Body

ANALYSIS:

On November 29, 2018, the Purchasing Division issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 19-003MS for City of Corona Police Department Operational Performance Consulting Services.  The RFP was advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News on December 5, 2018 and posted on the City’s website.  Purchasing solicited thirty-two (32) consultants with three (3) consultants submitting proposals by the submission date, January 15, 2019.    The evaluation of the proposals was based on four criteria: 1.) Work Plan/Work Organization; 2.) Qualifications of Company and Personnel (Experience) (Experience); 3.) Completeness and Timeliness of Response; and 4.) Reasonableness of Cost and Price.  After a thorough evaluation of the submitted proposals, the City’s evaluators selected the proposal and team that Hillard Heintze assembled to complete this project as the most qualified consultant.  Hillard Heintze scored the highest scores on Work Plan / Work Organization and Qualifications of Company and Personnel (Experience).

 

The City’s seven-member evaluation team consisted of

 

1.                     Chris McMasters                      Chief Information Officer

2.                     Kerry Eden                                 Assistant City Manager/Administrative Services Director

3.                     Michele Nissen                     Assistant City Manager

4.                     Brian Young                                Fire Chief

5.                     George Johnstone                     Chief of Police

6.                     Ryan Rolston                     Fire Captain

7.                     John Healy                                Police Detective

 

The evaluation team carefully reviewed the three proposals.  A summary of their scores is presented below:

 

The Purpose of the Public Safety Operational Performance Consulting Services RFP is to solicit submissions from consultants who demonstrate the ability to develop an organizational strategy that outlines five-year goals for the Police Department, with more specific set of objectives and a plan for implementation of the first three years of the plan’s timeframe. The City understands that there are a variety of perspectives, models, and approaches that can be used to develop a strategic planning document; therefore, the selected consultant will be expected to recommend a model or model(s) that will enable the Police Department to complete its organizational and programmatic goals while falling in line with the 2014 - 2019 Corona Strategic Plan.
