Request for proposal invitations were mailed to thirty-seven vendors and

specifications were posted on the City?s website and Georgia Procurement

Registry. The RFP has been advertised, opened and evaluated. Proposals were

received on March 19, 2010, from the following five offerors.

E. Heinzelman & Associates, Inc., were deemed responsive to the RFP. The

negotiated components are made public until after the award of the contract.

If Council does not approve the recommended offerors, the RFP specifications

will be re-advertised. The cost information has been submitted to the City

Manager in a separate memo for informational purposes.
