Factor #1: Technical Capability:

Factor #2: Experience:

Quote must at a minimum demonstrate experience in performing vehicle upfit services. This can be demonstrated on Exhibit #1 through former contracts and/or demonstrating key personnel experience on similar type projects. The experience should indicate the successes of the quoter in completing similar type work projects. (See boxes 5, 6 and 9 of Exhibit #1 Experience and Equipment

Questionnaire).

In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” will be considered “acceptable.”

Technical capability, experience, and past performance, when combined, are equal in importance to price.
