The Selection Committee then discussed the development and adoption of procedures for the review of the proposals received, the evaluation of the proposals received from the prospective candidates submitting proposals, and selection of prospective finalist candidates to interview for CM@R position. The Selection Committee collectively reviewed, discussed, and considered the proposals received on June 30, 2014, from prospective CM@R candidates for the Projects.

Upon completion of such review the Selection Committee members collectively scored each of the five (5) submitting firms based upon the selection criteria as set forth on the attached Appendix A to these minutes which includes the “Columbus PS CM@R Selection Committee – Summary of Evaluation (07-07-14)” and the “Columbus PS CM@R Selection Committee – Score Sheets (07-07-14)” for each such firm, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
