be permitted after submissions and prior to award for the purpose of obtaining the best and final offers. There shall be no disclosure of information derived from proposals submitted by competing Proponents.

14.1. Discussions for Proposal Clarification. The City may elect to hold discussions with any Short-Listed Proponent for the sole purpose of gaining clarification to ensure the City's full understanding of the Proponent's responsiveness to the solicitation requirements. In the event the City elects to hold discussions with Short-Listed Proponents for this purpose, the City will notify such Short-Listed Proponent(s) of the date, time, and location of such discussions in advance of such discussions. To be clear, discussions solely for proposal clarification purposes shall not serve as an opportunity for additional evaluation of any Short- Listed Proponent under this RFP, but rather shall be for the purpose of ensuring the City is obtaining the best and final offers. If following these discussions revisions to the proposal are requested by the City, a fully revised proposal shall be submitted no more than five business days following the conclusion of discussions.

8/1/24 10:09 AM

14.2 Discussions Subject to Additional Evaluation. In the event the City elects to conduct discussions for any purpose other than to solely gain clarification to ensure the City's full understanding of Proponent's responsiveness to the solicitation requirements, such discussions will undergo a separate additional evaluation process from the Standard Evaluation Process set forth above for the purpose of obtaining the best and final position of the Proponent. In such event, the City will announce topics and/or methods for discussion (e.g., demonstration, oral presentation, etc.) to all Short-Listed Proponents in advance of holding any discussions and such announcement will also set forth the total relative weight percentage of such discussions for purposes of conducting the additional evaluation process. The City will notify each Short-Listed Proponent of the date, time, and location of such discussions. If following these discussions revisions to the proposal are requested by the City, a fully revised proposal shall be submitted no more than five business days following the conclusion of discussions.

15. Disqualification of Proponents: Any of the following may be considered as sufficient for disqualification of a Proponent and the rejection of the proposal:

a. Submission of more than one proposal for the same work by an individual, firm, partnership or Corporation under the same or different name(s);

b. Evidence of collusion among Proponents;

c. Previous participation in collusive bidding on Work for the City;

d. Submission of an unbalanced proposal, in which the prices quoted for same items are out of proportion to the prices for other items;

e. Lack of competency of Proponent (the Agreement will be awarded only to a Proponent(s) rated as capable of performing the Work; the City may declare any Proponent ineligible at any time during the process of receiving proposals or awarding the Agreement where developments arise which, in the opinion of the City, adversely affect the Proponent's responsibility;

f. Lack of responsibility as shown by past Work judged from the standpoint of workmanship and progress; financial irresponsibility, including but not limited to, leaving retainage in City account;

g. Uncompleted Work for which the Proponent is committed by Agreement, which in the judgment of the City, might hinder or prevent the prompt completion of Work under this Agreement if awarded to such Proponent; and

h. Being in arrears on any existing or prior contracts with the City or in litigation with the City thereon or having defaulted on a previous contract with the City.

16. Award. Award shall be made to the most responsible and responsive Proponent whose proposal is determined in writing to be the most advantageous to the City, taking into consideration the evaluation factors set forth in this RFP.

17. Award of Agreement; Execution: If the City makes an award pursuant to this RFP, the City will prepare and forward to the successful Proponent an Agreement for execution substantially and materially in the form of Agreement included in this RFP.

Execution of the Agreement within 5 business days after notification of award is a requirement of this RFP. Note that the City does

8/1/24 10:09 AM

not intend to modify any language contained in the Agreement as the terms and the conditions are standard, required by law and align with City practices. Any proposed revisions to the terms or language of the Agreement must be submitted in writing with the Proponent's response to the RFP. If no exceptions are submitted, it is assumed that the Proponent fully agrees to the provisions contained in the Agreement in its entirety. Any significant exceptions proposed could render the Proponent ineligible for award under this RFP.

In the event the Scope of Services under this RFP pertains to technology services, the City welcomes the addition of product-specific terms and conditions (e.g., EULA), and such will be exhibited and made part of the Agreement to the extent the technology product-specific terms and conditions are reasonable and do not conflict with the City's terms and conditions. Proponents are required to return any such technology product-specific terms and conditions for the City's consideration with its response to this RFP. If in the City's sole discretion discussion of the technology product-specific terms and conditions are deemed necessary, a representative of the City's Department of Law will contact responsible and responsive Proponents to address any questions the City may have and/or to propose reasonable edits to provisions that are deemed to cause conflict with the City's terms and conditions, or otherwise cause contract ambiguity. In no event will the discussion period with the City's Department of Law extend beyond five

(5) business days from initial contact. For the avoidance of doubt, discussions will be limited to the technology product-specific terms and conditions and will not result in the City's modification of any language contained in the Agreement. Failure to reach agreement with the Proponent on any proposed modifications to technology product-specific terms and conditions within the five (5) -day discussion period could render the Proponent ineligible for award under this RFP.

18. Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act: This RFP is subject to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011 ("IIREA" or "the Act"). IIREA was formerly known as the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act.

A completed Contractor Affidavit (Form 1), set forth in Part 4; Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act Forms, must be submitted with the proposal. Under state law, the City cannot consider any proposal which does not include completed forms. Where the business structure of a Proponent is such that Proponent is required to obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the Internal Revenue Service, Proponent must complete the Contractor Affidavit (Form 1) on behalf of and provide a Federal Work Authorization User ID Number issued to, the Proponent itself. Where the business structure of a Proponent does not require it to obtain an EIN, each entity comprising Proponent must submit a separate Contractor Affidavit (Form 1). It is not the intent of this notice to provide detailed information or legal advice concerning the Act. All Proponents intending to do business with the City are responsible for independently apprising themselves of and complying with the requirements of the Act and assessing its effect on City procurements and their participation in those procurements. For additional information on the E-Verify program or to enroll in the program, go to: https://e-verify.uscis.gov/enroll. Additional information on completing and submitting the Contractor Affidavit (Form 1) precedes the Affidavit.

19. Multiple Awards: The City reserves, at its sole discretion, the option to award to multiple Proponents. Multiple awards may be made on the total Scope of Services or components of the Scope of Services.

20. Cancellation of Solicitation; Rejection of Proposals: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this RFP may be canceled or any or all proposals may be rejected in whole or in part in accordance with the City's Code.
