Mr. Brandt asked if any detail could be shared around the scoring, asking how close it <br /> was between the two firms. Mrs. Dowd shared that there was no weighing by category. <br /> Mr. Parks asked if the scorecards were available and was concerned about transparency <br /> and OML violations. Mrs. Dowd pointed out that examples of the categories were in the <br /> RFP which the committee received when it was posted. Mr. Robinson said once the <br /> decision is made and the contract entered into,the scorecard will become a public <br /> document. He followed up by saying that it was determined at an earlier meeting that the <br /> chair,vice chair and Mrs. Dowd would oversee this process. <br /> Mr.Wise reviewed the categories that were in the RFP adding that it was a <br /> straightforward rubric. <br /> Mrs. Gaffen asked if the reference checks were focused on the company or the consultant <br /> that we will be working with. Mrs. Dowd said she specifically asked for reference on <br /> lead consultant. <br /> Mrs. Nazzaro thanked the team for the work done on this process and asked what the next <br /> steps were in the process. Mrs. Dowd shared that she will reach out to both companies <br /> with the results and then open the cost proposal from the company being awarded the <br /> contract. This bid award is based on qualifications and not low bid. <br /> Mrs. Gaffen asked if the School Committee would be in control of the timeline and <br /> process. Mrs. Dowd said that once the contract is negotiated,we can map out the process <br /> and timeline with MASC. <br /> Mrs.Gaffen asked how the negotiation process would work.
