About this file

This document is an Addendum to the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) released by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) for Tablets and Software for the Department's Automated Driver License Testing System (ADLTS). The ITN seeks to establish a contract with one vendor to provide a complete solution consisting of electronic tablets, software, software integration, installation, configuration, testing, warranty, maintenance, support, and training to be used by state Driver License offices, Tax Collector offices, the Driver Education Licensing and Assistance Program (DELAP), and Third Party Administrators for driver license testing purposes. The Addendum revises the Price Sheet and Evaluation Criteria, clarifies requirements around software licensing and pricing, and provides responses to various questions from potential bidders.

The Addendum specifies that the software and any software enhancements must be provided at no cost to the Department, Tax Collectors, and DELAP, and that Third Party Administrators may only be charged on a per knowledge exam or skills test basis. The Price Sheet evaluation criteria have been revised to include points for both the original and renewal contract terms. The Addendum also confirms that while virtual proctoring is not currently used, the Department is interested in learning about vendors' virtual proctoring capabilities, and that a vendor-hosted environment utilizing AWS GovCloud would be considered.

3.1 Price Sheet Evaluation

The Department will review each responsive and responsible Respondent’s submitted PRICE SHEET, ATTACHMENT F, Tab 1 and award points, based on the following.

Original Contract Term: The Respondent submitting the lowest total price for the original contract term will automatically receive the maximum of thirty (30) points. The total price for the Original Contract Term for a response will be the Total Price Original Contract Term (A + C) on Tab 2 of ATTACHMENT F, PRICE SHEET of the response.

Tablets and Software for the Department’s Automated Driver License

FLHSMV-ITN-001-22 Page 3 of 16

Renewal Contract Term: The respondent submitting the lowest total price for the renewal term, will automatically receive the maximum of ten (10) points. The total price for the Renewal Contract Term for a response will be the Total Price Renewal Contract Term (B + D) on Tab 2 of ATTACHMENT F, PRICE SHEET of the response.

The remaining Respondents will receive a percentage of the maximum points using the formula below, starting with the Respondent submitting the next lowest total price.

Points will be rounded to the nearest hundredth decimal. This process continues until each proposed total has been calculated for each Respondent for both contract terms (Original Contract Term and Renewal Contract Term) using the below formulas.

Original Contract Term

Renewal Contract Term

For the purposes of tabulating the final Price Sheet points for ATTACHMENT F, PRICE SHEET, the points for both the Original Contract Term and the Renewal Contract Term, will be added together to calculate the respondent’s Final Price Sheet points.

Scoring Example:

The scoring example provided below is instructional only and does not represent actual points to be awarded. In this example, rounding was utilized for ease of reference.

Lowest Proposed Total Price ÷

[next-lowest] Respondent’s Proposed Total Price x

Total Points Awarded for the Respondent’s Proposed Total Price

(Original Contract Term)

Lowest Proposed Total Price ÷

[next-lowest] Respondent’s Proposed Total Price x

Total Points Awarded for the Respondent’s Proposed Total Price

(Renewal Contract Term)

Tablets and Software for the Department’s Automated Driver License

FLHSMV-ITN-001-22 Page 4 of 16

Points are also not calculated using any weighting. Points in this scoring example are calculated only for the Original Contract Term.

In this example there are four (4) Respondents each submitting total prices as indicated below:

In this example table, Respondent 1 submitted the lowest total price, therefore, Respondent 1 would receive the 30 maximum points. Utilizing the following formula, the next lowest price (submitted by Respondent 4) would be as follows:

$100,000

$120,000

= 83% (or 0.83) x 30 = 24.9

Total Price Sheet Evaluation Score:

The Department will use the same formula to calculate scores for the Renewal Contract Term (ten (10) possible points). The awarded points for the Original Contract Term and the Renewal Contract Term on Tab 1 of ATTACHMENT F – PRICE SHEET, Tab 1 and Tab 2 will be added together to determine the Respondent’s Final Price Sheet points.

Respondent Total Price

Respondent 1 $ 100,000

Respondent 2 $ 150,000

Respondent 3 $ 125,000

Respondent 4 $ 120,000
