DocuSign Envelope ID:41 B27956-1 C1 7-475E-9558-D6D38ABE1436 <br /> submit responses. The County of Orange reserves the right to waive any informality, to <br /> reject any and/or all proposals, and to accept any proposal which in its opinion may be <br /> in the best interest of the County. <br /> F. Qualification packages may be withdrawn by written request prior to submittal deadline. <br /> IV. PREPARATION <br /> A. Firms are to submit their qualifications and understanding of the services to be <br /> performed. Emphasis should be placed on completeness of services offered and clarity <br /> of content. All submittals should be complete and carefully worded and must convey all <br /> of the information requested by the County. If errors or exceptions are found in the <br /> firm's qualification package, or if the package fails to conform to the requirements of the <br /> RFQ, the County will be the sole judge as to whether that variance is significant enough <br /> to reject the firm's submittal. <br /> B. Qualification packages should be prepared simply and economically. All data, <br /> materials, and documentation shall be available in a clear, concise form. Orange <br /> County does not expect nor will any more favorable consideration be given to submittals <br /> with fancy covers or binding, color photographs, sample plans, non-pertinent <br /> information on other accomplishments of the firm which have no direct bearing on these <br /> projects, resumes of individuals who will not be engaged in the work, or pages of other <br /> non-projected related material. Brevity will be appreciated. Submittals shall be <br /> limited to thirty (30) pages, double sided 8 '/2 x 11 (fifteen sheets of paper), minimum 12 <br /> point font. Covers, dividers, affidavits and Responder's Certification Form do not count <br /> in the thirty (30) pages total. <br /> C. Firms requiring clarification or interpretation of this RFQ shall make a written request, <br /> which shall reach the Orange County Purchasing Department no later than the date and <br /> time for submittal of written questions (see Section V, paragraph C). <br /> D. Any interpretation, correction or change of this RFQ will be made by Addendum. <br /> Addenda will be mailed or delivered to all who are known by the County Purchasing <br /> Department to have received a complete set of RFQ documents. It is the responsibility <br /> of the firm to ensure that all Addenda were received. <br /> E. All submittals shall provide a straight forward, concise description of the firm's ability to <br /> satisfy the requirements of the RFQ. <br /> F. Qualification packages (and copies) should be bound in a single volume where <br /> practical. All documentation submitted with the offer should be bound in that single <br /> volume. <br /> G. In addition to the transmittal letter, the (included) Non-Collusion Affidavit and E-Verify <br /> Affidavit must be signed by a principal of the firm or an officer of the corporation duly <br /> authorized to bind the corporation. <br /> H. If any submittal includes comments over and above the specific information requested <br /> in this RFQ such comments must be included as a separate appendix. <br /> Page 3 of 12 <br />
