The GMP must be submitted in MAG or CSI format. The CMAR must maintain all project records in electronic format using UNIFIER, the City's web-based project management database. Responding firms must hold appropriate Arizona contractor licenses, provide current Experience Modification Rate ratings, and submit a bonding capacity statement from a Surety Company with an A- or better rating for the prior four quarters.
