ATU serves students from across Arkansas, the region, and the nation, offering associate, undergraduate, and graduate degree programs through multiple academic colleges. Arkansas Tech University is committed to academic excellence, workforce development, and responsible stewardship of its physical campus. The University continually invests in facilities that support teaching, research, student life, and community engagement. 3.0 SELECTION PROCESS and AWARD Proposals will be evaluated in three (3) phases. Phase One – Compliance Review Procurement Services will determine whether each proposal meets all mandatory requirements of this RFP. Failure to comply may result in a proposal being deemed non-responsive. The University reserves the right to waive minor irregularities. In order to simplify the University’s task of evaluating all of the proposals we have developed a format in which all proposals must be prepared. Failure to adhere to this format or omitting any of the information that is required may result in your firm’s proposal being disqualified. Phase Two – Technical and Business Evaluation An evaluation committee appointed by Arkansas Tech University will review and score the technical and business proposals in accordance with the criteria outlined in Section 6. Pricing will be provided to the committee during the initial evaluation term.
