Independently evaluate each Submittal. <br />b. Independently rank each Submittal for meeting minimum qualifications in order of preference. <br />c. As a "committee of the whole", develop a combined ranking order of all Submittals meeting minimum <br />qualifications. The ranking of firms shall be done in the following manner: <br />1. Each member of the evaluation committee shall evaluate each firm by assigning a number of <br />points for each criterion and then totaling the number of points for all criteria. Each committee <br />member shall then rank the firms on the basis of the total number of points received for all <br />criteria, with the firm receiving the most points being ranked # 1. <br />2. The rankings received by each firm from all committee members shall then be totaled and <br />divided by the number of committee members, to produce an average ranking. <br />3. The firm receiving the lowest average ranking (i.e. closest to # 1) shall be ranked the # 1 firm, <br />and the process repeated until all firms have been ranked according to their average ranking. In <br />the event of a tie, the ranking of tied firms shall be determined by a comparison of the total <br />number of points received by each firm from all committee members. The Review Committee <br />may discuss their reasons for their individual rankings and members revise their rankings <br />accordingly until the committee is satisfied with the rankings. <br />4. After interviews in an RFQ process, and based upon information learned during the interviews, <br />each committee member may change his or her ranking of firms. The evaluation process shall <br />continue until the evaluation committee declares the rankings final. <br />d. The County may, solely at its own option, seek additional Statements of Qualifications with this or a <br />similar RFQ in the event the County, solely at its own option, determines that the quantity and/or <br />quality of Submittals received is insufficient to meet the County's needs and/or that award of a contract <br />arising from this RFQ would not be in the public interest. <br />Page 4 of 11 <br />19 <br />
