Section 19:38B-3.6 - Reference adjustment calculation
(a) A firm will be required to list in its Project Rating Proposal a minimum of two projects completed within the past seven years. The firm shall also provide project contacts for those projects. The Authority shall select, at its discretion, two projects to be confirmed and shall contact the owner's contact identified by the firm. If the Authority cannot contact an owner's contact, the Authority will contact the firm so that the firm may identify another owner's contact for that project. If the firm is unable to provide an additional owner's contact, or if the Authority is unable to contact the additional owner's contact provided by the firm, the Authority will not use that project in the determination of the firm's Project Rating.
(b) The Authority will confirm the firm's performance on each project referenced and assign a percentage value to the responses received. Project contacts will be asked if the performance in each of the following seven categories "exceeded expectations," "met expectations," or fell "below expectations" and the Authority will assign to the response the percentage adjustment listed below:

1. If an owner's contact rates a firm "below expectations" in either safety or quality of construction, or if the project reference adjustment is -5 or lower, the Authority will not use that project in the determination of the firm's Project Rating.
2. The Authority will total the project reference adjustments together and the sum shall be the reference adjustment. This reference adjustment shall be used as "B" in the calculation of the firm's Project Rating in 19:38B-3.5.
