SECTION 3 – SUBMITTING A BID

This section identifies how to prepare and submit your bid to DFI for this Competitive Solicitation. In addition, Bidders will need to review and follow the Competitive Solicitation requirements including those set forth in the exhibits, which identifies the information that Bidders must provide to DFI to constitute a responsive bid. By responding to this Competitive Solicitation and submitting a bid, Bidders acknowledge having read and understood the entire Competitive Solicitation and accept all information contained within this Competitive Solicitation.

3.1. BID FORMAT. Required Bid Submittals must be complete, legible, signed, and follow all instructions stated in the Competitive Solicitation (including the exhibits). Unless otherwise specified in writing by DFI, Required Bid Submittals and permitted ancillary documents must be prepared and delivered in MS Word, MS Excel, or Adobe PDF. Where required to do so, Bidders may sign Required Bid Submittals using either a physical or electronic signature.

3.2. PRICING. Bidders must identify and include all cost elements in their pricing. In the event that Bidder is awarded a Contract, the total price for the Services shall be Bidder’s price as submitted. Except as provided in the Contract, there shall be no additional costs of any kind.

3.3. SUBMITTING BIDS. Bidders must email Required Bid Submittals to wasaves@dfi.wa.gov. Please note:

· Bidder’s email, including all attachments, must not exceed 30MB in size.

· DFI will not accept or open zipped files.

· DFI will acknowledge bid receipt by responsive email. If Bidder does not receive such acknowledgement within five (5) business days, Bidder must contact the Procurement Coordinator to confirm acknowledgement of bid receipt. Acknowledgement of bid receipt is not a determination on the bid’s responsiveness.

3.4. ADDITIONAL BID SUBMITTALS. Bidders may not provide unsolicited materials. For any supplemental materials expressly required by DFI in writing, Bidders must identify such supplemental materials with Bidder’s name.

3.5. PUBLIC RECORDS. Submitted bids and any supplemental Bidder materials pertaining to this Competitive Solicitation are subject to Washington’s Public Records Act (RCW 42.56) and, in the event of a public records request, will be disclosed unless statutorily exempt from disclosure. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services “DES” and DFI strongly discourage Bidders from unnecessarily submitting sensitive information (e.g., information Bidders may categorize as ‘confidential,’ ‘proprietary,’ ‘sensitive,’ ‘trade secret,’ etc.).

· If, in Bidder’s judgment, Washington’s Public Records Act provides an applicable statutory exemption from disclosure for certain portions of Bidder’s bid, please mark the precise portion(s) of the relevant page(s) of the bid that Bidder believes are statutorily exempt from disclosure and identify the precise statutory basis for exemption from disclosure.

· In addition, if, in Bidder’s judgment, certain portions of Bidder’s bid are not statutorily exempt from disclosure but are sensitive because these particular portions of Bidder’s bid (NOT including pricing) include highly confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information (or the equivalent) that Bidder protects through the regular use of confidentiality or similar agreements and routine enforcements through court enforcement actions, please mark the precise portion(s) of the relevant page(s) of Bidder’s bid that include such sensitive information.

In the event that DES or DFI receives a public records disclosure request pertaining to information that Bidder has submitted and marked either as (a) statutorily exempt from disclosure; or (b) sensitive, DES or DFI, prior to disclosure, will do the following:

· DES or DFI will review any records marked by Bidder as statutorily exempt from disclosure. In those situations, where Bidder’s designation of the precise portion(s) of the relevant page(s) of Bidder’s bid aligns with the stated precise statutory exemption from disclosure, DES will redact or withhold the precise portion(s) of the relevant page(s) of Bidder’s bid document(s) as appropriate.

· For documents marked by Bidder as ‘sensitive’ or for documents where DES or DFI either determines that no statutory exemption to disclosure applies or is unable to determine whether the stated precise statutory exemption to disclosure properly applies, DES or DFI will notify Bidder, at the address provided in the bid submittal, of the public records disclosure request and identify the date that DES or DFI intends to release the document(s) (including documents marked ‘sensitive’ or exempt from disclosure) to the requester unless Bidder, at Bidder’s sole expense, timely obtains a court order enjoining DES or DFI from such disclosure. In the event Bidder fails to timely file a motion for a court order enjoining such disclosure, DES or DFI will release the requested document(s) on the date specified. Bidder’s failure properly to identify exempted or sensitive information or timely respond after notice of request for public disclosure has been given shall be deemed a waiver by Bidder of any claim that such materials are exempt or protected from disclosure.

SECTION 4 – BID EVALUATION

This section identifies how DFI will evaluate bids for this Competitive Solicitation.

4.1. OVERVIEW. DFI will evaluate bids for this Competitive Solicitation as described below.

· Bid Review: DES and DFI will review bids to determine bid responsiveness as stated in Section 4.2, below.

· Bid Evaluation: DFI will evaluate responsive bids as stated in Sections 4.3 – 4.5, below.

· Procurement Authority Discretion. DFI reserves the right to:

a) Request Bidder clarification regarding any bid;

b) Waive any informality;

c) Reject any or all bids, or portions thereof;

d) Cancel the Competitive Solicitation and, if desired, re-solicit bids; and/or

e) Negotiate with the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder(s) to determine whether such bids can be improved.

