For any questions relating to the electronic submittal, call Plan House at 662-687-1209. Interested and qualified respondents/firms that submit electronically, MUST submit RFP Packages with the same information, forms, and requirements as for Sealed RFP Packages. When submitting electronically, the RFP Package must be submitted as a single "PDF" file with the first page bearing the name of the respondent, his mailing address, and the name of the RFP for which the RFP Package is submitted. When RFP Packages are submitted electronically, respondents must ensure that their electronic submission can be accessed and viewed by the County immediately upon opening. The County will consider any file that cannot be immediately accessed and viewed at the time of the opening (such as, encrypted files, password protected files, or incompatible files) to be blank or incomplete as context requires and are therefore unacceptable. A respondent will not be permitted to unencrypt files, remove password protections, or resubmit documents after opening to make a file viewable if those documents are required with the RFP Package. Electronic RFP Packages must be secured with a blue ink signature or an electronic signature.
