He did not see the <br /> wisdom of changing the RFQ at this time. <br /> Commissioner Zorc sought and received confirmation that a company that was locally <br /> based would no longer qualify for extra points, as had formerly been the practice. <br /> Commissioner O ' Bryan felt the rating system that was used to evaluate/rank the RFQs <br /> could lead to inconsistencies and skewed ratings . <br /> Administrator Baird responded that the current rating method has evolved because of all <br /> the problems that have occurred with rating systems that were previously employed. <br /> Commissioner Solari declared that if the Board wants to employ a different ratings <br /> system, that matter should be discussed at a future Board meeting. He advocated moving ahead <br /> with staff s recommendation for this specific RFQ, based on the existing procedures followed by <br /> the selection committee. <br /> MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari , <br /> SECONDED by Chairman Flescher, to approve staff' s <br /> recommendation. <br /> Commissioner Zorc spoke to the value of employing local people and wanted the Board <br /> to revisit allotting extra points to locally-based companies .
