EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT <br />Upon successful negotiations, the City and the selected Proposer will enter into an <br />Agreement. If a Proposer is unwilling or unable to execute an Agreement within thirty (30) <br />days after being notified of selection under this RFP, the City reserves the right to disqualify <br />them without any further obligation <br />L.
