The Request for Proposals is being solicited under a multi-step procurement procedure. The first step
requires all firms to submit UNPRICED technical proposals addressing only those items cited in Section II,
Technical Proposal Submittal and Evaluation, of this Request for Proposals. Proposals will be
evaluated and ranked based on the evaluation criteria outlined in Section II, Technical Proposal Submittal
and Evaluation, to select a short list of consultants for further evaluation. Only those firms who are
placed on the short list on the basis of the evaluation criteria will be considered during the second phase.

During the second phase, the short list of firms will be asked to submit additional information and the
selection committee may interview the shortlisted firms. During the third phase, the firms ranked the
highest by the evaluation committee on the basis of the technical proposal, additional information, and
interview shall be solicited for a priced proposal, which shall be subject to negotiation. If a tentative
agreement is reached with the top ranked firm, the staff’s recommendation will be sent to Council for
approval. Council approval may be subject to successful negotiation of a final contract. In that event, the
City and consultant then negotiate the details of the final contract, Council approval of the award is
obtained, the contract is signed, and work may begin. Should the City be unable to reach agreement with
the top ranked consultant, negotiations will commence with the second ranked firm. This process will
continue until a satisfactory contract is negotiated, or the City exercises its right to reject all proposals.

Proposals will be considered only from firms or individuals that are firmly established in an appropriate
business, who are financially responsible, and who have the resources and ability to offer services in a
professional and expedient manner. The City may request additional information as deemed necessary.
Failure to provide such information may result in the proposal being considered non-responsive.

PERIOD OF AWARD
The term of the contract to be from the date of award through the firm price period, and upon the
expiration of said period, the contract will terminate automatically, without notice, written or oral. The
award period will not exceed a total of thirty-six (36) months, including extensions as appropriate.

2
R-1175 Job Order Engineering

EXTENSIONS
The City shall have the option to extend the contract for two additional years from the original date of
award upon the same terms and conditions. If the City desires to extend the contract, not later than thirty
days prior to expiration, the City shall send a notice in writing to the contractor requesting firm pricing
for the next twelve-month period. After the City receives the firm pricing proposal from the contractor, it
will determine whether to extend the contract. All awards and extensions are subject to annual
appropriation of funds. The provisions of the foregoing paragraphs with respect to extension of the term
of the contract shall be null and void if the contract has been terminated or revoked during the initial term
or any extension thereof.

All decisions to extend the contract are at the option of the City.

LICENSES
The successful offeror, without additional expense to the City, shall be responsible for obtaining any
necessary licenses and for complying with any applicable federal, state, and municipal laws, codes and
regulations in connection with the prosecution of the services. The successful offeror and any
subcontractors, if applicable, will be required to obtain an Aurora Business License. The successful
offeror shall provide the Aurora Business License number(s) to Bryn Fillinger, Procurement Agent,
within thirty (30) days of contract award.

AMENDMENTS TO THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
The City of Aurora reserves the right to amend this Request for Proposal by an addendum at any time
prior to the date set for receipt of proposals. Addenda or amendments will be posted to the City of
Aurora web site as soon as available and shall be the responsibility of the vendor to obtain all addenda.
Offerors registered for the paid service shall be notified either by fax or email depending on the service
that they have subscribed to. If revisions are of such a magnitude to warrant, in the City of Aurora’s
opinion, the postponement of the date for receipt of bids, an addendum will be issued announcing the
new date.

Unpriced technical proposals will be accepted at the Office of Purchasing Services, 1470 South Havana
Street, Suite 324, Aurora, Colorado 80012, until 3:00 p.m., December 16, 2002. No late proposals will be
accepted for review or consideration.

comply with DOT regulations covering the participation of small business firms owned
or controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals which is defined in
49 C.F.R. Part 23.

the consultant agrees to use its best efforts to enter into agreements with the DBE firms it
identified in its Proposal. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the consultant shall
continue to utilize qualified and available DBE firms which have been and which
continue to be certified by the State of Colorado to the fullest extent which is reasonably
possible to achieve. The goal for dollar value of work performed by DBE firms shall be

factors are considered in the evaluations. Objectivity is the goal. Consultant
selection should be based on the ability to provide a quality product in a timely
manner.

R-1175 Job Order Engineering

EXHIBIT B, PART 3

MONTHLY TIME COUNT REPORT

The time period that the report covers should be consistent with all other documents in the progress
report package, including the invoice. The time period should never overlap or gap the previous report.

Notice to Proceed Date refers to the date on the purchase order or other document authorizing you to
begin work.

Original Contract Days is the actual number of calendar days given to complete the work.

Original Completion Date is figured by adding the Original Contract Days to the Notice to Proceed Date.

Additional Days Allotted is the actual number of days added to the contract time by a written change
order.

Total Days Allotted is the total of the Original Contract Days and Additional Days Allotted by change
order.

Revised Contract Completion Date is figured by adding the Total Days Allotted to the Notice to Proceed
Date.

Time Lost refers to the days lost for review in excess of the normal review time listed in the RFP plus
any calendar day during which activity on the project was suspended. The description of the days lost
should include specific dates and reasons for the delay. Document only new lost time during the
reporting period. Lost time from previous periods can be carried over as "Time Lost From Previous
Periods."

Total Days Lost is the total of the current reporting period lost time, plus lost time from previous reports.

Days Used Through This Period are figured by subtracting the Total Days Lost from the number of
calendar days between the Notice to Proceed Date to the end of the current reporting period.

Days Remaining to Complete are figured by subtracting the Total Days Used Through This Period from
the Total Days Allotted and adding the difference between the Additional Days Allotted and the Total
Days Lost.

The Current Estimated Completion Date is figured by adding the Days Remaining to Complete to the
date of the current reporting period. If this date does not agree with the Revised Contract Completion
Date, the consultant should discuss in the comment section.

Consultant comments can reflect comments in regard to possible problems with the contract time,
dollars, or other pertinent information.
