Exhibit A RFQC Respondent Submission Checklis.docx

This is a Respondent Submission Checklist for a Request for Qualifications and Competitive sealed responses issued by Invest Atlanta, a Georgia state and local government entity, to establish a standing vendor pool of pre-qualified consulting firms for Tax Allocation Districts (TAD) Redevelopment planning services. The solicitation seeks qualified individuals and teams to provide consulting and professional services for creating new and updated TAD Redevelopment plans and Investment Plans across multiple districts. Rather than procuring a single engagement, Invest Atlanta intends to establish a pre-qualified roster of firms across six service disciplines that can be drawn upon as TAD scopes arise, with expertise matched to each district's specific needs and redevelopment lifecycle stage.

Respondents must submit all required administrative, legal, licensing, insurance, technical, and qualifications documentation as outlined in the checklist to avoid disqualification. Required submissions include a signed cover letter, certification statement, current business licenses, non-collusion and E-Verify affidavits, certificates of insurance covering general liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability, technical responses to mandatory requirements, resumes and credentials of key personnel with TAD/TIF project experience, organizational charts, project lists, sample work products including redevelopment plans and financial models, and proposed engagement methodology narratives. Optional submissions may include professional certifications such as American Institute of Certified Planners or CPA credentials, as well as value-added materials such as service guarantees or warranties. All respondents must certify completion and accuracy of their submission by providing an authorized signature, name, title, and date on the checklist.
