9. Evaluation:

Offerors may be contacted for clarification purposes during the initial evaluation. Offerors shall be notified if their offer is determined unacceptable and the reasons for rejection will be provided. Unacceptable offers will be excluded from further consideration.

b) Step Two—Discussion, Interview, Selection, Negotiation, and Award

All acceptable offers will be evaluated against the Scope of Services and the evaluation criteria listed above. Based on this evaluation, the district has the option, depending on the specific circumstances of the offers received, to use one of the following methods of selection:

1. make individual selection(s), conduct negotiations, and make an award(s).

2. conduct parallel negotiations with all offerors and make award(s).

3. conduct discussions with all offerors, select successful finalists, conduct parallel negotiations with successful finalists, and then make award(s).

4. conduct discussions with all offerors, conduct parallel negotiations with the finalists, select successful finalist(s), and then make award(s).

5. select successful finalist(s), conduct interviews, conduct successive negotiations, and make successive selections and awards.

6. make no award(s).

10. Competitively negotiated contract using Best Value Selection:

This solicitation shall be conducted using Best Value Selection that results in an award that is most advantageous to the district based on the best value combination of (a) evaluating criteria and (b) evaluated price (cost) of the offers submitted.

Best Value Selection is based on the premise that, if all offers are of approximately equal qualitative merit, award will be given to the offeror with the lowest evaluated price (cost).

However, the district will consider awarding an offeror with a higher evaluated price (cost) if the offer demonstrates the difference in price (cost) is commensurate with the higher qualitative merit. Conversely, the district will consider awarding an offeror with a lower evaluated qualitative merit if the price (cost) differential between it and other offers warrant doing so.

11. Proposed contract award and Period of Performance:

It is the intent of the district to award one or more contracts under this solicitation. The anticipated period of performance is from execution of the contract through April 20, 2029.
