This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Los Angeles, California. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The RFP contains the service requirements, proposal content and format requirements, a description of the proposal selection process, and a sample contract. Potential Proposers that meet the minimum requirements identified in Paragraph 3.0, Proposer's Minimum Mandatory Qualifications, are invited to submit a proposal to provide the services described in Exhibit A (Statement of Work and Attachments) of Appendix A (Sample Contract). Potential Proposers should carefully review the RFP and ensure their proposal complies with all RFP requirements. TTC will recommend approval of the contract to the most responsive and responsible Proposer. In general, the greater the number of exceptions to the terms and conditions the Proposer lists, and the more substantive the exceptions are, the less responsive the proposal will be deemed. Thus, a Proposer that lists a large number of exceptions in quantity or quality will be scored accordingly. This practice reflects the fact that a Proposer that is able to accept the Standard Terms and Conditions as is, without any exception, is more responsive to the RFP than a Proposer that takes a number of exceptions to the Standard Terms and Conditions. During the negotiations process, TTC limits the exceptions that can be negotiated to the exceptions listed in the proposal itself. TTC would compromise the integrity of the RFP process if it were to negotiate an exception that the Proposer did not list in its proposal. If the Proposer had listed the exception in the proposal, the Proposer's score would likely have been less than originally calculated, thereby having a potential impact to the ranking of all proposals.
