Black and white requirement does not apply to graphics, photos, etc., Company stationery and logos are acceptable. Printing shall be 12pt Times New Roman. For tables, graphics, photos, etc., 8pt Times New Roman. Cross-references should be utilized to preclude unnecessary duplication of data between sections.

A concise and comprehensive proposal is desired.

Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, relevance, and completeness are of prime importance. Statements such as “will comply”, or “noted and understood” without supporting narrative to define compliance are not acceptable. Elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired.

Elaborate artwork, expensive visual or other presentation aids are not necessary. Page limitations are as follows:

The offeror shall submit its proposal in the following indexed format:
