1-GN27-106 - Scoresheet (CP - AG).xlsx

This is an RFP evaluation scoresheet for Solicitation #GN27-106 issued by the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Utah, seeking legal services to assist with Predictive Markets and Gambling Enforcement Matters. The solicitation employs a multi-stage evaluation process, with Stage 2 requiring offerors to meet five mandatory certification requirements, including experience qualifications of the litigation team, conflict-of-interest certifications, legal malpractice insurance coverage of not less than $5,000,000 per incident, completion of background checks, and certification of non-debarment status. Qualified proposals must achieve a minimum average score of 4.0 to advance to Stage 3 interviews and subsequently to Stage 4 for final technical evaluation.

The evaluation framework allocates 70 percent of total points (700 points possible) to technical criteria and 30 percent (300 points possible) to cost evaluation, for a combined total of 1,000 possible points. Technical scoring encompasses four criteria: qualifications and skills of lead counsel and senior attorneys (40 percent weight, 200 points), quality and capabilities of the firm and litigation team (20 percent weight, 100 points), and vision and strategy in pursuing the predictive markets and gambling enforcement matters (60 percent weight combined across two identical criteria, totaling 400 points). The cost proposal utilizes a contingent fee structure with a baseline contingent fee percentage calculated as the greater of either the lowest maximum contingent fee percentage among qualified proposals or 75 percent of the median average maximum contingent fee percentage among all qualified proposals. Cost scoring is determined by dividing the baseline contingent fee percentage by the qualified proposal's maximum contingent fee percentage and multiplying by 300 points, with a minimum required technical score threshold of 500 points for advancement.
