B. RFP Process <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 /> 1. The expertise and experience of both the firm and assigned personnel <br /> with projects or activities similar to the one under consideration. <br /> 2. The consultant's knowledge of particular equipment, methods, time <br /> frames and services required. <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 /> 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 /> 5. The past performance of the consultant with regard to existing or <br /> previous projects or activities with the City. <br /> 6. The current workload of the consultant. <br /> 7. The proposed fees for the work to be performed. <br /> C. Contract Award <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. <br /> Page 4 <br />
