SELECTION PROCESS
In accordance with Section 2.2-4302 of the Code of Virginia, and Chapter 2, Article V, Section 2-191 of the Abingdon Municipal Code, the Town will choose a firm through competitive negotiation. In order of preference, two or more offerors whose professional qualification and proposed services are deemed most in line with the Town’s needs.
A selection committee shall review the proposals submitted. After each proposal has been evaluated on the basis of the firm's approach to meeting the Town's needs, short- listing procedures will narrow the list of candidates for each category listed above. Two (2) or more best qualified firms will then be invited to an interview at which time each will be expected to conduct a presentation on its proposal and to answer questions of the selection committee.
Negotiations shall then be conducted beginning with the offeror ranked first for each category. If a contract satisfactory and advantageous to the Town can be negotiated at a price considered fair and reasonable, the award shall be made to that offeror. Otherwise, negotiations with the offeror ranked first shall be formally terminated and negotiations with the offeror ranked second, and so on, shall be undertaken until a fair and reasonable price is agreed upon. Should the Town determine in writing and in its sole discretion that only one offeror is fully qualified or that one offeror is clearly more highly qualified and suitable than the others under consideration, a contract may be negotiated and awarded to that offeror.
The Town will utilize a selection committee to review all proposals. Members of that committee may check references as appropriate in evaluating qualifications of responding firms. The selection committee will make its recommendation to the Town Council for final approval.
CONTRACT TIMELINE
It is the intention of the Town Staff to present to the selected firms to the Abingdon Town Council for award in December 2024 and have the contract in place beginning January 1, 2025.
