Requests for <br /> proposals will be published in local and area newspapers, and a copy of <br /> the notice will be sent to current operators. The Division's section of <br /> the state administrative code specifies the criteria for operator <br /> selection. (See attached) All procurement documents (i.e. requests for <br /> proposals) will be issued by the Division, and proposals will be sub- <br /> mitted to the Division for selection. The PIC has a strong role in <br /> selection of operators, based on staff review. However, due to the <br /> unique nature of liability in the RSDA, with the State accepting liability, <br /> the RSDA has a PIC-CEO agreement in effect between the PIC and the <br /> Governor which gives the Division final authority in all matters and <br /> makes the PIC advisory to the Division in all matters. This document is <br /> also enclosed. <br /> I hope that this response has helped clarify some areas. Please feel <br /> free to contact me if you have additional questions. I also look forward to <br /> a good relationship in serving the needs of Orange County's economically <br /> disadvantaged citizens. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> .1C, <br /> Voel C.
