Selection Criteria All proposals submitted will be evaluated against all proposals using the rating criteria, which is a part of this RFP package, and ranked by a proposal review committee. Proposals may not be funded at the funding levels requested. The highest ranking numerical score does not assure a funding recommendation. Other factors which may be considered include, but are not limited to: several proposals to provide the same or similar services; past performance of individual agencies; duplication of services; costs, array of services, likelihood to result in employment; location of services; relevant experience and qualifications; or financial viability and stability of the agency. LVWDB reserves the right, at its sole and complete discretion, to invite proposer(s) to make a presentation to the RFP Review Committee as a step in the selection process. LVWDB also reserves the right, at its discretion, to conduct pre-selection site visits to any organization that is being considered for funding under this solicitation. Administrative Requirements Proposer(s) must be able to demonstrate the necessary administrative capability and fiscal responsibility needed to operate the program proposed and to meet federal financial accountability requirements. Proposer’s organization may be subject to a pre-award review. This may include, but not be limited to, a review of proposer(s) record keeping procedures, management systems, accounting and administrative systems, training facilities, and curriculum. Any proposer(s), after a pre-award survey, that is determined by LVWDB to not have the fiscal capability to manage the grant funds will be required to post a performance bond, or may be rejected as a provider at the discretion of LVWDB. The cost of the bond cannot be charged to the project proposed. LVWDB reserves the right to review budgets to determine the fiscal capacity of the proposer(s) and may deem a proposal non-responsive if proposer(s) cannot demonstrate fiscal capacity through staffing sufficient to be able to deliver the program proposed and separation of duties sufficient to safeguard the integrity of the funds. All organizations funded whether public or private, commercial or not-for-profit, receiving at $750,000.00 annually through federal grants regardless of the funding source will be required to conduct and submit an audit annually. Commercial organizations will have the option of providing a program specific audit or submitting an organization wide audit in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 et seq.
