3.2 Evaluation Procedures – Review of Proposals - A committee comprised of representatives from the Planning/Construction/SPLOST, Design Team, and Procurement Services Departments will evaluate the proposal responses based on qualifications, relevant experience, responsiveness of proposers, as well as cost. Cost will not be the sole determining factor in the award.

Each proposal will be reviewed for completeness to ensure that all mandatory requirements are addressed satisfactorily. The committee may request additional clarification/information from the responding offeror(s).

The committee will evaluate the quality and completeness of each response as it addresses each requirement of the RFP. All non-cost related areas of the response are evaluated during this phase. A list of areas being reviewed for this specific RFP, along with the associated point values is included in the Evaluation Criteria located in section

3.5. The committee may, in its sole discretion and in the course of the evaluation, request presentation(s)/demonstration(s) with one or more selected offerors.

prior to award, to obtain the best and final offers. In all events, CCSD reserves the right to re-solicit the item(s)/services(s) involved.

3.5 Evaluation Criteria – The selection of a construction manager at risk for the CMAR McEachern HS Grandstand Replacement will be based on the review of several key elements in the proposals submitted. They include, but are not limited to the following criteria:

# Description Points Possible

1. Firm Overview (Special Terms & Conditions Section 6.2) 25

2. Financial Information (Special Terms & Conditions Section 6.3) 25

3. Project Approach (Special Terms & Conditions Section 6.4) 175

4. Project Experience (Special Terms & Conditions Section 6.5) 175

Non-Cost Subtotal 400

5. Initial Cost 100

TOTAL 500

The non-cost component of proposals (total of factors 1 – 4) can receive a maximum of 400 points out of 500 points possible. Cost will be scored for only those proposals that receive 70% or more of total non-cost points (280 or more points).

In the first stage, CCSD will evaluate the non-cost criteria (i.e. Factors 1-4). The non-cost criteria will be evaluated for quality and completeness and to ensure that all mandatory requirements of the RFP are addressed satisfactorily. All non-cost related areas of the response are evaluated during this phase.

In the second stage, the proposals that received 70% or more of the total non-cost points will have their cost evaluated (Factor 5). The Cost Evaluation Formula: (Lowest Price/R-where “R” represents the cost of the proposal currently being ranked) x Points = Score. The scores on the non-cost and cost criteria will then be combined to determine offerors within the competitive range.

During the third and final phase, a shortlist of offerors may be selected. Negotiations, interviews, and/or presentations may be conducted with the contractors on the shortlist. The contents of the proposals will remain confidential during such negotiations, interviews, and/or presentations. The evaluation committee may

evaluate the information obtained during this phase and provide a score for this category.

Description Points Possible

Non-Cost Score 400

Initial Cost Score 100

Contractor Interviews/Presentations 100

TOTAL 600

After the second and/or third phases, the contractors in the competitive range may then be allowed to submit a best and final offer (“BAFO”) cost. A final score for each contractor will be computed based upon replacing the “Initial Cost” category score with scoring based on the BAFO Cost. BAFO Cost Evaluation Formula: (Lowest Price/R-where “R” represents the cost of the proposal currently being ranked) x Points = Score.
