Response and consider the Response with the lowest total to be the most highly qualified Response.
The Respondent with the best overall rank for which JEA has determined to be in its best interest, will be
submitted to the CPO for approval as the awardee for this work. Once approved, the CPO will then present
an Award to the JEA Awards Committee for approval if applicable per JEA Procurement Code.

committee (hereinafter referred to as the "Selection Committee"), will be appointed by the Chief
Procurement Officer (the "CPO"), or their designee, to review, evaluate, and rank each Response submitted.
JEA will use the ranking to develop the Short-list of companies in which to proceed with presentations if
applicable.
JEA reserves the right to recommend an Award based on the Selection Committee's initial evaluation of the
Responses if JEA deems the Responses demonstrate adequate competition, compliance, and responsiveness
to this Solicitation. If JEA determines the previously stated criteria have not been met, JEA will finalize the
Short-list and proceed with presentations.
Presentations and Additional Clarifications (Optional)
A Respondent that is included on the Short-list may be required, at the sole option of JEA, to make an oral
presentation, provide additional written clarifications to its Response, or JEA may require site visits to

about any item in its Response. Such requests will be sent consistent with the protocols outlined in this
Solicitation and the Respondent must provide a response back to JEA within five (5) business days unless

addition of the Presentation.
The final rank will be announced in a public meeting. The date and time of the public meeting will be posted
