VI. SELECTION PROCESS
Hall County will evaluate and determine which qualification packages are best suited for the county’s needs. The Selection Committee may require respondents to appear before them, if deemed necessary. All information provided by the respondent must be accurate and complete. The respondent hereby warrants that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the responses contained herein are true, accurate, and complete. The respondent also acknowledges that the county is relying on the truth and accuracy of the responses contained herein. If it is later discovered that any material information given in response to a question was falsified by the respondent, the owner reserves the right to terminate any existing agreements between the county and the respondent. Each firm’s qualifications will be determined based upon the information presented. All questions must be answered in full, without exception. Failure to respond in-full may result in the respondent being deemed “non-responsive” and therefore may not be accepted. It is essential that the respondent meets all its contractual commitments and legal obligations.
The Selection Committee will first make a pass/fail determination for each category based on the qualification disclosures, including any previous experience on other projects. Failed criterion is justification for declaring the proposal “non-responsive”, if mutually determined by the Selection Committee. All point-based evaluation criteria determined “passing” will then be scored on the point-based scale as follows for each proposing category.
Qualified firms will be ranked according to total score. The highest-ranked firm(s) may be invited to provide an oral presentation or demonstration of their proposal to the Selection Committee and designated end users.
The cost proposal will not be scored as part of the evaluation criteria but may be considered during contract negotiations with the top ranked firm(s).
Negotiation of Fees: Following evaluation of qualifications, the County will negotiate compensation with the highest-ranked firm(s). If the County is unable to reach a fair and reasonable agreement, negotiations will be terminated, and the County may proceed to the next highest-ranked firm(s)
Task Order Pricing: All services will be authorized by task order on an as-needed basis. Task order fees will be based on the negotiated rate schedule established in the awarded contract.
