VII. Project Control Control of the project shall remain the total responsibility of the City of Santa Ana. Vill. Consultant Selection The City of Santa Ana will evaluate the consultants based on technical criteria and qualifications listed within the RFQ, reference checks, and other information, which will be gathered independently. Upon selection, the City will provide the firm with a new vendor packet. All information within the packet and any additional information must be submitted back to the City in order to be included on the final list for City Council approval. A final listing of the most qualified consultants will then be established and subsequently be approved by City Council. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted and no representation is made hereby that any contract will be awarded pursuant to this RFQ or otherwise. IX. Filing a Protest Bidders may file a "protest" with the City's Planning Agency. In order for a vendor's protest to be considered valid, the protest must: 1. Be filed in writing within five (5) business days of either the RFP posted date or before 5:00 p.m. of the 5th business day following the posting of RFP results/Notice of Intent to Award Contract on the City's website; 2. Clearly identify the specific irregularity or accusation; 3. Clearly identify the specific City staff determination or recommendation being protested; 4. Specify, in detail, the grounds of the protest and the facts supporting the protest; and 5. Include all relevant, supporting documentation with the protest at time of filing. If the protest does not comply with each of these requirements, it will be rejected as invalid. If the protest is valid, the City's Planning Manager, or other designated City staff member, shall review the basis of the protest and all relevant information. The Planning Manager will provide a written decision to the protestor within fourteen (14) calendar days from receipt of protest. The decision from the Planning Manager, or her/her designee, is final and no further appeals will be considered. 7 19E-10
