Public Hearings

A public hearing may be a formal meeting for receiving testimony from the public at large on a local issue, or proposed government action. Testimony from both sides of an issue is usually recorded for public record, and a report summarizing the key points is generated.


Request For Proposals

A request for proposal (RFP) is a document that solicits a proposal, often made through a bidding process, by an agency or company interested in procurement of a commodity, service, or valuable asset, to potential suppliers to submit business proposals.


Request For Qualifications

A request for qualifications (RFQ) is a step sometimes used in the formal process of procuring a product or service, for example by a government agency. It is typically used as a screening step to establish a pool of vendors (businesses or individuals to provide a product or service) that are then qualified, and thus eligible to submit responses to a request for proposals (RFP).


Advertisements For Bids

Advertisement for Bids means all documents, whether attached or incorporated by reference, utilized for soliciting bids. Deposit Bids at the designated location prior to the time and date for receipt of bids indicated in the Advertisement for Bids.
