Procurement Preference Is there a preference as to the Procurement Method used for this project? (i.e. IFB, RFP-Trade-Offs, RFP-LPTA) What is the justification for preferred method? Prior experience with Trade-Offs has shown we end up getting a better quality product and service without costing above the IGCE. These contractors will be visable to all on campus and are a easy target for scrutanty from a safety and traffic control prespective so we need someone who will work well with the campus and adhere to set schedules, OSHA standards, and professionalism.

Will the NTP be able to be issued after award of the Construction project or are there potential issues that will impact the start of the project?
