Van Fleet Water Production Facility Improvements BVP 13-196 Upon completion of the blind evaluation and compilation of all scores,the Evaluation Committee shall make a determination on elevation of Contractors for Interviews, as noted below in Section 3.2. 3.2 INTERVIEWS The County may shortlist(if necessary)the top rated Contractors. The shortlisted Contractors may be required to participate in an interview. The County may interview all Critical Team Members, including(but not limited to): • Project Manager • Site Superintendent • Instrumentation &Controls Contractor The County may also request to interview additional personnel. The County will interview individuals separately (and may perform a group interview after the individual interviews are completed). The individuals interviewed must be the same individuals for whom PPI's were submitted. No other individuals (from the Contractor) will be allowed to sit in or participate during the interviews. The County may request additional information prior to interviews. All proposed Critical Team Members must be available in person for interviews on the date specified in this Solicitation. At the County's discretion, substitutes, proxies, phone interviews, or electronic interviews may be allowed. Individuals who fail to participate in the interview will not be given a score which may jeopardize the Contractor's competitiveness. 3.3 COST PROPOSAL—BASE COST Contractors are to submit a competitive Cost Proposal based upon the base specifications and scope provided by the County. Base Cost, as defined in Section 2.5 c, is the value of the Project before any value added options are incorporated. All Value Added options proposed by the Contractor are to be excluded from the Base Cost. The pricing will be the Base Cost and will not be negotiated (excluding inclusion/exclusion of value added options or adjustments in County scope requirements or needs during the Pre-Award Phase). Cost Proposal must not contain any names that can be used to identify who the Contractor is (such as company names, personnel names, project names, or product names). Cost Reasonableness After ranking all of the Contractors based on the selection criteria,weights, and ratings,the County will verify if the BV Contractor meets the following requirements: • If the highest ranked Contractor is within 5%of the next highest ranked Contractor's cost, then the highest ranked Contractor will be invited to the Pre-Award Phase. • If the highest ranked Contractor cost is more than 5% greater than the second highest ranked Contractor's cost,the County reserves the right to invite the second highest ranked Contractor to the Pre-Award Phase. • If the highest ranked Contractor's cost is more than 5 %below the average Contractor's cost, the County reserves the right to proceed to the next Contractor. 16 In - 110
