Proposals or may develop a shortlist of the most qualified firms/teams and invite them

for personal interviews prior to the final selection. Interviews will provide the submitting

firm with an opportunity to identify its operation team and provide the MAA with an

overall outline of its approach to operation. Interviews Page 21 of 23 October 27, 2025
