Award Criteria Figure Formula Summary

This document outlines the Award Criteria Figure (ACF) formula used by the County for bid evaluation purposes in a service contract solicitation. The formula establishes a weighted scoring methodology across three facility categories: General Facilities, Detention Facilities, and OSHPD Facilities. Each category is further subdivided by working hours classification—Normal Working Hours and Other than Normal Working Hours. Bidders must submit Adjustment Factors for each facility type and hours classification, which are then multiplied by specified percentages (40% for General Facilities Normal Hours, 10% for General Facilities Other Hours, 15% for Detention Facilities Normal Hours, 10% for Detention Facilities Other Hours, 15% for OSHPD Facilities Normal Hours, and 10% for OSHPD Facilities Other Hours). All calculations must be carried to the fourth decimal place.

The final Award Criteria Figure is calculated by summing the weighted values from all six multiplied lines. The County explicitly states that the stated percentages are for bid evaluation purposes only and that the County is not obligated to issue Job Orders in the stated percentage distributions. This formula provides a standardized mechanism for comparing bids across multiple facility types and operating conditions to determine the most advantageous proposal for the County.
