2. For each discipline category, the Procurement Services Division will place awarded Consultants in the Professional Services Library in the order the Consultants are ranked, with the number one ranked Consultant being placed in the first position in the rotation.

3. As each work assignment is identified the next Consultant in the rotation will be offered the opportunity to negotiate that work assignment with the County’s Representative.

4. Should the Consultant decline a work assignment or be unable to reach a satisfactory fee negotiation with the County within a reasonable time frame, the County will contact the next firm on the list until the work assignment is successfully negotiated.

5. Consultants will have the option of rejecting one work assignment within each service category within a twelve (12) month period without penalty. A second work assignment rejection within any twelve (12) month period will cause the Consultant to be skipped in the rotation. A Consultant who rejects three (3) work assignments (or is unable to satisfactorily negotiate 3 work assignments) in any twelve (12) month period may be removed from the service category at the direction of the Procurement Services Division Director or designee.

6. Consultants wishing to reject a work assignment for any reason must complete a Work Assignment Rejection Notification

Form. A copy of this completed form must be provided to the Procurement Services Division by the County’s Representative.

7. Once a full rotation through all Consultants in a discipline category is complete, a method that attempts to impart an equitable distribution of work among selected Consultants will be based on prior dollars awarded; with the Consultant having received the least amount of dollars being considered for the next work assignment.

B. Professional Services Library - Direct Selection

For work assignments requiring unique experience or knowledge, including past experience on another phase of the project, the County Representative may formally request permission to forego the rotation and select a specific Consultant. This request will require the completion of a Work Assignment Direct Select Form, which requires the approval by the requesting Division Director and the Procurement Services Director or designee. Consultants that are directly selected for a work assignment as a result of this process shall be passed on their next scheduled turn in the rotation.
