B. TFTP must show the City proof of its required 1:1 match for each annual Total Funding Amount.
C. TFTP must utilize a competitive selection process for design professionals similar to what the City uses and include the DPW's Architecture Division in the evaluation process.

D. TFTP must present each of the industry standard design phases for approval by the City’s Department of Public Works, Bureau of Transportation and Engineering, Architecture Division. The design phases will consist of: conceptual design, schematic design, design development and construction documents.
