Staff anticipates the limited response to the RFQ to be both due to timing of the release and <br />deadline for the RFQ as well as to the project scope focusing on just one of seven geographical <br />areas in the ten-year ACP replacement program. <br />Without additional SOQs to review with similar scope, staff cannot appropriately consider the <br />number of firms required by statute. As such, staff would like to reject the single SOQ received, <br />and readvertise the RFQ with a clarified and expanded scope, to include more of the ACP program <br />project areas, in the expectation of making the project more attractive to consultants. A rejection <br />of the RFQ will protect the received SOQ exempt from public records for a period of one year, <br />therefore there is no harm to that firm. <br />FUNDING: <br />There is no direct cost to the County to reject the response received to the RFQ and re -solicit. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board reject the response to RFQ 2024028 and authorize staff to re - <br />advertise the project. <br />118 <br />
