Evaluation Synopsis I. Evaluation Process A Responsible Vendor is a vendor that demonstrates it has the ability to successfully perform the duties identified by the solicitation. A Responsive proposal is one that is submitted in accordance with the solicitation instructions and meets all mandatory requirements identified in the solicitation.

The award of a State contract will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder who offers the best value and lowest overall cost to the State of Michigan. The price proposal evaluation includes consideration of a qualified service-disabled veteran preference. Information related to qualified service-disabled veteran preference is located at http://michigan.gov/micontractconnect/0,4541,7-225-48677-123519--,00.html .

The State strongly encourages strict adherence to the Standard Contract Terms. The State reserves the right to deem a bid non-responsive for failure to honor the Standard Contract Terms. Nevertheless, the bidder may submit proposed changes (bidder must use track changes to identify specific proposed changes) to the Standard Contract Terms accompanied by a detailed explanation as to each change for State consideration; failure to do so will constitute the bidder’s acceptance of the Standard Contract Terms. General statements, such as that the bidder reserves the right to negotiate the terms and conditions, may also be considered non-responsive.

The State may, but is not required to, conduct an on-site visit to tour and inspect the bidder's facilities, require an oral presentation of the bidder's proposal, conduct interviews with bidders, or request additional price concessions at any point during the evaluation process.

The full evaluation process is stated in the RFQ Proposal Instructions.
