4-Attachment C Scoring Criteria.docx

This is a scoring criteria attachment for a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing, conducted through the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide technical consulting services in environmental science, engineering, and radiation safety under a 5-year contract term. The state will award the contract to the highest-ranked qualified vendor based on evaluation criteria outlined in the attachment, with the intent to negotiate fair and reasonable compensation following selection. The contract is issued under Utah Procurement Code 63G-6a Part 15 for Design Professional Service Providers and Consultants.

The evaluation of qualifications will be based on five scoreable criteria totaling 1,000 points: Past Projects (100 points), demonstrating ability to fulfill contract requirements; Difficult or Complex Project example (100 points), showing successful resolution of challenging assignments; Communication (250 points), describing processes for effective coordination with applicants and agencies; Staff Experience and Professional Licenses (300 points), requiring professional licenses for Professional Engineers, Geologists, and Certified Health Physicists; and Firm Experience (250 points), requiring a minimum of 10 years of company expertise directly pertinent to contract requirements. Vendors must submit statements of qualifications addressing each criterion in detail without including pricing information. If negotiations with the highest-ranked vendor are unsuccessful, the state may proceed with negotiations with the next-highest ranked vendor.
