TMT Request for Proposal for the TMT Early Light Facility Adaptive Optics ("AO") System Real Time Controller ("RTC") Conceptual Design Study.

The Thirty Meter Telescope ("TMT") Project is pleased to invite your organization to respond to our Request for Proposal ("RFP") for the TMT Early Light Facility AO System RTC Conceptual Design Study (the "Study"). Your proposal should show how your organization would best meet our requirements.

It is important to adhere to all portions of the RFP and to not rely on previous specifications, data, or other information presented by the project during the January 29, 2008 Supplier Conference.

Please note that in addition to the RTC Algorithm Definition Document and the RTC Requirement Document, that the presentation given at the January 29, 2008 - TMT AO System RTC Conceptual Design Supplier Conference has been updated. The updated presentation contains information regarding the interface between NFIRAOS and the AO Sequencer that is not included in the RFP Exhibits. You may access and download this updated presentation from the link located in the right margin.

The RFP and its amendments, clarifications and other information relevant to this procurement will be posted on our website. It is the responsibility of each bidder to monitor our website:
(http://www.tmt.org/business/index.html) for changes.

On behalf of the TMT Project, we thank you for your interest in this critical effort and look forward to receiving your proposals.

Please direct all questions and inquiries from this point forward to the TMT Contracts Manager, Pratheep Eamranond (pratheep@tmt.org).

We look forward to your proposal.
