A. PREPARING AND SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL

General Instructions The evaluation and selection of a contractor and the project will be based on the information submitted in the vendor’s proposal plus references and any required on-site visits or oral presentations. Failure to respond to each of the requirements in the RFP may be the basis for rejecting a response. Elaborate proposals (e.g. expensive artwork) beyond what is sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal, are not necessary or desired.

Proprietary Information Bidders are hereby notified that all information submitted in response to this RFB may be made available for public inspection according to the Public Records Law of the State of Wisconsin or other applicable public record laws. Information qualifying as a “trade secret” defined in State of Wisconsin Statutes may be held confidential.

Bidders shall seal separately and clearly identify all information they deem to be “trade secrets,” as defined in the State of Wisconsin Statutes. Do not duplicate or co-mingle information, deemed confidential and sealed, elsewhere in your response.

S. 19.36(5)

(5) TRADE SECRETS. An authority may withhold access to any record or portion of a record containing information qualifying as a trade secret as defined in s. 134.90(1)(c).

s. 134.90(1)(c)

(c) “Trade secret” means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process to which all of the following apply:

1. The information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use.

The City will not provide advance notice to Bidders prior to release of any requested record.

To the extent permitted by such laws, it is the intention of the City to withhold the contents of bids from public view until such times as competitive or bargaining reasons no longer require non-disclosure, in the City’s opinion. At that time, all bids will be available for review in accordance with such laws.

Proposals should be organized and presented in the order and by the number assigned in the RFP. Each individual attachment should be separated by tabs or otherwise clearly marked.

Selected vendors may be required to make oral presentations to supplement their proposals, if requested by Metro Transit.

Failure of a proposer to conduct a presentation to Metro Transit on the date scheduled may result in rejection of the vendor’s proposal. Oral Presentations/Demonstrations may be recorded.

B. PROPOSAL SELECTION AND AWARD PROCESS

One or more responsive and responsible vendor proposals may be selected and further negotiations and/or interviews and/or product demonstrations may occur. Once the successful Vendor has been selected, an award notice will be issued.

Proposal Scoring Accepted proposals will be reviewed by an evaluation committee comprised of City representatives and Metro Transit scored against the stated criteria. The committee may review references & request oral presentations. Metro Transit’s intention is to procure the most functionally complete and cost-effective application which will provide the flexibility to meet our current and future needs. The total price of the proposed solution for Metro Transit’s applications will be considered in the final analysis, but this will not be used as the primary consideration in the selection of the “best” solution. Ultimately, Metro Transit will award the project to the responsive and responsible Vendor whose overall proposal offers the best value for Metro Transit, as evaluated pursuant to the evaluation criteria as set forth herein. The proposals will be scored by a committee, based on the following criteria. A Vendor’s submission of a proposal constitutes their acceptance of the evaluation technique, and their recognition and acceptance of the evaluators will use their judgment in making a determination based on several criteria.

Basis for Award Information and/or factors gathered during interviews, and any reference checks, in addition to the evaluation criteria stated in the RFP, and any other information or factors deemed relevant by Metro Transit, shall be utilized in the final award.
