Good morning committee members and other parties of interest. The final scoring meeting for RPS 2600269 Professional Traffic Engineering Services will be held in part by means of communications media technology. Active participation will be for committee members only. Provisions have been made for any member of the public desiring to have access to view the meeting. My name is Christopher Alice. I'm the buyer for this project. And for the record, this meeting is being recorded and has been publicly noticed. And I would like to ask each committee member to introduce themselves for the record, beginning with the committee chair. Mike Flick, Hillsborough County Traffic Engineering Committee Chair. Mary Sheets, Safety and Mobility Program Manager, Evaluator. And John Swan, Pavement and Sidewalk Program Manager, Committee Evaluator. Thank you. The committee will evaluate and discuss the scores of the firms that were shortlisted from the previous evaluation meeting that was held. After each firm is discussed, please state the final consensus scored agreed upon so that I may report it in the score sheet. After the conclusion of the scoring, I will verify the scores with the committee and provide the ranking of the proposals. The following are the criteria for this evaluation. Ability of firm and its professional personnel, 50. Second criteria, firms experience with projects of a similar size and type is 25 points. Third criteria, firms willingness and ability to meet schedule and budget requirements, 15 points. And the fourth criteria, effect of firms' recent, current and projected workload, 10 points. That brings to a total of consensus total points of 100. Bonus points for volume of work is 5 points. And for past performance rating, 5 points. So a grand total of 110 points. From our initial evaluation, the four shortlisted firms were Alka LLC, Bay City Engineering LLC, EJB Engineering LLC, and Vive Engineering Inc. Alka LLC garnered a total of 94 points. Bay City Engineering LLC achieved also 94 points. EJB Engineering LLC received 92 grand total points. And Vive Engineering Inc. has a grand total of 93 points.
