Joint Proposals. Joint proposals will be considered; however, such proposals must be well coordinated and must show evidence that previous working relationships existed. Furthermore, for the purposes of establishing and maintaining clear lines of authority and responsibility between the KPU and the consultant firm, KPU intends to contract only with a single legal entity. Therefore, KPU recommends that interested firms structure joint proposals accordingly.
Joint Proposals. A joint Proposal or joint venture (two or more Proposers quoting jointly on one Proposal) may be submitted and each participating Proposer must sign the joint Proposal. If the contract is awarded to joint proposers, it shall be one indivisible contract. Each joint Contractor will be jointly and severally responsible for the performance of the entire contract, and the joint Proposers must designate, in writing, one individual having authority to represent them in all matters relating to the Proposal and any resulting contract. The Lead State assumes no responsibility or obligation for the division of orders or purchases among joint Contractors.
Joint Proposals. Joint proposals that demonstrate effective partnerships or cooperative arrangements among institutions and among the government, non-profit and commercial sectors are encouraged. (See xxxx://xx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx/hq/grcover.htm – NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook – for the guidelines for of cooperative arrangements.)
Joint Proposals. In the event multiple proposers submit a joint proposal in response to this RFP, a single proposer shall be identified as the Prime Vendor. If offering a joint proposal, Prime Vendor must include the name and address of all parties of the joint proposal. Prime Vendor shall provide all bonding and insurance requirements, execute any contract, complete the REQUIRED SIGNATURE PAGE shown herein, and have overall and complete accountability to resolve any dispute arising within this Contract. Only a single contract with one proposer shall be acceptable. Prime Vendor responsibilities shall include, but not be limited to, performing of overall contract administration, preside over other proposers participating or present at District meetings, oversee preparation of reports and presentations, and file any notice of protest and final protest as described herein. Prime Vendor shall also prepare and present a consolidated invoice(s) for services performed. The District shall issue only one check for each consolidated invoice to the Prime Vendor for services performed. Prime Vendor shall remain responsible for performing services associated with response to this RFP.
Joint Proposals. There are an increasing number of opportunities for Research Infrastructures and other solid Earth initiatives to engage in common research activities as part of different funding calls e.g. EU funding frameworks. These collaborative proposals have the benefit of drawing on a wider pool of expertise than might otherwise be available within a single research infrastructure. However, these is need to undertake an evaluation of each potential opportunity to determine the likely benefits that will be realised through participation for each of the contributing RIs. A strategic analysis of the potential costs and benefits must be carried out to ensure that participation will ultimately provide the expected outcomes, which must be well aligned with the EPOS core mission without diverting resources from key core activities.
