ANALYSIS Pursuant to the City's procurement rules, a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued. Sixty-two companies viewed the RFP, and four submitted proposals prior to the submittal deadline. Proposal Evaluation Team: The proposals were evaluated by a three-member team of technical experts from the Library. Each team member independently evaluated and scored the proposals. Recommendation Summary: In accordance with the evaluation process, the overall scores (based on 100% maximum) for each finalist in the respective criteria are reflected in the table below. To ensure adequate availability of titles and the ability to price compare, it is in the Library's best interest to have both a primary and secondary vendor for this mission-critical area. Baker & Taylor and Ingram are recommended as they had the highest overall scores.
