RFQ Questions & Answers

 
Questions
Village Response
1.
 "There is a 15 page limit. If we want to include a cover and dividers would those count towards that 15 page limit?" The page limit is intended to limit qualifications content to 15 pages, so dividers and blank pages will not count – and the Transmittal Sheet won’t count either. However, the RFQs specify the Cover Page is to have a Statement of Interest and therefore would be considered content, so it would count toward the limit. 
2.
 "Is a general technical approach required? We note that it is listed in the selection criteria, but not in the minimum requirements." The Selection Criteria is meant as an objective framework for evaluating and scoring prospective Firms’ submissions. A Firm may choose to tailor their submission to specifically address the scoring components (i.e. provide narrative demonstrating their technical approach) by use of subheadings or other direct means, but it is not required. For example, if a Firm chooses to demonstrate their Technical Approach in an indirect way by fleshing out their Project Overview (or some other component of the submission), that is perfectly acceptable. If a Firm does choose to directly address Technical Approach, it would be advisable to keep it at a high level and focus on how the approach aligns with the Village’s interests, and how the approach adds value or mitigates risk. What we are not looking for is an itemization of “First we do this, then we do that…”.
A note on the minimum requirements – they are truly just minimum requirements. Provided they are satisfied, Firms may take liberties/creative license with the inclusion of any other content and/or formatting that best suits their submission.

 "The instructions mention a transmittal sheet from the Project Liaison to the Village Contact, but there is no detail description of what is expected.” The Village does not have a standard Transmittal Sheet. Firms may use their own in-house transmittal sheet to satisfy this requirement.
