In order for the Consultant to be awarded any points for this tab, the County requests
that the Consultant 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 Consultant in their proposal.
Prior to the Selection Committee reviewing proposals, the following methodology will be
applied to each Consultant's information provided in this area:
• The County will total each of the Consultant's five reference questionnaires 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)). Consultants 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
Consultant who has the highest score.
• The next highest Consultant's number of points will be divided by the highest
Consultant's points which will then be multiplied by criteria points to determine the
Consultant's points awarded. Each subsequent Consultant'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.

Consultant PQR 250 11.2
Note:Sample chart reflects a 20 point reference criterion.
The points awarded by Consultant will be distributed to the Selection Committee prior to
their evaluation of the proposals. The Selection Committee will review the Consultant's
proposal to ensure consistency and completion of all tasks in the RFP, and review the
Points Awarded per Consultant. 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.

primary or as part of a partnership or joint venture submitting as primary may not then act as a sub-

consultant to any other firm or firms submitting under the same RFP. All submittals in violation of this
requirement will be deemed non-responsive and rejected from further consideration.

with the E-Verify Program. The affidavit is attached to the solicitation documents. If the
