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 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)). 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.

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.
