RFQ 3140004204 PHASE I SCORES - JESSICA WALZER.pdf

This document contains phase I evaluation scoring sheets for RFQ 3140004204, related to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History's (MDAH) Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Natchez Tribal History Center (NTHC) exhibit design and build project. The RFQ seeks an exhibit firm to comprehensively research, design, fabricate, and install exhibits across 4,420 sq ft of exhibition space, including an 830 sq ft introductory media space and a 3,590 sq ft 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 project is scheduled to begin in August 2025, with a contract end date of December 31, 2027, and a targeted opening date of 2027, with the RFQ response due by May 21, 2025.

The evaluation scoring sheets show multiple vendors' scores across various criteria, including total score, costs, project team, project plan, management factors, fabrication and installation, innovative use of technology, past experience, and technical factors. Each vendor is evaluated on a 25% total score weight, with specific point allocations for different evaluation categories. The scoring appears to be part of the initial phase of vendor selection, with weights assigned to different aspects of the proposals to determine the most qualified exhibit design and build firm for the NTHC project. The total project budget is $3.5 million, with the primary objective of preserving and presenting the history of the Natchez Indians and the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians site, a National Historic Landmark.
