Notice of intent to award for RFP 275 18000003313

The state of Michigan, specifically involving jurisdictions including Grand Traverse County and Lansing City, issued a Request for Proposal (RFP 275 18000003313) for a Part Time Lottery Assistant Drawing Manager position. The procurement was conducted through the Michigan Lottery's Enterprise Procurement division, with the RFP initially posted on SIGMA VSS on August 20, 2018, and proposals due by September 7, 2018. The contract requires a contractor capable of working diverse schedules including days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, with a minimum commitment of two weekends per month. Key qualifications included undergoing training, reporting unusual incidents, maintaining current contact and email information, and possessing basic computer and literacy skills. The evaluation was performed by subject matter experts from the Lottery/Marketing Drawing Unit and Lottery/Marketing departments, utilizing a comprehensive scoring methodology across four primary categories: service capabilities (20 points), availability (50 points), vendor questions (5 points), and prior lottery experience (20 points).

The procurement did not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and the recommended awardee, Heather M. Miller, was noted as not being registered as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business. Miller was the sole bidder in this procurement, receiving a technical evaluation score of 95 out of 100 points and meeting all mandatory requirements. The proposed contract term is one year, with a total award value of $33,075, calculated at $131.25 per drawing for 126 drawings annually. The award is pending final State Administrative Board approval. The contractor has demonstrated several years of prior experience working with the State of Michigan, which likely contributed to the high technical evaluation score and recommendation for award.
