5-SLCI27023 Attachment 4 Score Sheet.xlsx

This document is an RFP Evaluation Scoresheet for Salt Lake City Corporation's solicitation of veterinary services for police canines (SLCI27023). The scoresheet establishes the framework for evaluating proposals submitted by veterinary service providers seeking to contract with the city for canine healthcare services.

The evaluation methodology comprises three primary components: mandatory minimum requirements, technical criteria, and cost evaluation. Vendors must pass three mandatory requirements: City Ethics Requirement compliance, appropriate License and Certification, and availability of 24-hour Emergency Services. Technical evaluation accounts for 70 percent of the total scoring (475 points possible) and is distributed across seven weighted criteria: Qualifications & Experience (25 percent weight, 125 points), Proposed Veterinarians and Staff Members (15 percent, 75 points), Statement of Understanding and Surgical Capabilities (20 percent, 100 points), Description of Emergency Services (20 percent, 100 points), Office Location and Description of Services (10 percent, 50 points), Other Specialty Care Veterinarians (5 percent, 25 points), and Location and Description of Kennels (5 percent, 25 points). Proposals must achieve a minimum of 60 percent of technical points (285 points) to advance to cost evaluation. Cost evaluation accounts for 30 percent of the total scoring (203.6 points possible), with points awarded using a comparative formula where the lowest-priced proposal receives 100 percent of cost points and other proposals receive proportional points based on their price relative to the lowest bid. The final award score is calculated by combining technical and cost points, with evaluation conducted by multiple evaluators using a standardized five-point scale (0=Fail through 5=Excellent).
