However, the Procurement Director, or designee, reserves the right to accept proposals received after the posted close time under the following conditions:  The tardy submission of the proposal is due to the following circumstances, which may include but not be limited to: late delivery by commercial carrier such as Fed Ex, UPS or courier where delivery was scheduled before the deadline.  The acceptance of said proposal does not afford any competing firm an unfair advantage in the selection process.

List the Solicitation Number and Title on the outside of the box or envelope. 7.

Evaluation of Proposals Collier County will evaluate and select these Services in accordance with Florida Statute 287.055, Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act. 16.A.2.b Packet Pg. 540 Attachment: 16-7016 Solicitation (36 pages) (2616 : 16-7016 Consultant Negotiations Independent Review) RFP CCNA Template_06132016 16-7016 Independent Peer Review of Bridge Replacement or Rehabilitation Projects, Project Number 66066 The County’s procedure for selecting is as follows: 1. The County Manager or designee shall appoint a selection committee to review all proposals submitted. 2. The Request for Proposal is issued. 3. Subsequent to the receipt closing date for the proposals, the Procurement professional will review the proposals received and verify each proposal to determine if it minimally responds to the requirements of the published RFP. 4. Selection committee meetings will be open to the public and the Procurement professional will publicly post prior notice of such meeting(s) in the lobby of the Procurement Services Division Building and on the County’s Procurement Services Internet site. 5. Prior to the first meeting (Organization Meeting) of the selection committee, the Procurement professional will post a notice announcing the date, time and place of the meeting at least three (3) working days prior to the meeting. At the initial organization meeting, the selection committee members will receive instructions, the submitted proposals, and establish the next selection committee meeting date and time. After the first meeting, the Procurement professional will publically announce all subsequent committee meeting dates and times. The subsequent meeting dates and times will be posted with at least one (1) day advanced notice. 6. Selection committee members will independently review and score each proposal based on the evaluation criteria stated in the request for proposal using the Individual Selection Committee Score and Rank Form and prepare comments for discussion at the next meeting. The Individual Selection Committee Score and Rank Form is merely a tool to assist the selection committee member in their review of the proposals. 7. At the scheduled selection meeting, the members will present their independent findings / conclusions / comments based on their reading and interpretation of the materials presented to each other, and may ask questions of one another. At the conclusion of that discussion, members of the public will be offered an opportunity (not to exceed three (3) minutes) to provide comments. 8. At the conclusion of public comments (provided for in number 7), the selection committee members will individually rank order each proposer. Collier County selection committee members may consider all the material submitted by the Proposer and other information Collier County may obtain to determine whether the Proposer is capable of and has a history of successfully completing projects of this type, including, without limitation, additional information Collier County may request, clarification of proposer information, public comments, and/or additional credit information. 9. Once the individual ranking has been completed, the Procurement professional will direct selection committee members to read their individual ranking publically. The Procurement professional will record individual rankings on the Final Ranking Sheet which will mathematically compile into an overall selection committee rank of proposers. 10. In any of the selection committee meeting deliberations, by consensus, members may request to invite proposers in to clarify their proposals, ask for additional information, present materials, interview, ask questions, etc. The members may consider any and all information obtained through this method in formulating their individual ranking and subsequent selection committee overall ranking and final ranking. 16.A.2.b Packet Pg. 541 Attachment: 16-7016 Solicitation (36 pages) (2616 : 16-7016 Consultant Negotiations Independent Review) RFP CCNA Template_06132016 16-7016 Independent Peer Review of Bridge Replacement or Rehabilitation Projects, Project Number 66066 11. The selection committee’s overall rank of firms in order of preference (from highest beginning with a rank of one (1) to the lowest) will be discussed and reviewed by the Procurement Strategist. By final consensus, and having used all information presented (proposal, presentation, references, etc.), the selection committee members will create a final ranking and staff will subsequently enter into negotiations. Award of the contract is dependent upon the successful and full execution of a mutually agreed contract, pending the final approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The County reserves the right to withdraw this RFP at any time and for any reason, and to issue such clarifications, modifications, addendums, and/or amendments as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited, to requesting supplemental proposal information. Receipt of a proposal by the County or a submission of a proposal to the County offers no rights upon the Consultant nor obligates the County in any manner. Acceptance of the proposal does not guarantee issuance of any other governmental approvals. Proposals which include provisions requiring the granting of zoning variances may not be considered. 10. References The County reserves the right to contact any and all references submitted as a result of this solicitation. 11. Proposal Selection Committee and Evaluation Factors The County Manager or designee will appoint a Selection Committee to review all proposals submitted.

This information will be based on information provided by the Consultant, subject to verification at the County’s option. If there is a multiple firm tie in either individual scoring or final ranking, the firm with the lowest volume of work shall receive the higher ranking, the firm with the next lowest volume of work shall receive the next highest ranking and so on. 12.
