Selection Process and Schedule

Page | 12

During the first step, interested firms will submit their SOQ. The selection panel will evaluate the

SOQs according to the criteria in Statement of Qualifications Evaluation Criteria above and may select up to three firms as finalists to proceed to the second step of the procurement, which is the Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

During the second step, the RFP will be issued to the three finalists. The three finalists will submit technical and price proposals in response to the RFP. The finalists’ proposals will be evaluated and scored in accordance with the RFP scoring methodology. The firm with the highest composite scores for the technical and price proposals will be selected for the procurement. The final step is the recommendation for award of the JOC.

The City expects to create a final list of at least one, but not more than three firms for this project.

The City will enter into negotiations with the selected firm and execute a contract upon completion of negotiation of contract terms for City Council approval.

The following tentative schedule has been prepared for this project. The Pre-submittal meeting is not mandatory.
