Guidance note: In addition to Respondent Initiated ITP Workshops, the State may also carefully plan and consider scheduling a number of State Initiated ITP Workshops to detail project issues of importance or complexity and to reinforce appropriate messaging to Respondents. Any State Initiated ITP Workshops should be scheduled within weeks of release of the RFP to Respondents and support the availability of the State's most appropriate representatives. The number of State Initiated ITP Workshops must be balanced against Respondent Initiated ITP Workshops, Interim Submission requirements (as detailed in section 8 (Interim Submissions) and if applicable), overall RFP timeframes and possible ITP Workshop fatigue. |
