Proposal Characteristics

A strong proposal requires technical soundness, managerial capability, and financial feasibility.
A weak component compromises the entire proposal, like a three-legged stool with a missing leg.
Like a recommendation report, a proposal addresses a solution to a technical problem.

This includes the implementation method, estimated timeframe, and projected costs.
A technically sound and operationally feasible solution is crucial (Technical Section).
Demonstrating the proposer's capability to implement the solution is vital (Managerial Section).
Costs must be identified, reasonable, and balanced against the solution's benefits (Financial Section).
