Notes	Greetings! Please start your review of the Outside Counsel Services RFP by first reading the Solicitation Snapshot located in the Attachments tab. The RFP Snapshot provides high level details about our evaluation process including the service category and legal practice areas we're bidding, the RFP timeline, and our evaluation criteria. Next, you should read the RFP Scope of Work and the Solicitation Instructions , which are also located in the Attachments section. After you review those materials, prepare your submission by working through each tab from left-to-right here in the Euna Procurement platform powered by Ion Wave . Your responses to our questions will be captured in the Attributes tab. However, key RFP milestones can be found in the Activities tab and any requested documentation should be uploaded in the Response Attachments tab. Please Note: All required (i.e. red-starred) fields must be completed to successfully submit a bid. Questions about the nature of the legal services required or the evaluation process itself should be directed to the assigned Procurement Officer identified in the Bid Contact Info area. However, should you run into any technical (system) challenges or have problems registering as a supplier in ION WAVE during normal business hours, you can contact Rob Kottenbrock at rob.kottenbrock@ku.edu. After hours, you can contact ION WAVE at 844-226-3862 Listen to the prompts to connect with your Ion Wave team - Option 1, then 2, or support.ionwave@eunasolutions.com with your technical questions. Please note: Neither Rob, nor ION WAVE can address questions about the commodity, requirements, or process. Thank you for your interest in participating in this evaluation and good luck! #rockchalkjayhawk #goku
