4.1 Two Part Submission<br />

Offerors shall submit proposals in separate volumes:<br />

� Volume I - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL<br />

� Volume II - FINANCIAL PROPOSAL<br />

4.2 Proposals<br />

SECTION 4 – PROPOSAL FORMAT<br />

4.2.1 Volume I-Technical Proposal and Volume II-Financial Proposal shall be sealed separately from one another.<br />

Each Volume shall contain two (2) unbound originals, so identified, and five (5) copies. The two sealed Volumes<br />

shall be submitted together under one label bearing:<br />

The RFP title and number,<br />

Name and address of the Offeror,<br />

The volume number (I or II), and<br />

Closing date and time for receipt of proposals<br />

To the Procurement Officer (see sub-section 1.5) prior to the date and time for receipt of proposals (see subsection<br />

1.10).<br />

4.2.2 An electronic version of Volume I- Technical Proposal and Volume II- Financial Proposal, both in searchable pdf<br />

format, shall also be submitted as separate files for each "Volume", labeled Volume I-Technical Proposal and<br />

Volume II-Financial Proposal with the unbound originals, technical or financial volumes, as appropriate.<br />

Electronic media is to be submitted on CD and shall bear a label on the outside containing the RFP number and<br />

name, the name of the Offeror and the volume number.<br />

4.2.3 A second electronic version of Volume I and Volume II in searchable pdf format shall be submitted on CD for<br />

Public Information Act (PIA) requests. This copy shall be redacted so that confidential and/or proprietary<br />

information has been removed (see sub-section 1.19).<br />

4.2.4 All pages of both proposal volumes shall be consecutively numbered from beginning (Page 1) to end (Page “x”).<br />

4.2.5 Proposals and modifications will be shown only to State employees, members of the Evaluation Committee, or<br />

other persons, deemed by the Department to have a legitimate interest in them.<br />

4.3 Delivery<br />

Offerors may either mail or hand-deliver proposals.<br />

4.3.1 For U.S. Postal Service deliveries, any proposal that has been received at the appropriate mailroom, or typical<br />

place of mail receipt, for the respective procuring unit by the time and date listed in the RFP will be deemed to be<br />

timely. If a vendor chooses to use the United States Postal Service for delivery, the Department recommends that<br />

it use Express Mail, Priority Mail, or Certified Mail only as these are the only forms for which both the date and<br />

time of receipt can be verified by the Department. A vendor using first class mail will not be able to prove a<br />

timely delivery at the mailroom and it could take several days for an item sent by first class mail to make its way<br />

by normal internal mail to the procuring unit.<br />
