This is a Proposal Evaluation Score Matrix for a facilitation services contract issued by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission (ADPC). The procurement sought a contractor to provide comprehensive facilitation services for developing the 2026 ADPC Comprehensive Plan, including support for commission committees, focus groups, and regional town halls with trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices. The proposal deadline was December 2, 2024, with an initial contract term of 13 months and potential renewals extending up to 5 years. The RFP required detailed submissions including comprehensive work plans, key personnel resumes, and line-item budgets. Evaluation of the nine proposing firms was conducted using two primary scoring criteria: firm expertise and experience (weighted at 75 points maximum) and cost proposals (weighted at 25 points maximum), for a total possible score of 100 points.

The evaluation results ranked the proposers as follows: Jennifer Kotting LLC achieved the highest score of 86 points, followed by District Partnerships & Consulting with 85 points, Empress Rules Equity Consulting with 76 points, TRIPOINT SOLUTIONS LLC with 64 points, CLT & Associates with 73 points, JEI Solutions LLC with 63 points, Alvarez & Marsal Holdings, LLC with 53 points, The Needs Languages with 44 points, and IAM Grants Consulting, LLC with the lowest score of 28 points. The contract carried a not-to-exceed compensation of $250,000, though specific pricing information for individual proposals was not disclosed in this matrix. The procurement did not establish explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. According to the related Intent to Award documentation, Third Horizon Strategies was selected as the successful proposer, suggesting either a separate evaluation process or that the named contractor was chosen outside the nine firms evaluated in this matrix.
