Simple Xerox copies in an inexpensive binder will suffice. If a firm has a standard brochure that they have available, they need to also provide eight (8) copies of it. A copy of each firm's proposal will go to each of the City of Kenai's Council members with the remaining copy retained by the City Administration. The Public Works Committee, comprised of three Council members, will meet to discuss the proposals. If there are a great number of proposals, the Public Works Committee will reevaluate the proposals and then make a recommendation to the Council as a whole. The firm will be chosen by a resolution passed by the complete Council. DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING PROPOSALS The deadline for submitting proposals is October 15, 1982, at 10 a.m. local time. Please submit your proposals in a sealed envelope marked in the left-hand corner with "Engineering, October, 1982." All of the engineering proposals will remain in their sealed envelopes until this time. Even though this is not a bid proposal but a proposal for professional services, we want to keep all the firms on an equal basis and prevent any influence a proposal may have on others if opened earlier. Request for Enginecring Proposals - October, 1982 Page 2 September 15, 1982 WHAT IS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL Please comment or include something for each of the following items and organize your proposal in a logical and clear way so that the Public Works Committee can properly evaluate each item. 1. The firm's specialized experience in the type of work required. Include a record of the firm in accomplishing work on other similar projects in the required time. 2. List the qualifications and experience of the individuals who are going to actually perform the work on this project.

Include a statement when your firm will be able to complete the project. 6. Give the rates at which your firm proposes to do the work with a not -to -exceed figure.

WHAT IS TO BE INCLUDED IN THESE DESIGN PROJECTS These design projects are for complete engineering design, including complete sets of plans, specifications, soils records, and documents so that the project can actually be bid. The City of Kenai would like 30 copies of the final product. All 30 copies of the completed materials are to be included in your not -to -exceed figure. Your not -to -exceed figure should be all inclusive - all reimbursable expenses to your firm should be included in this figure.
