3-Attachment D Technical Criteria.docx

This Technical Criteria attachment pertains to a Video Production Services contract opportunity issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Department of Cultural & Community Engagement (CCE) Marketing and Communications. The procurement seeks qualifications from video production service providers to support nine divisions within CCE, including Arts & Museums, STEM Action Center, Historical Society, UServe, Multicultural Affairs, Indian Affairs, State Historic Preservation Office, State Library, and Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission. The contract is structured as a five-year professional services agreement under Utah Procurement Code 63G-6a Part 15 for Design Professional Service Providers and Consultants, with the vendor achieving the highest qualification ranking selected for contract negotiations at fair and reasonable compensation rates to be determined during negotiations.

The evaluation and selection process is based on technical qualifications rather than pricing, with respondents explicitly instructed to exclude pricing information from their submissions. The highest-ranked vendor will be invited to negotiate contract terms, compensation, and requirements; if negotiations fail to reach agreement on fair and reasonable compensation or contract documents, the state retains the right to proceed with negotiations with the next highest-ranked vendor. This procurement structure ensures competitive evaluation of vendor capabilities and experience while preserving the state's flexibility in final vendor selection and compensation determination.
