17-Pre-Proposal Conference RFQ No. 2026-008.pdf

This is a pre-proposal conference document for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 2026-008 issued by the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, for Marine Resource Assessment & Monitoring Services. The Town seeks qualifications from biological and environmental assessment and monitoring consultants to support continued marine resource assessment and monitoring activities related to the Town's Coastal Management Plan. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference will be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams to provide an opportunity for prospective proposers to seek direct clarification from Town staff. Attendance is strongly encouraged as this will be the only forum for real-time questions; failure to attend may result in no additional compensation or consideration after contract award. All questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted through the Euna Procurement (Bonfire) platform prior to the Question/RFI Deadline, and responses will be provided via addenda. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through the online Euna Procurement platform by the specified deadline, and proposers may not withdraw their submissions for 180 days from the opening date.

Award shall be made to the proposer offering the best value to the Town, with the Town reserving the right to reject any and all proposals, waive non-material irregularities or technicalities, and re-advertise for all or part of the solicitation. Specific details regarding pricing terms, funding sources, contract term, renewal options, and other salient requirements are not detailed in this pre-proposal conference document but would be contained in the complete RFQ solicitation materials.
