The Government will evaluate quotations based on:

1. Technical Capability

2. Past Performance

3. Cultural Awareness and Community Engagement

4. Price

When combined, Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Cultural Awareness and Community Engagement are more important than Price.

The Government reserves the right to make award without conducting discussions. Offerors should submit their best technical and price quotation with their initial submission.
