Each proposal met the minimum threshold criteria. <br /> The proposal submitted by the Preservation of Affordable housing, Inc. and Housing Assistance <br /> Corporation (POAH/HAC) showed considerable experience with the capacity to carry out the <br /> development proposal, and adequately demonstrated their ability to secure financing and to <br /> maintain the asset over the longterm. <br /> The proposal from Commonwealth Community Developers did not demonstrate the experience <br /> and capacity the Town was seeping in a developer for this site, and the firm did not provide <br /> comparable reference projects and lacked the demonstrated ability to secure financing for <br /> projects of a similar scope. <br /> In utilizing the 950 Falmouth Road RFP working Group Bidder Scoring Matrix POAH/HAC <br /> achieved a total score of 781100. The Commonwealth Community Developers, LLC achieved a <br /> total score of 521100. <br /> With regards to the Commonwealth Community Developers, LLC Allan Isbitz indicated their <br /> proposal had merit. Five references were provided, and the firm appeared to meet the threshold, <br /> but lacked the requirements for submission. Therefore, one firm was significantly stronger than <br /> the other. <br />
