Should two or more sites have scores that are fairly close, the selection committee will review their overall merits and if possible pick one to recommend to the director. An effort will be made to achieve consensus. The director will review the committee's recommendation before making a selection. The director's selection must be approved by the Board of Corrections before it becomes final. However, the final recommendation or selection need not be based solely on the highest rated proposal but based on the best interests of the Department of Corrections.
