Committee raises Kennedy Jenks' technical score after presentation; schedule points equalized
Summary
After presentations, the committee increased Kennedy Jenks' score on the 'ability of firm' criterion and adjusted schedule/budget category scores so all three finalists receive 9 points, tightening the spread between proposers.
Committee discussion focused on marginal adjustments to evaluation points after today's presentations. Justin Fox, who identified himself as a project manager and engineer with Hillsborough County Water Resources, proposed increasing Kennedy Jenks' score on criteria assessing the firm's ability and team performance. He said the presentation gave a better sense of the proposed project manager and recommended adding a point or two to KJ's score; the committee agreed and set KJ's criteria-1 consensus score to 39.
The committee also discussed schedule and budget (criteria 3) and agreed to equalize that category so all three firms receive 9 points, reducing the point spread. Justin Fox described the proposals as "similarly willing and able to meet that budget," which informed the decision to narrow the scoring differences. Those adjustments contributed to the final totals announced by Ashley Ruggiero.
