MPHA intends to retain the firm pursuant to a “Best Value” basis, not a “Low Bid” basis (“Best Value,” in that MPHA will, as detailed in this section, consider factors other than just cost in making the award).

Tab 1: Profile of Firm Form (Attachment A).
This form must be fully completed and submitted under this section as part of the proposal submittal.

-Any industry reports, recognitions, certifications, and/or articles regarding the proposer's related work. Describe any previous experience working with Public Housing Authorities and RAD projects financed with LIHTC equity and tax-exempt bond financing.
Tab 3: Scope of Services.
Describe in detail how services will be provided. Include a detailed listing and description of tasks and deliverables, including a timeline for completing the work.
Tab 4: References.
The proposer should include a list of at least three references from contracts similar in size and scope that were completed in the last five years. The proposer should include contact information for each reference. References shall not be MPHA staff or projects.
Tab 5: HUD Form 5369-C (Attachment B).
This form must be fully completed and submitted under this section as part of the proposal submittal.
Tab 6: Subcontractor/Joint Venture Information (Optional).
The proposer should identify under this tab whether they intend to use any subcontractors for these services and/or if the proposal is a joint venture with another firm. All information required from the proposer under the preceding tabs must also be included for any major subcontractors (10% or more) or from any joint venture.
Tab 7: Section 3 Business Self Certification Form (Attachment C) (Optional).
Any proposer claiming a Section 3 Preference must include the completed Section 3 Business Self Certification Form. Prior to award, MPHA will request additional documentation from the successful proposer(s) to confirm their section 3 status.
