Upon receipt of a Bidder's Notice of Intent to Propose, OST will provide a secure, password-protected Box folder for proposal submission. After uploading the proposal, the Bidder must send an email to the RFP Coordinator at Contracts@tre.wa.gov notifying OST that the proposal is available for retrieval. Late submissions are not accepted and are automatically disqualified. If an alternative submission method is required, Bidders should notify OST directly. The complete proposal must consist of four separate files submitted using the following naming conventions: - Non-Cost Proposal (Questionnaire): 2026-01-MrchBnk–[BidderName].pdf - Cost Proposal (Fee Schedule): 2026-01-MrchBnk-[BidderName]-Costs.xlsx - Certifications and Assurances: 2026-01-MrchBnk-[BidderName]-Certs.pdf - Attachments: 2026-01-MrchBnk-[BidderName]-Att.pdf All proposals must be submitted in English and stated in U.S. Dollars. The non-cost proposal must be formatted to print on 8.5" by 11" paper, with the Bidder's name clearly stated in a header or footer on each page. The Certifications and Assurances form (Attachment E) must be signed by a person authorized to legally bind the Bidder. Proposals must remain valid for 90 days from the submission deadline. All submitted proposals become the property of OST and are subject to public disclosure under Chapter 42.56 RCW following announcement of the Apparent Successful Bidder.
