Motion:
Ms. West made a motion seconded by Mr. Pacino that the Search Committee approves the regular session minutes from the
meetings of November 14 and December 21.
Motion carried by a show of hands 2:0:0.
Ms. Antonio stated that quotes were received from Bruce Mast & Associates, Inc., Edward J. Collins, Jr. Center for Public
Management and Dacri & Associates, LLC. After reviewing the quotes, she asked Paula O'Leary, Materials Manager to
review the quotes and it was decided to contact the Inspector General's (IG) office for clarification of what was received. It
was determined that all bids were non-responsive because of either the price of the quote that was over $25,000 or because
®vendor declined submitting a quote as requested.
Ms. Antonio stated that it was suggested by the IG that the committee could go out and do a sealed bid through the Central
Register and see what comes in as a bid or deal directly with the one vendor claiming a statutory exemption and gel new
pricing.
Mr. Pacino said that he was hesitant m go through the time involved with a sealed bid and would prefer to meet with the
Collins Center and see if there was a fit. He also stated that the quotes reflected a long period of time to complete the project.
Ms. West stated that she liked the proposal of Mast & Associates especially the integration portion.
Ms. West stated that the scope provided by the Collins Center was too long and she would rather see energy put into the
selection of candidates than on the creation of a paper profile. She would like the effort to be expended on recruitment since
much of the preliminary work has already been completed. We have a job description, criteria and know what we are looking
for. She would like to speak with the vendor also.
Ms. Antonio stated that she would try to set up an appointment with the Collins Center to come and meet with the committee
on 1/24 or 1/30 if available to discuss making their scope more streamlined to meet our needs.
