The responses will be evaluated by a team, designated by Invest Atlanta, in accordance with the scoring rubric above. Specifically, the responses provided to the Mandatory Scored Requirements serve as the basis for the technical evaluation and score.
COST EVALUATION AND SCORE
Each Respondent will be allocated points based on where their respective Total Fees lie within the pool of Respondents. Specifically, the Respondent providing the lowest cost or Total Fees will be allocated the most points within the pool or deemed the most responsive.
Additionally, Invest Atlanta strives to make an award to a cost-effective Respondent and maintains a total cost of ownership perspective when evaluating costs/pricing proposals. For clarity, Invest Atlanta will use the Total Fixed Fee for the Base Scope plus the Add Alternates as the basis for assigning points and overall score.
Invest Atlanta retains the right to perform a price reasonableness analysis or exercise to validate the legitimacy of each proposal. This may include, but is not limited to, requests for additional documentation on actual costs.
OVERALL COMBINED SCORE
The Respondent’s Technical Score will be combined with their respective Cost score to determine the Overall Combined Score. Respondents will be ranked based on their Overall Combined Score. A Competitive Range may be determined by identifying any natural groupings or breaks within the pool of Respondents.
After evaluating all proposals in accordance with this section, IA may determine that the number of most highly rated proposals that might otherwise be included in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted. Therefore, IA may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
INTERVIEWS/PRESENTATIONS/DEMONSTRATION PROCESS
Invest Atlanta, at its sole discretion, may ask any Respondent to make an oral presentation and/or product/service demonstration without charge to Invest Atlanta. Invest Atlanta reserves the right to require any Respondent to demonstrate to the satisfaction of Invest Atlanta that the Respondent has the managerial, fiscal and technical capabilities to furnish Abatement Services.
The purpose of the interview/presentation/demonstration, if any, will be to meet and become familiar with the proposed project team and key personnel, understand the project approach and ability to meet the stated objectives for the project.
NEGOTIATIONS & BEST AND FINAL OFFERS
Invest Atlanta may invite the top ranked Respondent(s) with a defined competitive range for negotiations. Invest Atlanta reserves the right to negotiate all elements, except legal requirements of any Respondent received.
Invest Atlanta anticipates negotiating, at a minimum, the following elements:

3. Work Plan
4. Resources
At any time prior to requesting best and final offers, Invest Atlanta may request additional information, samples, or other evidence of the Respondent’s performance capabilities from any Respondent in the competitive range to better understand and evaluate the Respondent’s offer.
