2.60.260 Requests for qualifications.
At the City Manager’s discretion, a request for qualifications may be used to determine whether competition exists to perform the needed personal services or to establish a nonbinding list of qualified contractors for individual negotiation, informal written solicitations or requests for proposals.
(1) A request for qualifications shall describe the particular type of personal services that will be sought, the qualifications the contractor must have to be considered, and the evaluation factors and their relative importance.
(2) A request for qualifications may require information including, but not limited to:
(a) The contractor’s particular capability to perform the required personal services;
(b) The number of experienced personnel available to perform the required personal services;
(c) The specific qualifications and experience of personnel;
(d) A list of similar personal services the contractor has completed;
(e) References concerning past performance; and
(f) Any other information necessary to evaluate the contractor’s qualifications.
(3) A voluntary or mandatory qualifications pre-submission meeting may be held for all interested contractors to discuss the proposed personal services. The request for qualifications shall include the date, time and location of the meeting.
(4) Unless the responses to a request for qualifications establish that competition does not exist, the request for qualifications is canceled, or all responses to the request for qualifications are rejected, and all respondents who meet the qualifications set forth in the request for qualifications shall receive notice of any required personal services and have an opportunity to submit a proposal in response to request for proposals.
