Attendance at this conference is vital to the preparation of a competitive, cost effective, and accurate proposal in accordance with the technical and price requirements. It will enable the contractor to become acquainted with the areas which require special attention. An official tour of the building will be conducted at the start of the pre-proposal conference. We will then return to the original meeting room to complete the pre-solicitation conference and take questions.
