<br />Page 4 <br />B. RFP Process <br /> <br /> Once the engineering consulting pool is established, City staff will identify specific <br />projects that require a RFP as part of our purchasing policy. City staff will prepare a <br />detailed scope of services and provide it to those consultants in the appropriate pool. <br />The Consultant will respond to the RFP with a detailed proposal. The following <br />criteria will be used for considering a consultant: <br /> <br />1. The expertise and experience of both the firm and assigned personnel <br />with projects or activities similar to the one under consideration. <br /> <br />2. The consultant’s knowledge of particular equipment, methods, time <br />frames and services required. <br /> <br />3. The consultant’s ability to mobilize and make sufficient time, and <br />appropriate personnel available to complete the project or activity within <br />a specified time frame. <br /> <br />4. The appropriateness and flexibility of the consultant’s fee schedule in <br />relationship to the industry, the City’s desires and the scope of services to <br />be provided. <br /> <br />5. The past performance of the consultant with regard to existing or <br />previous projects or activities with the City. <br /> <br />6. The current workload of the consultant. <br /> <br />7. The proposed fees for the work to be performed. <br /> <br />C. Contract Award <br /> <br />Issuance of a RFP and receipt of proposals does not commit the City of Arden Hills to <br />enter into a contract. The City of Arden Hills reserves the right to postpone RFP <br />review for its own convenience, to accept or reject any or all proposals received in <br />response to a RFP, to negotiate with other than the selected Proposer should <br />negotiations with the selected be terminated, to negotiate with more than one <br />Proposer simultaneously, or to cancel all or part of a RFP.
