We want to be sure that we can indeed list them on our team of potential subs-consultants. Exhibit consultants will not be considered while evaluating the Design Teams Qualifications. However, they could respond to a separate RFP that will be issued by the University for an Exhibit Design Consultant. The projects they have worked on with you, if provided as examples, would be a part of evaluating the Design team s qualifications. Question & Answer #81 We understand that Dr. Kenneth Lacovara will be leading the charge on the Geology and Earth Sciences expertise as it relates to the site and facility exhibits. Can we assume that our team will work our appointed exhibit designer or will Dr. Kenneth Lacovara have his own opinion on who the expert? We are seeking clarification of if indeed these services will be procured separately or we work with the appointed firm work regarding content gathering/creation collaboration on research, STEM learning and exhibit/growth experiences and further exhibit phasing opportunities for the program at the park? The exhibit Design services for the project will be procured separately and Rowan will issue an RFP for that purpose. Question & Answer #82 Will you interview respondent teams to make the selection of five shortlisted teams as part of the first part of the procurement process?
