The letter must state the IFB submission will remain valid for ninety (90) days from its submission date and thereafter until the prospective Consultant withdraws it, until a contract is executed or until the procurement is terminated by the City, whichever comes first.

All information pertaining to the prospective Consultant’s approach to meeting the requirements of the IFB response shall be organized and presented in the prospective Consultant’s submission. The instructions contained in this IFB must be strictly followed. Accuracy and completeness are essential. Omissions and ambiguous or equivocal statements will be viewed unfavorably and may be considered unresponsive in the review process.

All response requirements must be submitted for each party comprising the prospective Consultant’s organization, firm, or joint venture as well as any sub-consultants and sub-contractors.

The City may reject any and all submissions that do not meet the requirements set forth.
