The methodology used to evaluate the SF330 and related risk will be based on a Met or Not Met determination for each evaluation criterion. An overall rating will not be given. 8.Consensus. Upon completion of individual evaluations, the evaluation team and Chairman shall meet and establish a final rating for each firm on each evaluation factor. Ratings will not be averaged, but will represent the consensus opinion of the evaluators. The Chairman will record these consensus results and document the basis for each.
