D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 27-4805
The DC OP3 may accept unsolicited proposals for P3s.
Time Periods for Acceptance of Unsolicited Proposals: The DC OP3 will accept unsolicited proposals during limited time periods to ensure that the proposals can be fully reviewed within the time limits stated in the P3 Act. The time periods during which the DC OP3 will accept unsolicited proposals will be published in the Guidelines and in the DC Register, on the DC OP3 website and any other publications deemed appropriate.
Discussions with DC OP3 before Submission of Unsolicited Proposal: Private entities are encouraged to contact the DC OP3 to arrange a meeting to discuss their ideas and concepts for unsolicited proposals before developing or submitting an unsolicited proposal. These meetings, which may include the relevant Owner Agencies, will be useful for all parties to determine the viability and desirability of a P3 project before a proposal is written. This informal discussion process will aid the DC OP3 and private entities to maintain an environment of open communication needed to achieve the goals of the District P3 program. No proposals or project information will be accepted by the DC OP3, Owner Agencies or any other representative of the District government during these meetings. Such meetings will be confidential to the extent allowed by the Freedom of Information Act, including statutory exclusions that protect proprietary information among other things.
Structure and Format of Unsolicited Proposals: An unsolicited proposal must follow the format outlined in the Guidelines and must include a signature of the authorized corporate officer of the proposer.
