II. REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPOSAL CONTENT

1. Introduction and Purpose: This section specifies the format that Offerors shall use in this Request for Proposal (RFP).

Requirements for Style: Each Offeror shall submit a proposal that clearly and concisely describes and defines the contractor’s response to the requirements contained in the RFP. Unnecessary elaboration or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the Offeror’s lack of understanding of cost consciousness.
