The TMD will then rank the interview scores separately from the original evaluation scores to make a determination for award recommendation.

5) Giving priority in the order of the ranking determined by the scores, the TMD will undertake to negotiate an agreement with the Respondent, which is evaluated as the highest scoring and deemed the best value to the State. The TMD will determine if price negotiations are necessary and may negotiate final pricing per TGC, Chapter 2269, Subchapter D, §2269.155 (b), (c). A contract may be awarded without negotiations if it is in the best interest of the State. The evaluation committee will evaluate the finalists and make a recommendation for the award. If an agreement cannot be negotiated, the negotiations will be formally terminated, and the TMD will attempt to negotiate an agreement with the next Respondent in order of scoring until an agreement is reached or the list is exhausted, upon which the solicitation will be canceled and may be re-issued.

6) In evaluating proposals to determine the best value for the State of Texas, the Respondent's past performance will be measured on pass/fail criteria, in compliance with applicable provisions of Texas Gov't Code §§ 2155.074, 2155.075, 2156.007, 2157.003, and

2157.125. The following examples of poor past performance may affect a potential Contract award and will be considered during the evaluation of proposals:

a. A score of less than a C or Legacy Unsatisfactory in the Vendor Performance Tracking

System;

b. Currently under a Corrective Action Plan through the Comptroller of Public Accounts

(CPA) or TMD;

c. Having repeated negative Vendor Performance Reports for the same reason;

d. Having a record of repeated non-responsiveness to Vendor Performance issues or

e. Having purchase orders that have been canceled in the previous 12 months for non-performance (late delivery, etc.).

Contractor performance information is located on CPA's website at:

http://www.txsmartbuy.gov/vpts

7) TMD may conduct reference checks with other entities regarding past performance. In addition to evaluating performance through the Vendor Performance Tracking System, TMD may examine other sources of vendor performance, including, but not limited to, notices of termination, cure notices, assessments of liquidated damages, litigation, audit reports, and non-renewals of contracts. Such sources of vendor performance may include any governmental entity, whether an agency or political subdivision of the State of Texas, another state, or the Federal government. Further, TMD may initiate such examinations of vendor performance based on media reports. Any such investigations will be at the sole discretion of the TMD, and any negative findings, as determined by the TMD, may result in non-award to Respondent.

8) Respondent understands that all obligations of the TMD under the RFP are contingent on the availability of state and federal funds. If such funds are not appropriated or become http://www.txsmartbuy.gov/vpts unavailable, the TMD may terminate the Contract. TMD reserves the right to award all, none, or any sequence of options contingent upon the availability of funds.

9) A response to this RFP is an offer to contract with the TMD based on the terms, conditions, drawings/plans, and specifications contained in the RFP. Proposals do not become contracts until they are accepted by the TMD and after a written formal Notice of Award

(NOA).

10) The NOA will consist of the following documentation that the Respondent may or may not be required to complete.

a. Owner-Contractor Agreement.

b. Tax Exemption Certificate.

c. Certification Regarding Lobbying (if an award is over $100K)

d. 1295 Form Texas Ethics Commission (if an award is $1M or more)

e. Contractor's Payment Affidavit.

f. TMD Application and Certification for Payment.

g. HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) Prime Contractor Progress Assessment Report.

h. Solid Waste Reporting.

i. Consent of Surety to Final Payment, Contractor's Affidavit of Payment of Debts and

Claims, and Contractor's Affidavit of Release of Liens.

11) The performance of the successful Respondent, which resulted in an awarded contract, will be monitored and reported through the Comptroller's Vendor Reporting Tracking System as described in 34 Texas Administrative Code §20.115.
