The selection committee may invite up to three respondents to interview with the committee.
If an interview process is chosen, participants in the interview process will be rated and the top
rated firm will be asked to prepare a detailed Scope of Work and blank fee matrix for the IGE,
and then lastly a Cost Proposal, as the second step in the selection process.
If an interview process is not utilized, the top rated firm will be asked to prepare a detailed Scope
of Work and blank fee matrix for the IGE, and then lastly a Cost Proposal. It is expected that the
top rated firm will prepare these items in a timely manner and be responsive in addressing
subsequent questions and comments.
The Cost Proposal shall be reviewed and negotiations undertaken with the goal of determining a
mutually agreeable Not-To-Exceed fee to perform the Scope of Work as a cost plus fixed fee
contract. Should the City determine that an agreement cannot be reached, the next highest rated
respondent will be contacted and a cost proposal requested.
Should the City decide to terminate negotiations with a respondent, the decision will be final and
negotiations with that respondent will not recommence for work under this request.
