RFP ADVERTISEMENT-A Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
on Wednesdays between July 22, 2015 and August 20, 2015, with detailed specifications for development
of an ethics program. The evaluation factors included background and experience of the firm, personnel
qualifications, comprehensive ethics curriculum and cost for development of the program. Thirty-four
vendors were solicited from the purchasing vendor database system; two responses were received. The
proposals received were reviewed by an evaluation committee consisting of staff from the Police
Department and it was found Hillard Heintze, LLC, provides the best value to the City.
