SUBJECTI Establishing Procedure for Selection of Professional Contracts
SPECIFIC REQUQ8T(S) OR RECOMMENDAYIONIs? & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recomendation:
In all cases of awarding professional contracts (i .e. financial counsel ,
bond counsel , bonding institutions, investment bankers and the like) ,
the staff shall design a public selection process by which the Board of
Supervisors selects a contractor from a panel of two to five qualified
bidders. The process - should include such criteria as to eliminate
unqualified bidders, a competitive pricing strategy, and other
information which will allow staff to do the initial screening and the
Board of Supervisors to -select the ultimate provider in an open public
process.
Background:
Too often a selection process for awarding professional contracts is
done out of the public eye, and in this county, a practice has occurred
whereby the same bidders have been selected over and over. Price
competitiveness has not been apparent, particularly in the selection of
investment banking providers. Also, the public has not had the
opportunity to scrutinize the selection process to point out flaws or
express their opinion.
Other counties such as Orange and San Diego have resolved this issue by
following a process similar to the one recommended above.
