Summary

Following the RFP evaluation, the committee recommended awarding the Bridal Range trail design services contract to the highest-scoring proposer, Respect, with a negotiated fee not to exceed $149,902; members asked how scoring was done and were directed to records-request procedures.

The finance committee recommended that the assembly approve awarding the DAAE Bridal Range trail design services contract to the selection committee’s top-ranked proposer, Respect, at a negotiated not-to-exceed fee of $149,902.

Manager Emily Deetsch summarized the RFP evaluation: a three-person evaluation panel scored two proposals and the RFP grants extra points to local proposers under the code. The higher-scoring proposer was asked for a fee proposal and staff negotiated the amount down to fit within budget. Some committee members expressed disappointment that a local proposer was not selected and requested more transparency on the scoring; Deetsch said score details can be provided via a records request and cautioned that during an RFP the evaluation should follow the published criteria to avoid protest risk.

Committee action: The motion to recommend the contract was moved and seconded and carried by recorded ayes.
