7 Evaluation of Proposals and Selection Procedure (B-100.15D, JUN 05)

(a) Upon receipt of proposals, which shall consist of both technical and price proposals, the Contracting Officer will initiate the evaluation and selection procedure described herein.

(b) Proposals shall not be publicly opened.

(c) The Contracting Officer will review the proposals to determine if they comply with the solicitation provisions and contain all required submittals.

(d) The Contracting Officer will conduct an evaluation of the technical proposals, or may appoint a Selection Committee that will evaluate the technical proposals and provide the scores to the Contracting Officer for consideration. In either case, the technical proposals will be evaluated applying the evaluation factor(s) set forth in the Proposal Content and Evaluation Factors for Award provision.

(e) The Contracting Officer will consider the evaluated technical score for each offeror’s proposal to determine whether that offeror’s proposal shall be characterized as technically “Acceptable”, “Potentially Acceptable” (that is, susceptible of being made “Acceptable”), or “Unacceptable”. Proposals evaluated as technically “Unacceptable” shall be rejected, and will receive no further consideration for award.

(f) After a complete evaluation of the initial technical and price proposals, for those found to be technically “Acceptable” or “Potentially Acceptable” by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may:

DART Form 33D Page 8 of 14 Exhibit B

(1) Proceed directly to award of the contract based on the total scores received; or

(2) Request clarifications from offerors; and/or

(3) Request that offerors make oral presentations concerning their technical proposals.

The Contracting Officer will establish the specific criteria and parameters for oral presentations. Oral presentations shall not be considered discussions. They shall be used solely to facilitate evaluation of the submitted proposals to further determine their appropriate characterization. The Contracting Officer may then proceed directly to award of the contract; or

(4) Reject any proposals then determined to be “Unacceptable”; and

(5) Invite those offerors whose proposals were determined to be “Acceptable” or “Potentially

Acceptable,” and in the competitive range considering their overall technical and price scores, to participate in discussions. The competitive range will consist of all proposals that have a reasonable chance of being selected for award.

Discussions may address either the technical or price proposal, or both. At the conclusion of discussions, the Contracting Officer will set a time and date for the submission of best and final offers. If an offeror chooses not to submit a best and final offer, its initial proposal, to include price, will be evaluated for award. After the date and time set for receipt of best and final offers:

(a) The Contracting Officer will evaluate the best and final offers (or the initial proposal if no best and final offer is submitted) with or without referring the technical proposal of the best and final offer to the Selection Committee for evaluation.

(b) The Contracting Officer will make a determination for award based upon the total points for both the technical and price components of each offeror’s best and final offer (or initial proposal if no best and final offer was submitted).

(c) The Authority reserves the right, during the selection procedure, to investigate the qualifications of all offerors under consideration; to confirm any part of the information furnished by an offeror; and/or to require other evidence of managerial, financial, or technical capabilities that are considered necessary for the successful performance of work under a resulting contract.

(d) Offerors are hereby reminded that the Authority reserves the right to award a contract following evaluation of initial proposals submitted. Offerors should therefore ensure that they submit their best technical and price proposals in their initial proposal submissions.

8 Incorporation of Offeror’s Proposal (B-100.16A, AUG 04)

(a) The Authority reserves the right to incorporate the successful offeror’s proposal into any resulting contract, by reference or full text. This includes any revisions and supplements through the date set for submission of best and final offers, if applicable. Additionally, any modification of the otherwise successful offer prior to award of the contract, which makes its terms more favorable to the Authority, will be considered and may be accepted.

(b) If, after contract award, it is discovered that changes were agreed to in writing during negotiations, but were not incorporated into the resulting contract, such changes shall be considered administrative in nature and incorporated by unilateral modification at no change in the contract cost or price, or other terms and conditions.

DART Form 33D Page 9 of 14 Exhibit B

(c) To satisfy the contract requirements, the offeror shall adhere to the proposal approach accepted by the Authority.

9 Conflict of Interest (B-200.28A, MAR 25)

(a) The Contracting Officer has determined that this procurement may give rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest as defined in §11-102 of Chapter 11 of the DART Procurement Regulations, which states:

“An ‘organizational conflict of interest’ exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed instant Authority contract may, without some form of restriction on future activities, (a) result in an actual or potential unfair competitive advantage to the contractor or (b) impair the contractor’s objectivity in performing the contract work.”

(b) The successful offeror shall have access to confidential and/or sensitive DART information in the course of contract performance. Additionally, the successful offeror may be provided access to proprietary information obtained from other contracted entities during contract performance.

(c) To the extent that the successful offeror either (1) uses confidential and/or sensitive DART information, or proprietary information obtained from other DART contractors, to develop any form of document, report, or concept plan that is determined by the Contracting Officer to be the basis, in whole or in part, of any subsequent competitive solicitation issued by the Authority, or (2) develops written specifications that are used in any subsequent competitive solicitation issued by the Authority, the successful offeror agrees that it shall not be eligible to compete for such subsequent competitive solicitation(s) as a prime contractor or first-tier subcontractor, or as part of any teaming arrangement, unless the Contracting Officer provides, in writing, a specific waiver of this restriction. The duration of any restriction imposed under this subparagraph shall not exceed the length of the performance period of any subsequently awarded contract for which the successful offeror was ineligible to compete.

(d) The offeror agrees to notify the Authority, in writing, within five (5) working days after it becomes aware of any potential or actual organizational conflict of interest pursuant to the above.
