established in the RFQ. Based on experience and information contained in the proposals, the
Evaluation Committee invited four (4) firms to make oral presentations on January 11, 1999, All

the criteria listed in the Request for Qualifications:

Results of Previous Similar Projects.
The scores were compiled indicating that a majority, six of the seven members, of the committee
selected Kimley Horn & Associates, Inc. as the top-ranked respondent because of its overall
experience, Duany Plater-Zyberk (DPZ) and CH2M Hill, the consultant for the City's Master Plan
for a Storm Water Drainage System, are both part of the Kimley Horn team, Undergrounding of
utilities is considered to be an integral component of the South Pointe Streetscape Plan and the
ability of Kimley Horn to facilitate this undertaking was enhanced by having DPZ and CH2M Hill

respondent,
In accordance with the terms of the RFQ, the Executive Director reviewed the Evaluation
Committee's recommendation and concurs with its ranking of proposals.
