email sent by Proposer does NOT constitute a proof of receipt. The Procurement Dept. encourages

responsibility solely lies with each Proposer to ensure their proposal is received at the specified

files, and incomplete submissions (e.g. Part 1 and Part 2 of 3 are received, but Part 3 is not) may

not be considered.

Fax submission will not be acceptable. Proposers e-mailing their proposals should allow sufficient

time to ensure receipt of their proposal by the time specified.

Proposals should clearly demonstrate the Proposer’s qualifications to perform the needed services

and attend all factors applicable in a professional relationship.

All proposals must be received by Board on or before the Delivery Deadline. Proposals delivered

after the said deadline will not be accepted.

Board or any person on its behalf create no rights or obligations whatsoever except as provided in

this RFI. The Board may cancel or modify this RFI or any resulting solicitation at any time at will, with

or without notice. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, any professional services agreement

executed by the Board will be issued the exclusive statement of rights and obligations extending from

this solicitation.
