Proposals will be evaluated across five criteria: firm qualifications (15 points), project team qualifications (15 points), project approach (30 points), cost proposal (30 points), and good faith effort on diversity participation (10 points). Key deadlines include a pre-proposal meeting on April 11, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of April 24, 2025, at 3:00 pm through the City's e-Procurement Portal. Respondents must comply with various city codes regarding ethics, conflict of interest, and employment practices, and the City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and negotiate with selected vendors.

Good faith effort toward achieving these diversity participation goals is a mandatory evaluation component worth 10 points. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are identified in the available solicitation materials.
