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