Proposals will be reviewed by a Selection Committee consisting of City Officials using the above selection criteria. Each member of the committee will assign points to each criterion based on the content of the proposal.

The Selection Committee will make a recommendation to the Council that a final award be made to the proposer whose proposal is determined to be the most advantageous to the town with a contract contingent upon funding for the project.
