10 Procurement Process Agenda Part II RFQC/RFP Approach RFQC Timeline RFP Timeline RFP Process/Steps RFQC Question Review Questions 10

11 RFQC / RFP Procurement Approach What is this approach? The approach uses the same elements of a Request For Qualified Contractors and Request For Proposals. The RFQC allows SRTA to qualify selected contractors that have the expertise to provide a solution to the requirements; but, more likely to be able to successfully implement their solution. The RFP will only be issued to the Qualified Contractors from the RFQC. Each procurement will follow these basics steps: Release of Solicitation Question and Answer Period Receive Responses / Proposals Evaluation of Responses / Proposals Award to Selected Contractor(s) 11

12 RFQC / RFP Procurement Approach Why this approach? This allows SRTA to evaluate each unique solution against the requirements set forth in the RFP. Preserve a level playing field for both the State and the Qualified Contractors. Allowing the Service Integrators t a way to develop and discuss unique solutions in confidence. Reduces risk for both sides. Reduces outside influences. Each of the qualified contractors are all given opportunities to present the best solution at the best price throughout the process. 12
