EXHIBIT 1 <br />The proposal must be completely responsive to the RFP. Incomplete proposals will be deemed as <br />nonresponsive and will be rejected. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted and no <br />representation is made hereby that any commitment will be awarded pursuant to this RFP or otherwise. <br />XIV. DEVELOPER SELECTION — PROPOSAL AND EVALUATION <br />After each deadline for the Open RFP Process, staff shall review any proposal(s) to determine if the minimum <br />program and RFP Process requirements are met (minimum threshold review). Proposals that do not meet the <br />minimum threshold review will be considered non -responsive. If the Proposal meets the minimum threshold <br />review, staff will form a Review Panel. The Review Panel for the RFP Process will consist of at least one (1) <br />employee from the City's Public Works Agency, Planning and Building Agency, and Community Development <br />Agency, and one (1) outside agency or government -entity. If an employee is not available in one City Agency, <br />a second employee may be requested from one of the other two City Agencies so long as there are at least two <br />of the three City Agencies represented on the Review Panel. <br />Using the scoring and selection criteria provided below, the Review Panel shall determine whether the proposal <br />is recommended for a pre -loan commitment. Including the scoring and selection criteria, the Review Panel shall <br />also review the design of the proposed project for appropriateness for the proposed target group, compatibility <br />with surrounding uses, cost effectiveness of construction, and appropriateness of the design and construction <br />for low maintenance and long term durability. Proposed projects must receive a minimum threshold score of 75 <br />points to move forward in the proposal review process. If the Review Panel determines, in its discretion, that the <br />Proposal may be recommended for approval, the Housing Division shall request an underwriting and subsidy <br />layering review by a real estate advisor selected by the City and paid for by proposer. The real estate advisor <br />shall confirm the underwriting for the Project, the financial gap, and other programmatic requirements related to <br />the funding sources. If the Review Panel determines that the Proposal will not be recommended for approval, <br />(i.e. the Proposal does not meet the minimum threshold score of 75 points), the Developer will be notified in <br />writing of the decision and the result will be published in the Housing Division Quarterly Report. <br />Each member of the Review Panel will evaluate and rank each proposal using the evaluation criteria listed below: <br />COMPETITIVE SELECTION CRITERIA <br />1.
