areas:

information needed for submission of one or more complete CDBG applications and related

documents. The required information shall be submitted in a format to be described by the GLO.

Page 4 of 51

c. A description of work performance and experience with CDBG, CDBG Disaster Recovery,

FEMA Hazard Mitigation or similar projects including a list of at least three references from

past local government clients, with information describing the relevancy of the previous

performance;

d. Describe which specific parts of the Scope of Work the service provider proposes to perform;

e. Describe the capacity to perform the chosen Scope of Work activities as well as resumes of

all employees who may be assigned to provide services if your firm is selected, identifying

current employees and proposed hires; and

f. A statement substantiating the resources of the service provider and the ability to carry out

the scope of work requested within the proposed timeline.

3. Proposed Cost of Services

Provide your cost proposal to accomplish the scope of work by activity or to complete a specific

service outlined above and for any additional services required using the Cost Proposal page(s)

included in this packet. The specific projects and grant amounts are yet to be determined;

therefore, vendors should propose pricing based on the potential funding amounts provided.

The local government will consider dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into

smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and

women's business enterprises. As such, proposers may specify any maximum limit to the total

dollar value of grant funds they are able and willing to manage. Service providers may submit

proposals for any or all activities. Preference will be given to firm fixed pricing. The proposal must

include all costs that are necessary to successfully complete these activities. Note that the

lowest/best price proposal will not be used as the sole basis for entering into this contract; rather,

award will be made to the service provider(s) providing the best value, cost and other factors

considered. The local government reserves the right to negotiated pricing.

Upon the award of this contract, profit (either %/actual cost) must be identified and

negotiated as a separate element of the price for any contract in excess of $50,000.00.

4. Evaluation Criteria

The proposal received will be evaluated and ranked according to the following criteria and using

the rating sheet enclosed:
