Level of Compliance Definitions
Level 1 - Sustained Compliance under which the County manages the best that can be done
to achieve the service level that their customers have expected and continue to expect with no
back -ups, no SSOs, no off -site odor emissions, no spills, no off -site noise emissions, sustained
quality - compliant wastewater and water services 24/7/365, with no Consent Orders.
Level 2 - Managed Compliance where the County takes reasonable risks, which results in
deferred planned maintenance and asset management, and taking risk for potential non-
compliance letters and enforcement letters where level of service is sustained based on
resources available.
Level 3 - Risked Compliance with almost certain non - compliance with Consent Orders issued.
The reliability of the utility system and the level of service would be compromised with full scale
migration toward break -down maintenance resulting in customer service outage, service
interruptions, SSO (spills), back -ups and property damage.
The final scope of services and deliverables will be determined as a result of
negotiations with the top ranked firm(s) in accordance with the CCNA and incorporated
into the resultant contract(s). These may or may not include all of the services as
described above, and may also include services identified in the submitted proposal
responses and /or as the result of negotiation discussions.

4. Tab IV, Specialized Expertise of Team Members (25)
Attach resumes of all proposed project team members who will be involved in the
management of the total package of services, as well as the delivery of specific services.
The same should be done for any sub - consultants. If sub - consultants are being utilized,
letters of intent from stated sub - consultants must be included with proposal submission.
5. Tab V, References — 5 Completed and Returned (20)
In order for the vendor to be awarded any points for this tab, the County requests that
the vendor submits five (5) completed reference forms from clients whose projects are
of a similar nature to this solicitation as a part of their proposal. The County will only use
the methodology calculations for the first five (5) references (only) submitted by the
vendor in their proposal.
Prior to the Selection Committee reviewing proposals, the following methodology will be
applied to each vendor's information provided in this area:
• The County shall total each of the vendor's five reference questionairs and create a
ranking from highest number of points to lowest number of points. References
marked with an N/A (or similar notation will be given the score of zero (0)). Vendors
who do not turn in reference forms will be counted as zero (0).
• The greatest number of points allowed in this criterion will be awarded to the vendor
who has the highest score.
• The next highest vendor's number of points will be divided by the highest vendor's
points which will then be multiplied by criteria points to determine the vendor's points
awarded. Each subsequent vendor's point score will be calculated in the same
manner.
• Points awarded will be extended to the first decimal point (per Microsoft Excel).
For illustrative purposes only, see chart for an example of how these points would be
distributed among the five proposers.

The points awarded by vendor will be distributed to the Selection Committee prior to
their evaluation of the proposals. The Selection Committee will review the vendor's
proposal to ensure consistency and completion of all tasks in the RFP, and review the
Points Awarded per vendor. The Selection Committee may, at their sole discretion,
contact references, and /or modify the reference points assigned after a thorough review
of the proposal and prior to final ranking by the final Selection Committee.
