About this file
This evaluator score sheet is an attachment from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service, for the Snow Hill 25/26 Grazing Lease opportunity. The file provides standardized evaluation criteria and scoring guidelines for assessing bids from qualified beef producers interested in leasing 1,415 acres within the Little Big Econ State Forest in Geneva, Florida. The lease is for a new cattle grazing operation with a current stocking rate of 250 animal units, subject to annual review and adjustment. A mandatory site visit is required for bid eligibility, and all bids must be submitted by February 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time to the Florida Forest Service at 3125 Conner Boulevard, MS C-25, Tallahassee, Florida 32399. The lease area is closed to the general public, though portions may be opened to Special Opportunity Hunts for the Operation Outdoor Freedom program.
The evaluator score sheet assigns a maximum of 150 points across three sections: Section A (Business Experience and Qualifications) worth 50 points, evaluating the bidder's beef production experience and proposed personnel qualifications; and Section B (Five-Year Grazing and Land Stewardship Plan) worth 100 points, assessing detailed plans for pasture management, herd management, invasive species management, fencing and infrastructure management, and implementation timelines. Scoring uses a scale ranging from "Unacceptable" (0-5 points) to "Excellent" (21-25 points), with evaluators assessing bidders' ability to meet or exceed specified functions and performance standards described in the solicitation. The Florida Forest Service reserves the right to reject any and all bids and waive irregularities in submissions received.

EVALUATOR SCORE SHEET
INSTRUCTIONS
Evaluators must score each Bidder being evaluated on a separate score sheet.
Criteria have been developed to score the submissions and are presented on this Evaluator Score Sheet. Except where otherwise indicated on the score sheet, a score should be assigned to each criterion as follows:
Assessment Maximum Points 20 25
Excellent 17-20 21-25 Good 13-16 16-20 Adequate 9-12 11-15 Poor 5-8 6-10 Unacceptable 0-4 0-5
Scoring should reflect the evaluator’s independent evaluation of the Bidder’s Submission based on each criterion and should take into account the Bidder’s ability to meet each function, characteristic, performance level, or specification described in the solicitation.
A Bidder who exceeds the function, characteristic, performance level, or specification described in the solicitation should receive a higher score than a Respondent who merely meets the function, characteristic, performance level, or specification.
Once the evaluator has completed a score sheet for each Submission, the evaluator should submit the completed score sheets to the Florida Forest Service State Lands Contract Facilitator.
