SOQ Submission Deadline: No later than 5:00 PM on May 22, 2023

As stated in the SOQ, the SVGMD must receive all submissions electronically, as a single .pdf file, by email. With that said, the SVGMD understands file sizes, such as the sample deliverables required to be included as an appendix to the SOQ, may be too large to include in a singe .pdf file. Therefore, should it be necessary due to file size, the SVGMD finds it acceptable to provide hyperlinks in the .pdf SOQ submittal to the sample deliverables.
