EVALUATION CRITERIA / SELECTION COMMITTEE <br /> All proposals will be evaluated by a County Selection Committee (CSC). The County <br /> Selection Committee may be composed of County staff and other parties that may have <br /> expertise or experience in operation and maintenance services of sewer and domestic <br /> water. The CSC will select a contractor in accordance with the evaluation criteria set <br /> forth in this RFP. The evaluation of the proposals shall be within the sole judgment and <br /> discretion of the CSC. <br /> All contact during the evaluation phase shall be through the GSA—Purchasing <br /> Department only.

Attempts by Bidder to contact and/or influence members of the CSC <br /> may result in disqualification of Bidder. <br /> The CSC will evaluate each proposal meeting the qualification requirements set forth in <br /> this RFP. Bidders should bear in mind that any proposal that is unrealistic in terms of the <br /> technical or schedule commitments, or unrealistically high or low in cost, will be deemed <br /> reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of a failure to <br /> comprehend the complexity and risk of the County's requirements as set forth in this <br /> RFP. <br /> Page 14 of 29 <br />
