If no limitations for contact were stated in the RFP, it is appropriate to contact the customer to offer any clarifications, to see if any questions need to be answered, or to express continued interest in the project. This shows initiative on the part of the contractor and can help build a positive relationship with the customer. Waiting for the customer to contact the contractor may result in missed opportunities or a loss of interest on the customer's part.
