The RFP says only the oral presentation will be evaluated, but during the site visit there was a comment made concerning the order of importance being the oral presentation, slides, and then the white paper. Will the slides or white paper be evaluated?

A: The order of importance is: oral presentation will be the most important followed by the slides.
