Pre-proposal conference - This meeting is designed to clarify the information that is contained in the Sourcing Event and provide an opportunity for questions and answers. All questions referenced in the pre-proposal will need to be submitted through the sourcing event for those parties interested. The County may require certain non-negotiable contract terms in accordance with local, state, or federal law Any Proposer requiring clarification of the provisions of a Sourcing Event must submit specific questions electronically through the Sourcing Event Questions and Answers (Q & A). Any protest must address the requirement, provision or feature of the Sourcing Event or its attachments, including but not limited to the contract, that the potential Proposer believes is ambiguous, unclear, unfair, contrary to law or likely to limit competition. The purpose is to allow the County time to correct any term or condition in the Sourcing Event and/or contract that may be unlawful, improvident, unduly restrictive of competition, or otherwise inappropriate. By allowing corrections before opening Proposals, the County intends to avoid or minimize much of the waste inherent in protests and in the possible rejection of all Proposals. Failure of a Proposer to protest in accordance with this section shall be deemed in acceptance of the terms of the Sourcing Event and contract, and serve as a waiver of Proposer's rights to later contend that either the Sourcing Event or contract is ambiguous, unclear, unfair, contrary to law or likely to limit competition. Multnomah County reserves all rights regarding the Sourcing Event, including but not limited to the right to: 1. Cancel the Sourcing Event at any time and not award a contract; 2. Award a contract in part; 3. Reject any and all Proposals in whole or in part; and 4. Waive technical defects, minor irregularities and omissions if, in its judgment, the best interests of the County will be served. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time. Question Submission Close Date
