The Financial Proposal must contain a separately sealed financial offer stating the lump-sum amount payable to the procuring agency in figures and words, together with acknowledgement of the reserve price. The quoted price must not appear in the Technical Proposal. Bid security or earnest money is 5% of the quoted amount, in the prescribed form, and must accompany the Technical Proposal.

Financial Proposals of non-qualified bidders will be returned unopened in accordance with applicable rules. Subject to applicable law, award will be recommended to the highest evaluated responsive lump-sum offer at or above the reserve price; the highest offer does not itself create a right to award.
