3-Attachment C scoresheet.xls

This document is an evaluation scoresheet for a Municipal Advisor solicitation (TR26-5) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing. The solicitation seeks to retain a qualified Municipal Advisor firm for a 5-year contract, with the intent to select a vendor through a qualifications-based selection process under Utah Procurement Code 63G-6a Part 15. The scoresheet outlines four primary technical evaluation criteria: Firm Safety, Soundness & Regulatory Compliance (20%), Personnel (40%), Firm's Experience (40%), and References (10%), with a total possible score of 1000 points.

The procurement is structured to award a professional services contract to the highest-ranked vendor, with negotiations to follow for fair and reasonable compensation. Notably, pricing is explicitly not to be included in the qualifications submission. If the highest-ranked vendor cannot reach agreement on contract requirements, the state may proceed to negotiate with the next highest-ranked vendor. The evaluation methodology uses a 0-5 point scale, with 0 representing a failed proposal and 5 representing an excellent proposal that exceeds all requirements, allowing for a nuanced assessment of vendor qualifications.
