    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.
    • Proposals differ from recommendation reports by focusing on one solution, including detailed implementation information.
    • 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).
