016036 RFPAttH - Evaluation tool.docx

This is an Evaluation Tool document for a Request for Proposal issued by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to establish staffing and culturally specific programming support through the Oregon Alliance to Prevent Suicide. The evaluation tool establishes scoring criteria across four point categories (9 points, 15 points, 50 points, and 75 points possible) that assess proposal quality based on three primary dimensions: completeness and clarity of required elements, clarity of work execution plans, and demonstrated understanding of equity, inclusive communications, and inclusive processes. Proposals earning 8-9 points, 10-15 points, 31-50 points, or 50-75 points respectively are rated as "Fully Meets Standard," those scoring 3-7 points, 5-9 points, 18-30 points, or 25-49 points are rated as "Partially Meets Standard," and those scoring 0-2 points, 0-4 points, 0-17 points, or 0-24 points receive a "Does Not Meet Standard" rating.

The evaluation framework prioritizes organizational capacity and cultural competency in suicide prevention programming. Proposals rated as "Fully Meets Standard" must include and clearly explain all requested elements with an explicit, detailed plan for work execution and a clear demonstration of understanding equity and inclusive processes. Those meeting the "Partially Meets Standard" threshold include required elements with unclear explanations or omit some elements, provide less detailed execution plans, and demonstrate only partial understanding of equity and inclusive approaches. Proposals designated "Does Not Meet Standard" fail to include or adequately explain most requested elements, lack detailed work execution plans, and demonstrate insufficient understanding of equity and inclusive communications principles.
