14.C.1. 20-2059 Discussion on Changing IRC Policy for Consultants' Competitive Negotiation
Act Projects to Include New Scoring Categories for Owner Surprises and Past
Litigation
Recommended Action: Discuss
Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum
Commissioner Zorc brought forth a suggestion to modify the County's policy
for Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) projects.
Commissioner Zorc requested the addition of two (2) scoring categories when
evaluating CCNA bids: the disclosure of past or pending litigation within the
last 10 years, and disclosure of any "owner surprises".
The Commissioners and staff each in turn expressed their opinion on
Commissioner Zorc's suggestion. Concerns were raised regarding excessively
punitive measures, with agreement on the value of disclosure as long as it was
not tied to a rating system. County Attorney Dylan Reingold confirmed that
the requests for information were not in violation of CCNA statutes.
Discussion concluded with a recommendation from Director Szpyrka to include
only the request for disclosure of litigation, and to omit requests for disclosure
of owner surprises.
A motion was made by Commissioner Zorc, seconded by Chairman Adams, to
approve directing staff to update of the CCNA (Consultants' Competitive
Negotiations Act) application packet with a requirement for prospective
consultants to disclose any litigation within the last ten years. The motion
carried by the following vote:
Aye: 5- Chairman Adams, Vice Chairman Flescher, Commissioner Zorc, Commissioner
O'Bryan, and Commissioner Solari
