All Proposals submitted become property of the City. Pricing shall remain firm for the entire initial Agreement term. Thereafter, any proposed pricing adjustment for follow-on renewal periods shall be submitted to the City Representative in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to the new Agreement term.

(This information may be found on the U.S. Department of Labor’s website at www.bls.gov.) H. PROTEST PROCEDURES Only respondents who have actually submitted a proposal may file a “protest” to an RFP with the City’s Purchasing Department. In order for a Proposer’s protest to be considered valid, the protest must: 1. Be filed in writing before 5:00 p.m. of the 5th business day following the posting of RFP Results/Notice of Intent to Award on the City’s online bidding system; 2. Clearly identify the specific irregularity or accusation; 3. Clearly identify the specific City staff determination or recommendation being protested; 4. Specify, in detail, the grounds of the protest and the facts supporting the protest; and 5. Include all relevant, supporting documentation with the protest at time of filing. If the protest does not comply with each of these requirements, it will be rejected as invalid. If the protest is valid, the City’s Purchasing manager, or other designated City staff member, shall review the basis of the protest and ask relevant information. The decision from the Purchasing Manager, or his/her designee, is final and no further appeals will be considered. VI.
