The request for proposals will state the requirements and instructions for submitting a proposal.

(b) The department will set the last time and date for submission of proposals no earlier than 30 days after the date the notice is first published or posted. The notice must include

(c) The department will make the request for proposals, including a sample copy of the lease, permit, or concession to be awarded, available to the public at least 30 days before the last date and time set for submission of proposals. The request for proposals will include the weighting value or numerical system to be applied to each evaluation factor. The department may charge an amount set under 17 AAC 45.127(v) for a copy of the request for proposals.

(d) In a request for proposals, the department may

(2) set minimum qualifications to be a successful proposer; and

(3) require that each qualified proposer reasonably susceptible of award make an oral presentation to or participate in an interview with the proposal evaluation committee.

(e) A proposal must include all information required by the request for proposals, conform to the requirements contained in the request for proposals, and be submitted in writing in a sealed package to the place and by the date and time specified in the request for proposals.

(f) A proposal must include a statement signed by the proposer that the proposer

(1) has not violated a provision of AS 02, 17 AAC 40 in effect before March 28, 2002, 17 AAC 42, or this chapter, which violation the applicant or requestor has not resolved to the satisfaction of the department or manager;

(g) A proposal becomes the property of the department upon receipt.

When a notice of intent to award is issued, the information in each proposal becomes public, except for information that is not subject to disclosure under applicable law or to the extent the request for proposals allows a proposer to designate certain information as proprietary and for such information to be held confidential by the department.
