Based on the recommendations of the review committee, TAMC staff will issue a “Notice of Intent to Award” notice to all responders, indicating staff’s intent to negotiate with the specific firm or firms considered to be the most qualified consultant or consultant team. Further, the Agency may, or may not, also negotiate contract terms with selected proposers prior to award, and expressly reserves the right to negotiate with several proposers simultaneously and, thereafter, to award a contract to the proposer(s) offering the most favorable terms to the Agency.
Proposals submitted, therefore, should contain the proposers’ most favorable terms and conditions, because the selection and award may be made without further discussion with any proposer. The Agency will submit the proposal considered to be the most responsive and competitive to the Board of Directors for consideration and selection. The Agency reserves the right to accept or reject any and all submitted proposals, to waive minor irregularities, and to request additional information or revisions to offers, and to negotiate with any or all proposers at any stage of the evaluation.
