The first step to do business with the City is to become a registered vendor by visiting www.mitn.info to link to the MITN website. Once an award is made, a notice will be posted on the MITN website. Any deviation from the specifications must be noted on the proposal.
As this Request for Proposals is being made available by electronic means, the proposer accepts full responsibility to ensure that no changes are made to the Request for Proposals documents.
