8/9/22, 11:16 AM www-text.html <br />For more information, contact Public Works <br />Kittitas County shall evaluate statements of qualifications and performance data submitted by firms regarding <br />the proposed services. Following the evaluation, the county may invite one or more firms to meet with county <br />officials to discuss services and the relative benefits of various methods of providing the desired services. The <br />county then selects from among those firms the one "most highly qualified" to provide the required services. <br />County procedures and guidelines are to include a plan to ensure that women, minority, and veteran -owned firms <br />have the maximum opportunity to compete for the contract. The level of firm participation should be consistent <br />with their availability within the relevant professional community. <br />If a satisfactory contract cannot be negotiated, the county formally terminates the negotiations with that firm and <br />attempts to negotiate a contract with the next most qualified firm. The process continues until an agreement is <br />reached or the search is terminated. <br />In emergency situations, the process outlined above for procuring services may be dispensed with upon a finding <br />by the county that an emergency requires the immediate execution of the work involved. <br />All submittals shall become the property of Kittitas County. <br />Kittitas County reserves the right to reject all submittals and re -advertise if necessary. <br />file:///C:/Users/rebecca.crose.pw/Downloads/www-text.html 1/1 <br />
