Thereafter, that PROPOSER will be disqualified from further Proposal on the Work to be provided under the Contract Documents.

15. Opening of PROPOSALS

PROPOSALS will be opened and read aloud publicly (unless obviously non-responsive) at the place where PROPOSALS are to be submitted. An abstract of the amounts of the base PROPOSALS and major alternates (if any) will be made available to PROPOSERs after the opening of PROPOSALS.

17. Award of Contract

17.1. OWNER reserves the right to reject any or all PROPOSALS, including without limitation the right to reject any or all nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced, or conditional PROPOSALS and to reject the PROPOSAL of any PROPOSER if OWNER believes that it would not be in the best interest of the Project to make an award to that PROPOSER, whether because the PROPOSAL is not responsive or the PROPOSER is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by OWNER.

17.5.

Award of the Contract resulting from this solicitation shall be under the selection process described herein. A committee appointed by Owner will evaluate Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. The three (3) divisions of selection criteria (“Divisions”) are as follows

A. Contractor Relevant Experience and References– 30%

B. Cost Proposal – 60%

C. Proposed Schedule – 10%

Each of the Divisions has been assigned an appropriate weight by the Owner, as set forth below.

Following an analysis and evaluation of the Proposals, ranking of the Proposers will be made based upon the selection criteria. In the event of a tie in the rankings, Owner shall break the tie based upon

Owner’s determination of which Proposal will provide the best value to Owner. Subjective judgment on the part of the Owner is implicit in the criteria selection process. The selection process permits placing technical considerations above total price. Therefore, the Owner reserves the right to award to other than the entity with the lowest proposed price. Once the Proposers have been ranked, the Owner will begin contract negotiations with the first ranked Proposer. If the Owner is unable to come to terms with the first ranked Proposer, discussions will be terminated and the Owner will proceed to the next ranked Proposer and repeat the process until a contract agreement is reached or all Proposals are rejected. Once a contract agreement is reached with the Proposer, approval from the City of Cedar

Park City Council is required to authorize the City Manager to execute the construction contract.

After opening and ranking, an award may be made on the basis of the initially submitted proposal, without discussion, clarification or modification, or the Owner may discuss with the selected Proposer, offers for cost adjustment and other elements of the Proposal. Any Proposal may be considered unacceptable if the committee determines it fails to provide adequate technical or pricing information in the Proposals as specified in these Instructions to Proposers.

Selection Criteria

A. Contractor Relevant Experience and References – 30%

Provide valid contact information for the project owner and the architect or engineer.

Consideration will only be given to projects which are occupied or substantially complete.

3. References provided in Item 5.0 of this document. References may be checked from customers other than those listed.

B. Cost Proposal – 60%

1. The Owner will consider the total contract cost as part of its evaluation. The Owner shall have the right to accept alternates in any order or combination unless otherwise specifically provided in the Proposal Documents.

2. The Proposer submitting the lowest proposed amount shall receive the highest number of points in the category, and the Proposer submitting the highest proposed amount shall receive the lowest number of points awarded in this category. Delivery schedule can affect this ranking.

C. Proposed Schedule – 10%
