<br /> <br /> <br /> Special Council Meeting <br /> April 14, 2011 <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> EDC Director Steve Gilbert said they would hear from three companies in response to the <br /> RFP's sent out regarding Diversity Training. He further said that each company would have <br /> fifteen minutes to do their presentation and in the absence of the other companies. Mr. Gilbert <br /> presented everyone with a score sheet to be completed on each company. <br /> <br /> Those present at the meeting heard from the following: <br /> <br /> 1) Kenneth Rogers, Sr. and Kenneth Rogers, Jr. from The Right Talent, Inc.; <br /> <br /> 2) Janet Bashen, Laura Haas, and Ty Ragland from Bashen Corp.; <br /> <br /> 3) Tracy Brown from Executive Diversity Services. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gilbert asked everyone to complete their score sheets, so that he could turn them into <br /> the Texas Workforce Commission for tabulation. He reported that the Executive Diversity <br /> Services was the low bid coming in at a base rate of $59,009; that The Right Talent, Inc. was <br /> next coming in with a base bid of $89,000; and that the Bashen Corporation was the high bidder <br /> coming in at $245,000, which included a software link. Mr. Gilbert explained that the evaluation <br /> team would finish the process and give recommendations to PEDC and the City Council. <br /> <br /> Chairman Burkhart said he hoped that the Texas Workforce Commission, PEDC, and the <br /> City Council could work together to get this project moving forward. City Manager Gene <br /> Anderson inquired if the County had been approached and Mr. Burkhart said he did not know the <br /> answer.
