Ranking of Respondents to RFP
Ms. Duque: The next item is the ranking of the respondents to the District’s RFP. Proposals were received from Berger, Toombs, Elam, Gaines & Frank and Grau & Associates. An evaluation and ranking sheet have been provided, and the fee, schedule, and other criteria are included in your agenda. As a reminder, the evaluation criteria are ability of personnel, proposer’s experience, understanding of the scope of work, ability to furnish the required services, and price, with each criterion worth up to 20 points for a total of 100 points. I will need the Board to provide me with scores so that we can rank the firms.
Ms. Baluja: I am proposing that we rank overall Grau as #1 giving them 100 points. Berger #2 giving them 90 points reducing in both price and experience only because we have had no experience with them. We’ve used Grau before. Grau is familiar with the District and has performed for us in the past. That is my proposed scoring.
