3. BIDDER’S RESPONSE ASSESSMENT

Assessment Information For assessment purposes, the method of award will be based on the following criteria:

· Lowest Cost

Cash Discounts Cash discounts will not be considered when evaluating RFQ responses for award purposes. However, cash discounts may be offered and taken by departments processing invoices within the timeframe specified.

Responsive and Responsible Bidder A bidder who is responsible and submits a responsive bid is one who clearly indicates compliance without material deviation from the solicitation’s terms and conditions and who possesses the experience, facilities, reputation, financial resources and other factors existing at the time of contract award.

The Department of Justice may require bidder(s) to submit evidence of their qualifications at such times and under conditions, as it may deem necessary. The question of whether a particular bidder is a responsible bidder may involve an evaluation of the bidder’s experience, type of facility, expertise or financial resources regarding the particular items requested by the pertinent RFQ. If a bidder has been determined to be non-responsible, the RFQ response shall be rejected.

Tie Break Process In the event of a precise tie, if GC §14838(f) does not apply to the Bidders, award will be made to the first responsive bidder with the lowest price.

4. AWARD OF CONTRACT

Award of contract, if made, will be made to a responsible bidder whose RFQ response complies with all the requirements of the RFQ documents and an addenda thereto, except for such immaterial defects as may be waived by the State.

Award, if made, will be made within forty-five (45) days after the scheduled date for Contract Award as specified in the RFQ; however, bidder may extend the offer beyond 45 days in the event of a delay of contract award.

The State reserves the right to determine the successful bidder(s) either on the basis of individual items or on the basis of all items included in its RFQ, unless otherwise expressly provided in the State’s RFQ. Unless the bidder specifies otherwise in its RFQ response, the State may accept any item or group of items of any RFQ response. The State reserves the right to modify or cancel in whole or in part its RFQ.

Written notification of the State’s intent to award will be made to all bidders. If a bidder, having submitted an RFQ response, can show that its RFQ response, instead of the RFQ response selected by the State, should be selected for contract award, the bidder will be allowed five (5) working days to submit a protest to the Intent to Award, according to the instructions contained in the paragraph titled “Protests” of this RFQ.

Protests Any bidder’s issues regarding RFQ requirements must be resolved (or attempts to resolve them must have been made) before a protest may be submitted according to the procedure below. These issues will first be resolved by the contact for the RFQ (the buyer) or if they result in a protest, the protest will be submitted to DGS Procurement Division Deputy Director to hear and resolve issues and whose decision will be final.

If a bidder has submitted a bid which it believes to be responsive to the requirements of the RFQ and to be the bid that should have been selected according to the evaluation procedures in the solicitation and the bidder believes the State has incorrectly selected another bidder for award, the bidder may submit a protest of the selection as described below.

All protests of award must be made in writing, signed by an individual authorized to bind the bidder contractually and financially, and contain a statement of the reason(s) for protest; citing the law, rule, regulation or procedure on which the protest is based. The protester must provide facts and evidence to support the claim. RFQ Contact (the buyer) must be notified via email if you submit a protest. Protests must be mailed or delivered to:

Street and Mailing Address:
