The County will select the proposal that presents the best value and is most advantageous to the County and the public. Accordingly, the County may not necessarily award the proposer with the lowest price proposal if doing so would not be in the overall best interest of the County. The County reserves the right to expand or reduce the proposed scope of work during the contract negotiations based on budget constraints and to award to a single or multiple proposers.
Phase 1 is a pass/fail evaluation of submission completeness ("responsiveness"). Contract Analyst will conduct a pass/fail analysis of each submitted proposal package for completeness.
