3 proposal information reviewed by the team included project capability, risk assessment, value <br /> 34 added plans and past performance information.

The process <br /> 48 connects value with price, forcing consultants to show dominant value. A rating of"10" is given <br /> 49 if the verifiable performance metrics are used to support consultant claims of capability, risk <br /> 50 mitigation, and value. To further minimize the bias of the selection committee during the <br /> 51 submittal evaluation process, the selection committee does the following: <br /> 52 1. Rates all criteria separately. <br /> 53 2. Justifies any high rating. <br /> 54 3. Does not see the price breakout and PPI until after the prioritization of the consultants. <br /> 55 4. Does not see the prioritization of consultants until after the prioritization is completed. <br /> 56 On August 28th, 2012 interviews were conducted with the project lead only from all six firms. <br /> 57 The purpose was for them to describe their proposed plan and approach to the evaluation team. <br /> 58 <br /> 59 On August 31St, 2012, the highest ranked Potential Best Value Lead Consultant was identified as <br /> 6o LHB Consulting, at which time the clarification phase began.