DFI will use the following process and evaluation criteria to determine eligibility for a Contract award:

See Section 4.2, below

Review Bidder’s Required Bid Submittals to determine whether Bidder’s bid is responsive to the Competitive Solicitation Pass/Fail

Exhibit D – Contract Review whether Bidder’s Goods/Services and/or Bidder’s performance capability meets the mandatory minimum performance specifications for the Competitive Solicitation Pass/Fail

See Section 4.3, below

Exhibit B – Scored Non-Cost Scored Factors Evaluate and score Bidder’s response to stated non-cost factors including, as applicable, Bidder’s Goods/Services and/or Bidder’s performance capability that exceeds mandatory minimum performance specifications for the Competitive Solicitation

Exhibit C – Bid Price Evaluate and score Bidder’s cost factors

See Section 4.4, below

See Section 4.5, below

Bidder Responsibility Analysis Review and determine Bidder responsibility Pass/Fail

See Section 4.6, below

See Section 4.7, below

See Section 4.8, below

4.2. BID RESPONSIVENESS (STEP 1A). DES will review bids – on a pass/fail basis – to determine whether the bid complies with the Competitive Solicitation requirements and, therefore, is ‘responsive.’ If DES determines that a bid is nonresponsive, DES will reject the bid and notify the Bidder, in writing, that the bid is nonresponsive. Such written notification will include a brief explanation as to why the bid is nonresponsive.

DES or DFI, at their discretion, may waive informalities in a bid. An informality is an immaterial variation from the exact requirements of the Competitive Solicitation, having no effect or merely a minor or negligible effect on quality, quantity, or delivery of the goods or the quality, capability, or performance of the services being procured, and the correction or waiver of which would not affect the relative standing of, or be otherwise prejudicial, to Bidders.

Consistent with the Washington State Legislature’s policy goals to reduce barriers to competition and increasing opportunities for small businesses to contract with state agencies, DES or DFI, at their discretion, may clarify a Bidder’s bid that is in substantial compliance with the instructions. Clarifications are intended to ensure that the bids are complete and can be evaluated fairly.

· REVIEW BIDDER’S REQUIRED BID SUBMITTALS (STEP 1A). DES will review each bid to determine whether:

· The bid is complete – i.e., does Bidder’s bid include each of the Required Bid Submittals as stated in Appendix A – Summary Table of All Exhibits & the Required Bid Submittals;

· Bidder’s Required Bid Submittals are complete, consistent with the instructions, signed, and legible; and

· Bidder’s certifications, as provided by Bidder in Bidder’s submitted Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification, constitute a responsive bid.

· REVIEW MINIMUM REQUIRED PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS (STEP 1B). DFI will review each bid to determine whether Bidder’s Services and Bidder’s performance capability meets the minimum required specifications and performance requirements stated in Exhibit D – Contract. Note: DFI reserves the right to request additional Bidder information or perform tests and measurements before selecting Apparent Successful Bidders. If Bidder fails to provide such requested information to DFI within five (5) business days, Bidder may be disqualified.

4.3. BID EVALUATION: SCORED FACTORS (STEP 2A). DFI will evaluate and score responsive bids as specified below and as set forth in the referenced exhibits. Note: It is imperative that Bidder’s Required Bid Submittals comply with the instructions set forth in the exhibits.

· NON-COST FACTORS (STEP 2A). DFI will evaluate and score the specified non-cost factors stated in Exhibit B – Scored Non-Cost Factors by evaluating and scoring Bidder’s response – i.e., Bidder’s Services and Bidder’s performance capability that exceeds the stated minimum required performance specifications. Note: DFI reserves the right to request additional Bidder information or perform tests and measurements before selecting Apparent Successful Bidder. If Bidder fails to provide such requested information to DFI within five (5) business days, Bidder may be disqualified.

· COST FACTORS – BID PRICING (STEP 2B). DFI will evaluate and score Bidder’s cost factors, as provided by Bidder in Bidder’s Exhibit C – Bid Price, as follows:

The bid with the lowest total evaluation price will receive 50 points. Bids with a higher evaluation price will receive proportionately fewer evaluation points based upon the bid with the lowest total evaluation price, using the following formula:

Lowest total bid evaluation price divided by a higher total bid evaluation price (i.e., the bid that is being evaluated) multiplied by the total number of available points equals the cost factor evaluation points. Points will be rounded to three places to the right of the decimal point using standard rounding method.

Sample Calculation:

Using Bidder A = $60/hr (lowest total evaluation price) and Bidder B = $100/hr Bid B calculation: $60/hr (Bidder A, lowest total evaluation price) / $100/hr (Bidder B’s evaluation price) = 0.6 x 50 (maximum points available) = 30.

Bidder A is the bid with the lowest total bid evaluation price, so it would be assigned the maximum available points, 50 points. Bidder B would be assigned 30 points based on the formula above.

