On March 21, 1991, with approval from the TRANSPLAN Committee, the Community Development Department released a Request For Proposals (RFP) seeking consultant services to prepare an Action Plan for East County. The RFP was mailed to forty (40) consultant firms located in the Bay Area representing a mix of disciplines, that included transportation/traffic engineering, land use planning, and economics/public finance. A total of six consultant team proposals were submitted by the April 12th due date. The six consultant proposals were reviewed by a selection panel composed of staff from Antioch, Brentwood, Pittsburg, Tri-Delta Transit, Contra Costa Transportation Authority, and the County. Interview sessions were conducted with each of the six consultant teams. Based on both their written proposal and interview, the selection panel ranked first DKS Associates, in association with Recht Hausrath & Associates, Napthali Knox & Associates, Wiltec, and Environmental Science Associates. The selection panel 's ranking was based on 1) experience, expertise, and qualifications of the DKS team; 2) knowledge and understanding of the problems and issues facing East County; 3) DKS team project manager; 4) transportation modelling capabilities; 5) cost and schedule; and 6) meeting the 2.7% DBE goal At its May 9, 1991 meeting, the TRANSPLAN Committee reviewed the selection panel 's recommendation and approved the DKS Associates team to serve as Action Plan Consultant for East County. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Should the Board of Supervisors reject this request, preparation of an Action Plan for East Contra Costa County would be significantly delayed.
