Hello Erik, Attached is a scope of work for towing and recovery services. Previously, the procurement was assigned Level 2 Safety Specifications.

Are you able to confirm the work will remain at level 2? Thanks!

Hi Trevor, That is a great question, especially since the scope has changed slightly.

I recommend obtaining confirmation directly from Safety. Please contact Erik Earnest at eearnest@octa.net to confirm whether the agreement should remain at Level 2 or be adjusted.

Thank you, CHRISTINE HERRERA mailto:eearnest@octa.net mailto:tworthy@octa.net https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faka.ms%2Fo0ukef&data=05%7C02%7Ctworthy%40octa.net%7Ca722a82836124714a2c708de7eaee640%7C1e952f6cc8fc4e38b476ab4dd5449420%7C0%7C0%7C639087486822056645%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=hX1kxGtyZkR9mKuOC7jp1YBvT%2FOasShWuhvk5LesbuM%3D&reserved=0 mailto:eearnest@octa.net

Hi Christine, Attached are the safety specifications for the previous agreement. Can the current agreement remain at Level 2, or should it be up/downgraded?

I do not think I could be if Casey is because he is my direct supervisor – If you can confirm that for me.

For a 5th person, if I can’t, I would recommend Joe Nakaishi, Section Manager II, Maintenance Garden Grove

3. Please complete the table below to propose evaluation criteria and weights for this RFP. Per CAMM requirements, Cost must be weighted at a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total evaluation score. The total of all criteria must equal 100%.

PROPOSAL

WEIGHT (%)

Qualifications of the Firm 30% Staffing / Project Organization 20% Work Plan 25% Cost (minimum 25%) 25%

Justification for proposed evaluation criteria and weighting:

The criteria are structured to select a contractor that can safely and reliably support OCTA’s towing and recovery needs. Greater weight is placed on qualifications and work plan to ensure demonstrated experience, proper equipment, and effective response procedures. Staffing is weighted to evaluate coverage and operator capability. Cost is weighted at 25% in accordance with requirements; however, due to the safety-sensitive and operational nature of these services, experience and reliability are prioritized to reduce risk and service disruption.

4. Is the contract time & expense, CTO-based, or firm fixed price? Time & Expense (Hourly/Daily rates with a not-to-exceed amount)

5. Is a pre-proposal conference necessary for this procurement? If yes, please provide justification based on project complexity and/or the need to clarify requirements. No.

The scope is clearly defined, and any clarifications can be addressed through the written Q&A process.

Hi Nancy, Yes, thanks for the commentary. We were hoping to have had all the supporting documents before the deadline. The memo is clear in regards to both docs and reqs being submitted in order to be considered meeting the deadline. CAMM staff can’t start on processing until we have everything. Again, not meaning to pick on your department at all.

It’s just for some reason this year, many departments are falling very behind on providing supporting documentation to CAMM so we’re at a pivotal point now that we won’t be able to complete all of the year end and 7/1 procurement actions.

The deadline for submitting reqs (and supporting docs) for RFPs and IFBs over $100K and up to $1MM was Feb 2nd. This procurement is for $435K so the deadline was 2/2, not 2/20.

The 2/20 deadline is for procurements $100K or less. That said, I will discuss Trevor’s availability to complete this procurement by 6/1 and get back to you. The rest of the team already has their respective procurements which they’re working on for year end and 7/1.
