This is an RFP evaluation scoresheet for Crisis Communication Solicitation #KK27-101, issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Risk Management. The procurement seeks a single contract award for crisis communication services to support public entities in Utah. The contract term is five years, with vendor pricing guaranteed for a minimum of one year.

The evaluation scoresheet establishes a 1,000-point scoring methodology consisting of 75 percent technical criteria (750 points) and 25 percent cost evaluation (250 points). Technical evaluation is divided into five categories: Company Experience (225 points, 30 percent weight), Company Personnel Expertise (187.5 points, 25 percent weight), Response Protocols (150 points, 20 percent weight), Capacity and Resources (150 points, 20 percent weight), and Other Services (37.5 points, 5 percent weight). Vendors must achieve a minimum threshold of 70 percent on technical criteria (525 points) to remain eligible for award consideration. Five mandatory prerequisites require vendors to demonstrate experience with reputation and crisis management for public entities, familiarity with Utah and national media, capability to attend in-person meetings, ability to respond within 12 hours of significant incidents, and submission of both technical and cost proposals. Scoring is calibrated on a scale from zero (fail) to five (excellent), with vendors addressing and exceeding all RFP requirements receiving the highest score.
