BPM007439 RFP Solicitation Attachment 12 - AI.docx

This is an AI Disclosure and Attestation Form (Attachment 12) for Request for Proposal Solicitation No. BPM007439, issued by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) for the Air Quality Accelerated Permit Processing Program. The form requires all offerors to disclose whether artificial intelligence was used in the preparation of their proposals and to attest to the accuracy and appropriateness of any AI-generated content. Offerors must indicate whether AI was used in responding to solicitation requirements, confirm that any AI responses accurately reflect their organization's capabilities, and identify specific proposal sections where AI was utilized by highlighting them and marking "AI" at the top of affected pages. Proposals are due August 18, 2026, with contract services anticipated to begin by April 30, 2027. The form emphasizes that failure to complete the disclosure in its entirety or to accurately represent AI usage may result in a proposal being deemed non-susceptible for award.

The form establishes that any modifications to required forms resulting from AI use may impact proposal eligibility and award determination. Offerors must provide company name, printed name and title, signature, and date as attestation of their disclosure. The document underscores ADEQ's commitment to transparency regarding artificial intelligence in the proposal process and requires offerors to acknowledge understanding that AI modifications to required forms could affect their competitiveness and award potential. No pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor details, or funding amounts are specified in this attachment, as it functions solely as a compliance and disclosure mechanism for the broader solicitation process.
