Each firms' Statement of Qualifications was evaluated based upon pre-established selection criteria which included qualification of personnel, firm's past performance on City projects, firm's experience, equipment inventory, ability to respond to City's requests for services, financial responsibility, references and small business enterprise provision compliance. The selection criteria were included in the RFQ. Fifteen firms were selected for face-to- face interviews and evaluated again upon pre-established selection criteria which included experience, availability and responsiveness, safety, accountability, GIS capabilities, record drawing capabilities, professionalism and customer service. Survey Division staff recommended the indicated firms for award of contract. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ID=21771&councildate=12/15/2015[12/21/2015 4:31:26 PM] M&C Review RENEWALS - Each of these contracts may be renewed up to two additional terms, which are one year or the fulfillment of the contract amount, whichever comes first.
