Price Proposal Evaluation The sealed Price Proposals will be opened and scored as follows:

· The lowest Price Proposal will receive 300 points.

· The second lowest Price Proposal will receive 250 points.

· The third lowest Price Proposal will receive 200 points.

· The fourth lowest Price Proposal will receive 150 points.

· Lower ranked Price Proposals will receive 100 points.

Proposal Ranking The Single Point of Contact will average the scores for each Proposal in a given round of competition (calculated by totaling the points awarded by each Evaluation Panel member and dividing by the number of members). The Single Point of Contact will then combine the average score for each Proposal with the Price Proposal score and rank order the Proposals, with the Proposal with the highest score receiving the highest rank, and successive rank order determined by the next highest score.

Treasury will rank all Proposers at the conclusion of the evaluation and scoring and may, in Treasury’s sole discretion, determine an apparent successful Proposer with no additional rounds of competition. If additional rounds are conducted, Treasury will rank advancing Proposers at the conclusion of each subsequent round and may determine an apparent successful Proposer at any time during the solicitation process.

Next Step Determination At the conclusion of a round of competition, Treasury may choose to conduct an additional round(s) of competition if in its best interest. Additional rounds of competition may consist of, but will not be limited to:

· Interviews

· Discussions and submittal of revised Proposals

· Best and Final Offers

· Serial or simultaneous negotiations

Treasury may advance only the top three scoring Proposals to a subsequent round. Treasury will select the location of any interview, demonstration, or other event, or may conduct the event via teleconference or videoconference. Any Key Person that is listed in the Proposal must attend the Interview/Demonstration in Person at the location selected by Treasury.

Subsequent Round Scoring If Treasury conducts two or more rounds of competition, the Single Point of Contact will determine the cumulative score for each Proposal advancing through all rounds of competition by adding the scores from each completed round. The Proposal with the highest cumulative score will receive the highest final ranking.

Award and Negotiation

Notice of Intent to Award Treasury will send a Notice of Intent to Award to all Proposers. The Notice of Intent to Award will include the name of the selected Proposer. A Proposer to this Request may submit a protest under subsection 2.F of this Request.

Treasury may immediately begin negotiations with a Proposer if only one Proposal was submitted. Treasury is not required to evaluate the single Proposal and may waive the protest period.

Additional Information Requirements The Proposer awarded a contract under this Request is required to submit the following additional information:

· Proof of insurance for the lines of coverage provided in Exhibit B of Attachment A.

Unless Treasury agrees to modify any of the terms and conditions pursuant to any exception(s) included in the original Proposal, Treasury intends to enter into a Contract with the successful Proposer that is substantially in the form of the Sample Contract (Attachment A) included in this Request.

It may be possible to negotiate some provisions of the final Contract; however, Treasury is not required to make any changes and many provisions cannot be changed.

Therefore, Treasury will consider the scope of requested exceptions in the evaluation of Proposal.

Any subsequent negotiated changes are subject to approval of the Oregon Department of Justice.

In the event that the parties have not reached mutually agreeable terms within 30 calendar days, Treasury may terminate negotiations and commence negotiations with the next highest-ranking Proposer.
