2.3.3 Interviews

Upon completion of Phase 2 as detailed in Section 2.3.1(2) above, the County reserves the right, but is not obligated, to enter into Phase 3 Interviews with a certain number of vendors submitting the highest-ranked proposals.

This Phase 3 will offer the County and the vendor an opportunity to ask questions, clarify responses, and gain a deeper assessment of compliance and capabilities.

The County will award points for each interview based on the strength of information presented related to established criteria.

It is the intent of the County to award one contract to the vendor with the highest overall ranking after completion of all applicable evaluation phases. However, if the County believes it is in the County’s best interest to award more than one contract, then the County may award more than one contract to any number of vendors with the highest overall rankings.
