The Agency’s evaluation of Contractors will be based upon those materials submitted in response to this request for proposals. To be considered in the selection process, each company must submit complete submittals and related materials. The evaluation process is a two stage process as indicated below:

Stage 1:

A Selection Committee will be established according to the Agency’s policy.

Submittals will be received and evaluated to determine if all items requested were submitted. Copies of each complete submittal will be provided to each member of the Selection Committee.

Stage 2:

The Selection Committee will review each submittal individually. It is anticipated that the Selection Committee will rank the firms and make the final selection directly from the written submittals. Proposers must score 70% or higher for “Part I: Technical Proposal”to be considered responsive. Only responsive proposals will be evaluated for cost.

The Agency reserves the right to request additional information or clarifications from any or all firms before completing an evaluation of the qualifications. Additionally, if deemed necessary and at the sole discretion of the Selection Committee, oral interviews of two or more Contractors determined most qualified for the project will be scheduled at a later date and final selection made after interviews. Upon completion of this process the Contractor deemed most qualified for the project will be selected.
