A copy of the executed contract shall be transmitted to the Purchasing Division for the permanent file. 5.3 RANKING OF FIRMS IN RFP AND RFQ PROCESS The ranking of firms in an RFP or RFQ process shall be done in the following manner, unless otherwise specified within the RFP or RFQ: (a) the RFP or RFQ solicitation documents shall list the evaluation criteria and assign a maximum number of points available for each criterion. The total maximum number of points available for all criteria shall be 100, (b) each member of the Committee shall evaluate each firm by assigning a number of points for each criterion and then totaling the number of points for all criteria, (c) each Committee member shall then rank the firms on the basis of the total number of points received for all criteria, with the firm receiving the most points being ranked # 1, and (d) the rankings received by each firm from all Committee members shall then be totaled and divided by the number of committee members, to produce an average ranking. The firm receiving the lowest average ranking (ie., closest to # 1) shall be ranked the # 1 firm, and the process repeated until all firms have been ranked according to their average ranking. In the event of a tie, the ranking of the tied firms shall be determined by a comparison of the total number of points received by each firm for all criteria from all committee members. The firm with the highest number of points will be awarded the higher ranking position. The Committee may discuss the rankings and their reasons behird them, and each member may modify their ranking of firms accordingly. If a single responsive proposal is received the committee is not required to assess scores based on the evaluation criteria. After interviews in an RFQ process (or in an RFP process, if interviews are held), and based upon information learned during the interviews, each Committee member will rank the firms in order of preference and a consolidated final committee ranking established. The evaluation process shall continue until the Committee declares the rankings final. The committee may recommend reiection of all responses if it determines they are not sufficient to meet the County's needs. 5.4 PROPOSALS FOR PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (133) In accordance with F.S. 255.065, the County may solicit or accept proposals for public—private partnerships.
