35047_EvaluationScoreMatrix~1.xlsx

This is an evaluation score matrix document for RFP 35047, the FTA Drug and Alcohol Compliance Program, prepared by a state or local contracting agency. The document contains the detailed proposal evaluation scores submitted by three evaluators assessing multiple firms competing for the contract award. RLS & Associates emerged as the highest-ranked proposal respondent with an average proposal score of 96 points out of a maximum 105 points and a final combined score of 126 points, securing a rank of 1. The evaluation criteria used to assess proposals included four primary evaluation criteria with maximum point allocations of 30, 30, 20, and 25 points respectively. RLS & Associates' individual evaluator scores were 94, 91, and 103 points. The document indicates that three proposal evaluators participated in the scoring process, though interview and reference evaluation sections show incomplete data with zero scores across all firms evaluated.

The scoring matrix reveals that no scoring deductions were applied to any proposals, and interview and reference components did not yield populated scores for any competing firms, suggesting those evaluation phases may not have been completed at the time the document was prepared or were not applicable to the procurement. The evaluation template accommodates scoring for up to 18 competing firms across proposal, interview, and reference evaluation categories. The cost score column indicates RLS & Associates received 30 points in the cost evaluation component. No information regarding contract term, renewal options, set-asides, incumbent vendors, or specific funding sources is documented in this evaluation matrix.
