The City of Vancouver (the “City”) is issuing this Request for Proposals, as may be amended from time to time (the “RFP”) to invite interested parties that are not, by the terms hereof, barred from participating in this RFP (each, a “Proponent”) to submit a proposal to the City (a “Proposal”) for the opportunity described in Section 1.1 above in accordance with the terms of this RFP. 2. The City intends to select a Proponent with the capability and experience to efficiently and costeffectively meet the objectives and requirements described in the RFP. The City then anticipates entering into negotiations with that Proponent, which will conclude in the execution of a contract between the Proponent and the City (an “Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may, in its discretion: (i) decline to select any Proponent; (ii) decline to enter into any Agreement; (iii) select multiple Proponents for negotiation; or (iv) enter into one or more Agreements respecting the subject matter of the RFP with one or more Proponents or other entities at any time.

The Scope of Work is current as of the date of open date of this RFP indicated in the Summary, but may change or be refined in the course of the evaluation of Proposals or otherwise. 2. Unless otherwise stated, if, and wherever, the Scope of Work states a brand name, a make, the name of a manufacturer, a trade name or a vendor catalogue number, it is for the purpose of establishing a grade or quality of materials, goods or equipment only. It is not intended to rule out the use of other equivalent materials, goods or equipment. If, however, products other than those specified are proposed in any Proposal, the Proposal must explicitly include under the heading “Alternative Solutions” the names of such products and their manufacturers, any trade names and any applicable vendor catalogue numbers, and the City may request that the Proponent provide specific evidence of equivalency. Evidence of quality in the form of samples may also be requested. 3. To the extent that the Scope of Work expresses estimates of quantities or volumes of goods or services expected to be required by the City, the City cannot offer any assurances that such quantities or volumes will in fact be required.
