19 <br /> 1 Chair Price asked about the scoring criteria and said that vendor staff capacity seems <br /> 2 more important than total cost, but there are more points for total cost. She asked the reasoning <br /> 3 for this. <br /> 4 Travis Myren said that these are only suggested point totals and can be rearranged. <br /> 5 Chair Price said she knows the cost is important but that it is important to have a well- <br /> 6 qualified vendor that produces a product they can use. <br /> 7 Travis Myren said the scoring criteria will get them to a short list of two or three <br /> 8 consulting terms, they will then be interviewed, and then a decision made based on a <br /> 9 combination of the two factors. <br /> 10 Commissioner Bedford said on purpose and background, she suggested that the word <br /> 11 "firm" be changed to "organizations" in the RFP. She said on page 13, a line could be added to <br /> 12 say "with the full support of the planning director." She said on page 15, where it discusses the <br /> 13 "in person presentations to BOCC...," it should also state that they need to have engagement in <br /> 14 the beginning, and it should have a review period of the draft by public and staff. She said she <br /> 15 thinks he captured everything they discussed at the retreat well. She asked if there is a way for <br /> 16 those who respond to the RFP to show different options of community engagement. <br /> 17 Travis Myren suggested a scalable community engagement. <br /> 18 Commissioner Bedford said some departments have to do mandated services. She said <br /> 19 she agrees with Chair Price on the score card and to put less weight on cost. <br /> 20 Commissioner Hamilton said she agrees with what she heard from colleagues to change <br /> 21 the scoring rubric to better reflect their values. She said that the framework should strive for <br /> 22 alignment with the other plans. She said the schools capital needs plan should also be included <br /> 23 in this. <br /> 24 Travis Myren said he will add that in specifically. <br /> 25 The Board agreed with changing the weights on the scoring rubric to focus on the <br /> 26 respondents' ability and experience more than the cost. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 A motion was made by Commissioner Bedford, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to <br /> 29 authorize staff to release the Request for Proposals, as amended, for a consultant to facilitate a <br /> 30 comprehensive, Countywide Strategic Plan. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 33 <br /> 34 The Board decided to wait to identify who will serve on the committee until <br /> 35 Commissioner McKee is present. <br /> 36 Travis Myren said as long as they have commissioners identified by mid-November that <br /> 37 would be fine. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 <br /> 40 7.
