The interview will be an opportunity for the District selection committee to review the proposal, the firm’s history, and other matters the committee deems relevant to evaluation with the firm. The interview will start with the firm presenting its proposal and its Project team. The finalists may be required to submit in advance of the interview a more detailed fee proposal. If requested, this fee proposal shall include all charges and costs proposed to be charged to the District, including rates for extra work.

Board, to be the best value to the District.

If the second selected developer refuses or fails to execute the tendered instrument, the Governing Board may award the instrument to the proposer with the third highest best value score if it deems it to be for the best interest of the District.
