RFQ 3140004204 PHASE I SCORES - CINDY GARDNER COMPRESSED.pdf

The document contains evaluation scoring sheets for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) for the Natchez Tribal History Center (NTHC) exhibit design and build project. The RFQ seeks an exhibit design firm to comprehensively research, design, fabricate, and install exhibits across 4,420 square feet of exhibition space, including an introductory media space and exhibit gallery. The project requires an all-inclusive design/build contract covering content research, image research, copyright permissions, exhibit design, A/V development, scriptwriting, label development, lighting, fabrication, and installation. The evaluation process uses a 100-point scoring system, with multiple vendors scored across categories including past experience, innovative use of technology, fabrication and installation, management plan, project team, and cost factors.

The scoring sheets reveal multiple vendor submissions, with each vendor receiving points across different evaluation criteria. The total possible points are 100, with weightings including 15% for past experience on projects of similar scope, 10-15% for innovative use of technology and techniques, 10-15% for fabrication and installation, 10% for project team, 10% for management plan, and 25% for cost factors. The vendors are evaluated on their ability to meet the project's requirements, with total scores ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s. The project is scheduled to begin in August 2025, with a contract end date of December 31, 2027, and a targeted exhibit opening in 2027. The total project budget is $3.5 million, focusing on preserving and presenting the history of the Natchez Indians and the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians site.
