Companies who submit proposals per the evaluation criteria will be shortlisted to 4 or 5 firms who will be asked to bid on each project as budgets are approved. The lowest compliant bidder for each project will be required to sign an ACEC 31 contract along with the University Supplementary Conditions as outlined in this RFSQ.
