Q. In the evaluation criteria, the WDC uses a score system correct?
A. A Youth Council Review Team will be formed comprised of members of the Youth Council and Workforce Development Council Board that have no fiduciary interest in bidding for programs under the WDC. Review Team members will review and score proposals according to the criteria and assign points specified in Proposal Narrative, Section VI . The WDC retains the right to request additional information from any applicant.
The Review Team members' scores will be calculated. Scores will be used as a guide for discussion and selection of provisional contractors. If no response adequately addresses the services and outcomes requested, the Review Team may recommend that no award be made.
A respondent may not be recommended for funding, regardless of the merits of the proposal submitted, if it has a history of contract non-compliance with the Snohomish County Private Industry Council, the WDC, or any other funding entity. The respondent may be given a provisional award with the stipulation that special terms and conditions regarding the areas of concern will be a part of the contract
