Proposer_Checklist.pdf

This is a Proposer RFP Checklist for the City of Santa Monica Department of Transportation (SMDOT) regarding a Request for Proposals for an Onboard Bus Video Surveillance System (OBVSS) for the Big Blue Bus fleet. The project requires proposers to submit comprehensive responses addressing design, equipment, installation, integration, maintenance, and warranty services for modernizing the existing video surveillance system. Proposers are required to attend the pre-proposal conference if offered, submit questions by the specified deadline, review all formal addenda posted on the City's OpenGov online vendor portal, and acknowledge receipt of each addendum with a signed statement. Responses must follow the specific format outlined in the RFP, address all sections point-by-point clearly and concisely, and be submitted by the stated deadline; late proposals will not be accepted under any circumstances.

The checklist emphasizes critical procedural requirements for proposal submission, including thorough review of all RFP documents before submission to ensure compliance with mandatory requirements and format specifications. Proposers must verify completion of all required sections and confirmation of addenda acknowledgment prior to submittal. The evaluation of proposals will be based solely on information and materials provided in the submission, and all relevant dates and times are noted on the front page of the RFP document. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, funding sources, or contract duration are detailed in this checklist document, as it serves primarily as a procedural guide for preparing and submitting responses to the City's solicitation.
