While the RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it does require comprehensive documentation demonstrating equal employment opportunity compliance and business registration. Proposers must complete mandatory forms related to ownership disclosure and state regulatory compliance. The RFP does not provide specific details about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require integration. Additionally, no explicit budget range or award value is specified in the available documentation. Prospective proposers will need to carefully review the detailed requirements for each professional position, as the WMUA seeks highly qualified professionals with specific expertise in municipal utility management and related legal, financial, and technical services.
