The City of Roseville is utilizing a best value selection and contract management process for the
delivery of their $19M park renewal and upgrade program. The best value process minimizes
decision of the client, and requires pre-planning from the vendors. This paper analyzes the impact
external factors can have on a successful implementation of best value business model. The City
is using the model after a highly successful initial pilot project, and in response to tremendous
political pressure to deliver a high quality, high performance renewal program.Keywords: performance information, public works, non-governmental organizations, risk
