Stewardship contracts are awarded on "best value" basis as opposed to strict revenue generation. The "Best Value" shall be determined using the evaluation criteria listed below, which are listed in descending order of importance. To aid contractors in the submission of the information regarding Past Performance and a Treatment Plan/Schedule, a generic proposal format has been prepared and attached at the end of this document.

1. The contractor's technical expertise, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals necessary to complete the required work.

2. Past performance records on similar projects.

3. Service work costs and product value prices.

This is best value with trade-off option. BLM has option to award to vendor provided lowest price with not highest technical score or to vendor with highest technical score and highest price.
