Appropriate use of the information provided is the responsibility of the reader.  \n\n| SUMMARY\u003Cbr>A request for proposals (RFP) is commonly used to select a company in the services industry. Unlike a request for qualifications (RFQ), which emphasizes firm and team member experience related to the specific project and provides only limited financial information, an RFP often includes estimates of | costs and fees associated with a given project.

A conceptual plan for the building, incorporating the latest thinking in the field concerning office requirements.  \n2. Recommendations relative to the installation of different building systems (e.g. , heat pumps vs. VAV) .  \n3. Specific conceptual drawings and detailed engineering and construction drawings that will serve asthe basis for both bidding and construction by a general contractor.  \n4. Help with selection of construction firms that should be given an opportunity to bid on the project based on their reputation for quality, their experience (previous medical projects are given specific attention), their reputation for on-time and on-budget performance, and their financial credibility.  \n5. Preparation of necessary bid documents to be sent to construction firms for the project.  \n6. Review of the bids received to assess the relative merits of each and assist the owner in awarding the contract, as well as in preparing (from a business perspective) an appropriate contract (owner will have legal representation) if standard AIA Contract Documents are not used.  \n7.

Develop a standard fit-out package for tenants and a budget for each tenant, with pricing for custom add-ons and the standard fit-out.  \n9. Regular site observations of the contractor and subcontractors during the construction phase, and sign off on construction drawings to assure that scheduled payments are made, with appropriate holdbacks, when predetermined work has been completed.  \n10. Assistance, where necessary, with the government approval process (i.e. , permits) .  \n11. Final sign-off on the project, assuring that the final project represents what was originally conceptualized and captured in the working drawings.  \n12. Some work on the building has already been done, including a complete upgrade of the elevatorsand the lobby. In process is a complete renovation of the roof. These items are excluded from the RFP.  \n13. This project is expected to be completed by    \n14.
