E. Selection Criteria Rating Sheet

The award criteria that will be used for this IFP is broken out as follows using the rating system below:

Rating

IFP

Score Multiplier Weighted

Score

1. P r i c e 30% 5 6

2. Organizational Qualifications 20% 5 4

3. Service Record 30% 5 6

4. Relevance of past projects 20% 5 4

Total Score: 100% 20

The criterion used to score price will be as follows. Price Proposals shall be scored by dividing the total price proposed by the lowest firm by the total price proposed by the firm and multiplying the result by 100. For example, if Firm A proposed $105 and Firm B proposed $125, Firm A would be awarded 5 points (105 ÷ 105) × 5 = 5). Firm B would be awarded 4.2 points (105 ÷ 125) x 5 = 4.2).

1 Does Not Meet Expectations 2 Partially Meets Expectations 3 Meets Expectations 4 Exceeds Expectations 5 Greatly Exceeds Expectations

This criterion will be used by the award committee to determine the best company overall for this contract.

The total cost of this proposal accounts for 30% of entire award. The remaining 70% is comprised from information provided by the participating company and reference sources. Once a score of 1-5 has been assigned to each category, that score will be multiplied by the assigned multiplier to provide a weighted score for the proposal.
