Proposal Evaluation Criteria <br />The following information must be included in each Proposal and will form the basis of the evaluation. <br />Proposals will be reviewed and awarded eligibility points for each of the selection criteria below, with a <br />maximum of one -hundred (100) points. For each criterion, the reviewers may award none, some, or all <br />eligibility points. <br />VALUE OF THE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT (65 points) <br />The proposed Project should include identification of proposed Project area and highlight the value of <br />the project to provide information useful to regional communities. It is understood that the project area <br />may change due to results of flow monitoring or project constraints. Previous I&I mitigation study <br />projects have consisted mainly of public infrastructure rehabilitation. The intent of this Project is to <br />expand knowledge of I&I rehabilitation techniques and strategies implemented to locate and mitigate <br />sources of I&I in private infrastructure — such as micro -metering, source detection, and effectiveness of <br />private sewer lateral rehabilitation. <br />Up to sixty-five (65) eligibility points will be awarded for complete responses to each of the items below. <br />The Proposal should be developed in sufficient detail to allow MCES to assess the following: <br />A. How the Project will provide a broader benefit to the region. This may include information on the <br />strategy, technique, technology, or method selected that may be useful to other regional <br />communities that discharge to the MDS. (10 points) <br />B. A description of how the Proposer will monitor, report, and evaluate the wastewater flow and <br />rainfall data; including: <br />• Use of micro -metering technology to identify and locate sources of I&I within the community <br />or proposed project area (10 points); <br />• the proposed schedule, monitoring plan, and project milestones (10 points); <br />• the data collection process, which should include a plan to collect and store flow and rainfall <br />data continually to reduce the likelihood of loss of data during the Project (10 points); <br />• how the data collected will be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of the I&I mitigation <br />strategy (10 points); and <br />• how the project will account for other variables that affect wastewater flow — such as water <br />conservation, I&I from public infrastructure, or others (5 points). <br />C. Conceptual physical characteristics of the proposed project area, including suitability for flow <br />monitoring. (5 points) <br />D. Historical information that is relevant to the reviewer in determining if the proposed Project area <br />would benefit from I&I mitigation. This could include a narrative of how and why the proposed <br />Project area would benefit from I&I mitigation, or flow history that indicates high rates of 1&1. (5 <br />points) <br />ABILITY TO COMPLETE AND MANAGE THE PROJECT (15 points) <br />The Proposal should indicate how the project team is able to effectively implement and manage the <br />Project. Up to three (3) eligibility points will be awarded for complete responses to each of the following: <br />• Include the name and qualifications of the project manager anticipated to lead this project. <br />Include descriptions of other key staff included on the project team, including consultants or <br />contractors. <br />• Describe assumptions used in design of the project and how these can be addressed or <br />controlled during the implementation. <br />• Describe any local ordinances or project -specific approvals that are needed. <br />• Describe how this Project is part of the larger strategy by the community to reduce I&I. <br />• Describe the long-term monitoring plan to be implemented for the Project area. <br />AGE OF HOUSING (10 points) <br />Page - 3 1 July 9, 2018 1 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL <br />
