SELECTION CRITERIA

The RFP shall be awarded to the best-quoted proposal. The Evaluation Committee will be comprised of individuals from the City of Mesquite. The proposals will be evaluated on the factors outlined below which shall be applied to all eligible, responsive proposals in selecting the successful offeror. Award of a contract may be made without discussion with proposers after responses are received. Proposals should, therefore, be submitted on the most favorable terms. The successful proposer shall be selected by the committee on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications under the following criteria:

Contract Price (Base Bid) 40 points

Proposed Contract Amount (40%). The proposer with the lowest bid price will receive the maximum number of points, which is 40 points. The proposer with the next lowest price will receive a point score that is based on dividing their price into the lowest bid price and multiplying the resulting percentage by the total points;

example using $100,000 as the low bid and $110,000 as second low bid: calculated as follows:

$100,000/$110,000 X 40.

Qualifications of Key Project Personnel 20 points

The proposal should include a list of key company personnel and their relevant experience in the industry as well as employment history. While employment stability with a single firm is very important, the overall experience in the industry is equally important. Both will be considered in the evaluation.

Similar Project Experience (Both Past and in Progress) 20 points

The proposal should include a list of at least three (3) similar projects over the last five years as well as a list of work currently in progress. Similar project experience shall include:

• New Water Main Installation

• Residential Street Reconstruction

• Concrete Street Panel Replacement

Quality of the Proposer’s Goods and Services 20 points

This includes an evaluation of previous projects and references including projects with the City of Mesquite as well as the percentage of work to be completed by subcontractors. Contractors’ current workload and ability for prompt mobilization will also be taken into consideration.

Each proposer is responsible for submitting all relevant, factual and correct information with their proposal. The Evaluation

Committee will assign a ranking score to each proposer based on the available data. If additional sheets are attached to the

RFP specification package, the proposer shall clearly cross-reference the appropriate location in the solicitation (i.e., page number, paragraph, subject, etc.).

Proposers or their authorized representatives are expected to fully inform themselves as to the general terms and conditions, requirements, and specifications of this proposal before submitting proposals. Failure to do so will be at the proposer’s own risk.

If it is necessary to conduct interviews, the City of Mesquite will choose the number of proposers to be interviewed and schedule them accordingly. Those selected will make in-person presentations to City staff members. The proposers may be asked to submit a “best and final offer,” updating any changes made to the original proposal, including price.

Negotiations may be conducted with responsible proposers who submit proposals determined to be susceptible of being selected for award. All proposers will be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for negotiation and revision of proposals. Revisions to proposals may be permitted after submission and before award for the purpose of obtaining best and final offers.