4.4. WASHINGTON STATE PROCUREMENT PRIORITIES & PREFERENCES (STEP 3). This Competitive Solicitation is subject to the Washington state procurement priorities and/or preferences stated below (collectively, “Washington Procurement Priorities for Goods/Services Contracts”). Accordingly, DFI will evaluate Bidder’s bid to determine (a) whether Bidder is requesting to be considered for such Washington Procurement Priorities for Goods/Services Contracts; and (b) whether Bidder’s bid qualifies for such Washington Procurement Priorities for Goods/Services Contracts. DFI will score qualifying bids and adjust Bidder’s total evaluation score accordingly.

· PROCUREMENT PREFERENCE FOR BIDDER COMPLIANCE WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER 18-03. DFI will provide a bid preference in the amount of 10 points to Bidders who certify, pursuant to Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification, that Bidder complies with Executive Order 18-03.

· PROCUREMENT PREFERENCE FOR A WASHINGTON SMALL BUSINESS. DFI will provide a bid preference in the amount of 10 points to Bidders who certify, pursuant to Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification, that Bidder is a Washington Small Business.

· PROCUREMENT PREFERENCE FOR CERTIFIED VETERAN OWNED BUSINESS. DFI will provide a bid preference in the amount of 10 points to Bidders who certify, pursuant to Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification, that Bidder is a Certified Veteran Owned Business.

4.5. BIDDER RESPONSIBILITY DETERMINATION (STEP 4). The Washington State Legislature requires that Washington state agencies award contracts for goods/services only to ‘responsible bidders.’ See RCW 39.26.160(2). Accordingly, to be eligible to be considered for a Contract award resulting from this Competitive Solicitation, DFI must determine that Bidder is a ‘responsible bidder.’ Accordingly, DFI will make reasonable inquiry to determine bidder responsibility on a pass/fail basis. In determining bidder responsibility, DFI will consider the following:

· Bidder’s certifications as provided in Bidder’s Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification;

· Bidder’s ability, capacity, and skill to perform the Contract or provide the Goods/Services;

· Bidder’s character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency;

· Bidder’s ability to perform the Contract within the time specified;

· Bidder’s performance quality pertaining to previous contracts or services;

· Bidder’s compliance with laws relating to the Contract or services;

· Whether, within the three-year period immediately preceding the date of the Competitive Solicitation, Bidder has been determined by a final and binding citation and notice of assessment issued by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries or through a civil judgment entered by a court of limited or general jurisdiction to have willfully violated, as defined in RCW 49.48.082, any provision of chapter 49.46, 49.48, or 49.52 RCW; and

· Such other information as may be secured having a bearing on the decision to award a Contract.

In addition, DFI may consider the following:

· Financial Information: DFI may request financial statements, credit ratings, references, record of past performance, clarification of Bidder’s bid, on-site inspection of Bidder's or subcontractor's facilities, or other information as necessary to determine Bidder’s capacity to perform and the enforceability of Bidder’s contractual commitments. Failure to respond to these requests may result in a bid being rejected as non-responsive.

· References: DFI reserves the right to use references to confirm satisfactory customer service, performance, satisfaction with service/product, knowledge of products/service/industry and timeliness. Any negative or unsatisfactory reference can be reason for rejecting a Bidder as non-responsible.

DFI reserves the right to request bidder responsibility information from Bidder. If Bidder fails to provide such information to DFI within five (5) business days, Bidder may be disqualified.

4.6. ANNOUNCEMENT OF APPARENT SUCCESSFUL BIDDER (STEP 5). DFI will determine the Apparent Successful Bidder (“ASB”). The ASB will be the responsive and responsible Bidder who best meets the Competitive Solicitation requirements and presents the best total value based on the evaluation criteria stated above.

· ASB designation does not imply that DFI will issue a Contract award. Rather, this designation allows DFI to perform further analysis and ask for additional documentation. Bidders must not construe ASB designation as an award, impending award, attempt to negotiate, etc. If a Bidder acts or fails to act as a result of such notification or designation, it does so at its own risk and expense.

· Upon announcement of ASB, Bidders may request a debrief conference.

4.7. BID INFORMATION AVAILABILITY (STEP 6). Upon DFI’s announcement of ASB:

· All bid submissions and all bid evaluations are subject to public disclosure pursuant to Washington’s Public Records Act. See RCW 39.26.030(2).

· DFI will post all bid evaluations to DFI’s website. In addition, DFI intends to post winning bid submissions to its webpage after Contract awards.

4.8. CONTRACT AWARDS (STEP 7). Subject to protests, if any, DFI and the ASB will enter into a Contract as set forth in Exhibit D – Contract. An award, in part or full, is made, and a contract formed by signature of DFI and the awarded Bidder on the Contract. Following Contract award, all Bidders registered in WEBS will receive a Notice of Award delivered to the Bidder’s email address provided in Bidder’s WEBS profile.

4.9. ADDITIONAL AWARDS. DFI reserves the right, during the resulting Contract term, to make additional Contract awards to responsive, responsible Bidders who provided a bid but who were not awarded a Contract. Such awards would be on the same or substantially similar terms and conditions and would be designed to address an awarded Contractor vacancy (e.g., an awarded contractor is terminated or goes out of business), respond to Purchaser needs, or be in the best interest of the State of Washington.
