EVALUATION CRITERIA <br />The City reserves the right to contact some or all of the respondents to clarify non-material aspects <br />of their offers. In evaluating the proposals, the City’s selection will be based upon those factors <br />deemed necessary to promote the best interests and welfare of the City, the neighborhood, and <br />the community, including, but not limited to, the best use of the Property, change in tax valuation, <br />and quantity/quality of jobs created. <br />VI. REJECTION OF PROPOSALS <br />A. Selection does not Guarantee a Purchase Agreement <br />This RFP shall not create any legal obligation of the City to evaluate any proposal that is <br />submitted or to enter into any purchase agreement with a respondent who submits a <br />proposal except on terms and conditions that the City deems, in its sole and absolute <br />discretion, to be satisfactory and desirable. All proposals should contain an affirmative <br />statement regarding whether there is any “conflict of interest” with the City, its elected and <br />appointed officials, and the respondent. <br />The City reserves the right to reject any and all proposals received and the right to waive <br />non-material formalities and technicalities according to the best interests of the City. The <br />City reserves the right to select a respondent or multiple respondents for the purchase of <br />the Property. The City is not obligated to select the proposal with the highest offering price, <br />as it is considering other factors that are outlined in this RFP in addition to price. <br />By submitting a proposal, the Respondent acknowledges its understanding of the <br />requirements of this RFP and agrees to be bound to the same when negotiating the <br />purchase agreement, if its proposal is selected by the City. <br />B. No Liability for Expenses or Costs <br />The City is not responsible for expenses or costs incurred by respondents in connection <br />with this RFP process and submitting a proposal. This includes, but is not limited to, costs <br />associated with preparing the proposal and of participating in any site visits, oral <br />presentations, or negotiations. <br />VII. SELECTION <br />A. Completion <br />The Respondent’s proposal must be complete in order to be considered by the City for <br />selection. Proposals will be reviewed by the City Administrator for completeness in <br />addressing the five criteria listed in the submission requirements set forth in Section IV <br />(A)(1) of this RFP and Exhibit 1.
