For each R.F.Q. issued, an evaluation committee shall be designated by the chief procurement officer and shall include members of those city departments likely to require the type of work addressed by the R.F.Q. Such evaluation committee shall evaluate responses to the R.F.Q. in accordance with the criteria set forth in the R.F.Q. and shall recommend that the chief procurement officer deem as responsible those respondents who meet those criteria. Based on the recommendation of the evaluation committee, the chief procurement officer shall develop a list of contractors who are prequalified as the exclusive responsible bidders on contracts for the type of work addressed in the R.F.Q.
The chief procurement officer may, at any time, delete from such responsible bidder list any contractor which the chief procurement officer determines to be nonresponsible. If the chief procurement officer subsequently determines such a deleted contractor to be responsible, the chief procurement officer may reinstate such contractor to the responsible bidder list from which it was deleted.
Each year that the chief procurement officer elects to continue the prequalification of contractors, the chief procurement officer shall, no later than 90 days after the anniversary date of the issuance of the original R.F.Q. for the particular type of work, readvertise and reissue such R.F.Q. in order to allow for renewal of the responsible bidder list.
