INFORMATION: The Board received presentations from all three firms that responded to the Town's Request for Proposals to prepare a Parking Study at the October 6, 2015 meeting. The Board decided to continue its discussion at the October 13th meeting in order to receive consultant responses to additional questions as well as staff observations on the proposals.
All three firms submitted proposals that address the goals and objectives set out in the RFP. They all have relevant experience with similar work and seem capable of completing the project successfully and on time. The firms offer very different approaches to completing the project, and all three possess different strengths and weaknesses. Any of them could and would do a fine job, based on their original written proposals. Further discussion of each firm's strengths and weaknesses can be found in Attachment C. The consultants' responses to the Aldermen's additional questions will be emailed on Monday afternoon.
The evaluation criteria from the RFP is included as Attachment B. The agenda packet from the October 6th meeting, including the three proposals and the RFP, can be found here: https://carrboro.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=AO&ID=26557&GUID=f83787d3-31c5-4939-a651-b3ba315e167a&N=Q29tcGxldGUgT2N0b2JlciA2dGggQWdlbmRhIFBhY2tldA%3d%3d
