A. The County may utilize a request for proposals procedure when the potential options for goods and services which would meet the needs of the County are extensive enough to make review of proposals more effective than development of detailed specifications and shall include notice of the bonding and insurance requirements of this policy.
B. Requests for proposals may be in a broad range of forms with specifications that are broad enough or specific enough to meet County needs. The specifications in a request for proposal may include any of the following:
1. The requirement to set forth the total cost of the proposal and also the itemized cost of any or all individual procurement items within the proposal;
2. If individual procurement items within the proposal are required to be itemized, the option of the County to accept or reject any or all individual itemized procurement items;
3. If individual procurement items within the proposal are required to be itemized, the option of the County to require that later changes to the work, as set forth in subsections 1-13-21B1 through B3 of this chapter, regarding the individual itemized procurement item, be at the same rate as set forth in the proposal.
C. A request for qualifications may be utilized in conjunction with a request for proposals to prequalify those providers from whom the County will accept proposals. (Ord. O-2016-7, 8-8-2016)
