Additional disclosure requirements include any claims or lawsuits related to services provided in the last ten years, terminated contracts, debarment or suspension status of principals or subcontractors with the City of Detroit or federal and state agencies, and whether the proposed solution involves Artificial Intelligence. Respondents utilizing subcontractors must verify their non-debarred status through the City of Detroit's official debarment list and provide detailed subcontractor reference information and project history.
