Sample_Proposal_Structure.pdf

The document is a sample proposal structure template for a firm applying to multiple categories or sub-categories in a state and local contract opportunity. The template provides a comprehensive framework for responding to the Ada County Highway District's (ACHD) 2025-2027 On-Call Consultant Services (OCCS) Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The proposed structure includes six key chapters: a title/cover page, firm history and organization, understanding of service category requirements, relevant project descriptions for up to three categories, key personnel summary resumes, and control procedures. The document outlines a systematic approach for firms to demonstrate their qualifications across multiple service categories, including design, bridge inspection, environmental services, traffic signal timing, construction inspection, geotechnical services, surveying, transportation planning, and public involvement.

The proposal structure is designed to help firms comprehensively showcase their capabilities for the three-year OCCS contract, which will run from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2027. Firms are required to submit a single combined PDF electronic response for the overall project and each individual category through the OpenGov online portal. The template suggests a modular approach where firms can replicate chapters for each category they are applying to, allowing for a standardized yet flexible submission that highlights the firm's expertise, relevant experience, key personnel, and project understanding across different service domains. Failure to submit an electronic response for the overall project may result in category-specific submissions being deemed non-responsive.
