5-JK26-32 Score Sheet.xls

This is an evaluation scoresheet for a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing, in partnership with the Cultural and Community Engagement unit, for Solicitation Number JK26-32 related to Utah's pavilion at the Great American Fair. The procurement seeks marketing and creative services to conceptualize and implement the state's pavilion exhibit. The contract is structured as a one-year professional services engagement under Utah Procurement Code 63G-6a Part 15. Vendors must meet four mandatory minimum requirements: certification of ability to meet the stated timeline, previous experience managing budgets of $500,000 or more, capability to work in Washington, DC during installation and de-installation periods, and experience managing products outside the State of Utah.

The evaluation scoresheet establishes a technical scoring framework with a maximum of 500 points across two primary criteria: company profile and qualifications (weighted at 30 percent, 150 points possible) and portfolio with comparable project examples (weighted at 70 percent, 350 points possible). Evaluators score proposals on a scale from 0 to 5, with 0 representing failure to address requirements and 5 representing excellence that exceeds all requirements. A minimum technical point threshold of 350 points (70 percent) is required for proposal acceptance. Vendors are explicitly instructed not to include pricing in their submissions, as compensation will be negotiated separately according to Part 15 of the Utah Procurement Code with the highest-ranked vendor. If negotiations with the top-ranked vendor prove unsuccessful, the state reserves the right to proceed with negotiations with subsequent ranked vendors.
