Step 3 * Issue Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified RFQ respondents. * Allow additional 60 to 90 days to respond. * Proposals from individual end-users will be accepted, but the County s priority is for proposals that use all, or a substantial portion, of the available acreage. * The County reserves the right to negotiate directly with one or more respondents, individually or in combination.
