9 <br />E. Proposer Responsibility <br />When determining whether a proposer is responsible, or when evaluating a proposal, the following factors <br />may be considered, any one of which will suffice to determine whether a proposer is responsible or the <br />proposal is the most advantageous to the City: <br />1. The ability, capacity and skill of the proposer to perform the contract or provide the service <br />required. <br />2. The character, integrity, reputation, judgment and experience of the proposer. <br />3. Whether the proposer can perform the contract within the time desired. <br />4. The quality of performance of similar contracts or services, including, but not limited to, the <br />proposer's failure to perform satisfactorily or complete any written contract. The City's <br />termination for default of a previous contract with a proposer shall be deemed to be such a <br />failure. <br />5. The previous and existing compliance by the proposer with laws relating to the contract or <br />services. <br />6. Evidence of collusion with any other proposer, in which case colluding proposers will be <br />restricted from submitting further proposals on the subject project or future tenders. <br />7. The proposer is not qualified for the work or to the full extent of the proposal. <br />8. There is uncompleted work with the City or others, or an outstanding dispute on a previous or <br />current contract that might hinder, negatively affect or prevent the prompt completion of the <br />work proposed. <br />9. The proposer has been convicted of a crime arising from a previous public contract, excepting <br />convictions that have been pardoned, expunged, or annulled. <br />10. The proposer has been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude or any felony, excepting <br />convictions that have been pardoned, expunged or annulled, whether in this state, in any other <br />state, by the United States, or in a foreign country, province or municipality. Proposers shall <br />affirmatively disclose to the City all such convictions, especially of management personnel or <br />the proposer as an entity, prior to notice of award or execution of a contract, whichever comes <br />first. Failure to make such affirmative disclosure shall be grounds, in the City's sole option and <br />discretion, for termination for default subsequent to award or execution of the contract. <br />11. There is evidence that the proposer will be unable, financially or otherwise, to perform the <br />work. <br />12. At the time of proposal opening, the proposer is not authorized to do business in Washington, <br />or otherwise lacks a necessary license, registration or permit. <br />13. Such other information as may be secured having a bearing on the decision to award the <br />contract. <br />1-A. Any other reason deemed proper by the City. <br />
