Van Fleet Water Production Facility Improvements BVP 13-196 The County will determine the potential BV Contractor who, in the sole judgment of the County, best meets the requirements listed in this Solicitation. The County reserves the right to clarify or seek additional information on any Submittal. The County also reserves the right to re-scope the Project, and/or cancel and reject all Submittals. Evaluation Committee Members will individually review and score the designated Evaluation Criteria of each Submittal. The intent is to start with five (5) points for each of the Evaluation Committee Scored Evaluation Criteria, moving to a one (1) or a ten (10) point score only if dominant information is available within the Submittal being reviewed. All deviations from a score of 5 must have supporting comments and documentation justifying the higher or lower score. Dominant information is information that is: • Non-disputable • Verifiable • Accurate • Measurable in terms of numbers, percentages, or time • Reflective of high performance • Able to clearly show a high probability of successful performance of the method(s) proposed by the Contractor. Dominant information is created by a Contractor and presented in its Submittal. Information that raises doubt, can be interpreted in different ways, or for which accuracy can be challenged, is less dominant information. The value of dominant information differs in every project. An Evaluation Committee Member may only give a high rating when the member identifies a method, process, idea, or other action along with supporting dominant information which shows the Contractor can meet the intent of the County and which clearly differentiates the Contractor from its competitors. A blind evaluation is done by reviewing Submittals individually that contain no identifying information within the Submittal. Contractors are not to provide any language or marks that may act as an identifier that would possibly aid the Evaluator in identifying the Contractor being evaluated. Information an Evaluation Committee Member considers dominant based on any of the points noted above will be discussed and reviewed by the Evaluation Committee after the individual Evaluation Committee Members evaluations have been completed and prior to final scores being recorded in the Best Value Model. Each member of the Evaluation Committee is entitled to change their deviant score after discussion has been completed, however, no committee member is required to change their deviant score if the discussion does not convince the committee member that the information the deviant score is based upon is not dominant. The Evaluation Committee will meet to review scores once individual Evaluation Committee Members evaluations of the Submittals are completed. Evaluation Committee Members will have the option of changing their score(s) at any time during this discussion. Discussion will focus on the merit of the scores. Justification will be required whenever a score deviates from the standard 5 score; dominant information must be present for a score of 10. The team member scores will be collected, averaged, and entered into the Best Value Model where they will be weighted and final scores calculated. 15 1 -7Z' IS
