3-112. Request for qualifications.
(1) Purpose. For the procurement of services where the qualifications of the firm, or its principals

same manner as provided under the section titled "competitive sealed bids."
C. Receipt of qualifications statements. Qualifications statements must be received by the
deadline date established in the RFQ. No public opening will be held. No submissions shall
be handled to permit disclosure of the identity of any offeror or the contents of any
proposal to competing offerors during the process of discussion. A register of submissions
shall be prepared as part of the contract file, and shall contain the name of each offeror, the
number of modifications received (if any), and a description sufficient to identify the item
offered. The register of submissions shall be open for public inspection only after contract
award.
D. Evaluation factors. The request for qualifications shall identify the relative importance of
each evaluation criteria.
E. Review and evaluation process. Review of submittals will be conducted by a committee
consisting of various stakeholders. Based upon the predetermined rating criteria contained
in the RFQ, each voting member of the committee will perform an evaluation and assign a
rating for each submittal.
Based on the composite ratings of the submissions, the committee may short-list, at least,
the three most qualified firms to receive an invitation to respond to a request for proposal
or competitive sealed bid.
If fewer than three vendors respond, the committee may decide to do one of the
following:
− Cancel the RFQ. Revise the requirements and re-issue.
− Send request for proposals or invitation for bids to the respondents.
RFQ No. 24-0002
− Contingent upon the services required, contract award could be recommended to
the highest ranked vendor or only vendor, as a direct result of the RFQ process
and negotiations. The award recommendation must be approved by city council.
