Question:
The fifth page of the RFP ("Proposal Format") says that the LOI/Tech is limited to 25 pages, with those pages in excess to be discarded. It also says that the information "must be organized in the exact order in which the following RFP requirements are presented with page numbers in consecutive order...(or) proposals will be disqualified." Those requirements are then listed via fifteen bulleted items, from "Company Introduction" to "Supplemental Technical Information". Please clarify which of the fifteen bulleted items are intended to be part of the sequentially numbered, exactly ordered, 25 page LOI/Tech (especially with regard to SF330's, Sub-consultant proposals, and supplemental Technical Information).
Answer:
The 25 Page narrative should be based on the selection criteria as defined in the RFP on which you will be evaluated. The " 25 bullets" in the RFP simply provide you with an explanation and specific breakdown of this information. As far as SF 330, Resumes, Sub-Proposals etc. these would be all "exhibits" to your proposal which should be referenced in your narrative but are used to supplement your technical narrative.
