Council to use RFP scoring matrix; staff points to sample rubric in packet

Dubuque City Council · August 18, 2026

Summary

Staff pointed council to a draft scoring matrix included in the RFP packet (pages 9—11) and recommended independent scoring followed by a joint meeting to compare top three picks; staff agreed to formalize the matrix and provide examples and note fields for council use.

Staff told council the RFP packet includes a draft scoring matrix (referenced to start on page 9) and a tentative recruitment timeline on page 11; the matrix was presented as an example that councilors may use or adapt. One councilor asked whether HR had produced a rubric; staff confirmed a draft rubric and described the scoring weights and questionnaire process used in prior recruitments.

Council members agreed on using a standardized rubric to reduce subjectivity and recommended staff add clarifying examples and a notes field so councilors can document reasons for their rankings. Staff said they will formalize the matrix and provide it before the scheduled scoring session so individual scoring can be compiled and compared at a follow-up meeting.
