he RFP review process will follow a two-stage approach. 1. Stage 1 – Submittals will be examined by Village staff to evaluate the completeness of the proposal, responsiveness to RFP content, qualifications and experience of team assigned to project, overall approach, project understanding, fee structure and estimate, and suitability to perform the intended scope of work. Based on the evaluation scores and opinion of the staff selection team, those firms best suited to meet project requirements will advance to Stage 2. 2. Stage 2 – Village staff will conduct more detailed review of the advancing proposals, firm, project manager and other resources directed to the project. During stage two, the advancing firms will have an opportunity to demonstrate their combination of skills and previous Downtown planning experience comparable to the scope of work for the Village of Frankfort. The Village expects the project manager identified in the RFP response to be actively involved in the project and lead actual implementation of the planning process and its deliverables if a contract is awarded.
